It must be nice rooting for a team run by a competent front office.

Gotta have someone to root for in the AL: I'd be missing out on half of baseball.

I don’t know what it is about them, but I like the club.

I have someone to root for in the AL

it’s called “whoever’s playing the Yankees”

just one more thing

for people in seattle to feel self-satisfied about.

what?

Macs and Starbucks are the two most important inventions since the printing press. Bigger than electricity – it was just a wasted tool until Macs came along.

d'oh

I always thought Apple was from there. Maybe it’s b/c of my mental association with Macs and Starbucks – I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone with a PC in a Starbucks before

A "Zeile" for avoiding outs

Just make sure you don't get water or physical damage on a Mac

regardless if you’re under the warranty or buy apple care, they charge you at least $1500 to fix, and I had the $1100 Macbook.

Also, make sure you're not a smoker.

They’ll refuse to repair your laptop on the grounds that it’s a health hazard.

from the comments of that post
After Bavasi left the cupboards almost bare I was real down on the organization. Then Zduriencik made the Putz trade and I thought, well maybe this team will be good in 2011.

Good to see Omar is at least making the people of Seattle happy.

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!
