Okay, that means that Omar isn't satisfied with the potential starting rotation we can field right now.

That’s a good thing, in that he recognizes that fact, I guess.

With some GMs, you really gotta scrape the bottom of the barrel.

that means Omar is meeting with all the high profile FAs because he has to

if he wants to keep his job.

doesn’t mean he’ll sign any of them, but he has to go thru the motions.

you know what I'm sayin' ?

At least he knows those people are FAs, right?

Twitter just makes it all so much worse.

Gonna be all beat writers going the full twat and tweeting everything they hear. Every time our GM grunts during his morning grumpy, some beat writer will be in the next stall interpreting the ordeal as a proposed trade for Roy Halladay. 10 minutes later we will learn that it was all just rumors heard in the can.

I think this is all...

…nothing more than a smoke screen, I don’t think they have any intentions in changing this roster at all, and by the way, Lackey is not Latino, so I doubt even further if there’s really any genuine interest here.

Did they get kicked out of Metsblog?

@Kevin_Goldstein
+ Hours here: Four. Team officials that have told me that their system is better than what people think: 4.
+ Quick update — Another team, two minutes after reading that tweet, became the fifth to tell me their system is better than people think.

I would like to meet the GM that says

“You know what? Our system is actually worse than the general consensus”.

the number one issue facing the Mets is finding that one guy who’s going to say "get on my shoulders and ride me to the championship."

I would vote for a realist

I’m fed up with PR men in front offices

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!
