I don't know what's worse: Them 'stealing' grission, or theoretically advocating his return.

does this guy not get the joke?

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

I don't think it's sarcasm, unfortunately

Lo Duca wore his heart on his sleeve and was never one to pull punches. As a catcher he defended his pitchers to the max, and he would let an umpire know if he thought they were squeezing his batterymate.

WTF?

I think its funny that he thinks that Lo Duca

A) could be healthy

B) and could hit .280

Did he forget about the Mitchell Report?

did he forget about the BABIP anomaly

What is the origin of the word grission anyway? Who invented it?

Gas prices today are a lot like a pitcher's ERA. Anything under 3 is amazing, under 4 is pretty good and anything 5 and up is something you want to avoid.

Oh, come on everybody.

They can’t possibly have stolen something us eggheads at AA never had.

Now everyone get back to reading your spreadsheets.

Judging by the comments to Matt Callan’s ode to 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember from a few weeks back, the video has a devoted Mets fan following. Despite being too young to remember anything about that season, it has a special place in my fandom as well. It was part of a two video rotation (Ghostbusters being the other) which ran almost daily on my television for a few years in the early 90s. And it remained a once-in-awhile watch through high school and college.

Unsurprisingly, the physical tape deteriorated over time, and the screen jumps and sound skips made for a less than optimal viewing experience. With sale of the video discontinued, my brother converted it to DVD and gave it to me for Christmas in 2010. See the picture above for the box and DVD. He even created a scene selection function which can be accessed from the main menu. "Get Metsmerized!" plays on loop on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a viewing.

I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.

Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
