Can we have Brian Bannister back?

Por favor.

But if the Royals insist, I’ll take Zach Greinke.

Someone's got anger management issues.

Seriously, who the hell tries to kill a guy over a game of dominoes?

I'm trying so hard to come up with a good joke

but I’m coming up empty. Seriously though, I think Burgos has passed Ugueth Urbina on the list of crazy relievers who try to kill people during the offseason.

as I understand it,

dominoes is serious, serious shit in the DR and Haiti

I've witnessed a dominoes fight

between my Jamaican and Antiguan cricket teammates. Very serious business throughout the Caribbean.

'Oh yes, I know all about that duty-of-a-citizen stuff. It doesn't go. There are exceptions to every rule, and this was one of them. When a man risks his liberty to come and root at a ball-game, you've got to hand it to him. He isn't a crook. He's a fan.'

Shame he didn’t run over a different Minaya…………I kid I kid
But yeah what a moron.
Still we could use someone with a bit of fire in their belly…If he tries to kill someone over dominoes imagine our pitching staff…pure strikes all the time…they’d be too scared to do anything but throw strikes.

It does raise the question

How many people do you have to kill in the Dominican to be denied bail?

Could he be getting preferential treatment b/c he's a ballplayer?

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!
