Whoa

I just looked at Dye’s BB-Ref page – what the hell happened in 2003? Did he go off-cycle or something?

"[The Giants] beat us down. We were beat by a grown-man team, a team we want to be like one day. They came in here and took it to us. Out-manned us, out-gunned us. ... It wasn't even close." - Raheem Morris, 9/27/09

I'm very disappointed.

I really expected him to have shown up by now.

I love

that my, and obviously a bunch of others’, first thought upon seeing the Dye news was Mr. American Hockey. Outstanding. I expect him to show up and this thread have no less than 80 comments by sunrise Saturday.

aww that didn't happen

If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

He's not coming back

His sig still has a call of a Piazza homerun…

wouldn't you figure

the fact that the White Sox (who could actually use him properly, which is to say, as a DH) just paid him a ton of money to go away should indicate what the Mets should do about this?

All Omar sees is Gary Sheffield part II

SIGN HIM UP BABAY

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.

"How'd we do it? Mirrors!"
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!
