Around SBN: Leandro Damiao Is Still Really Good

Omar Minaya: "He just doesn't feel strength in the shoulder area... we are going to pretty much shut him down now for a little while. He'll be rehabbing before he gets on the mound again."

Livan vs. Niese vs. Garcia for the #5 rotation spot.

Parnell

This may cost Parnell a bullpen spot for the time being. I’d think Villone has passed him by with the need for a long man, and with Stokes out of options and O’Day on rule 5 Bobby might now be squeezed. Hopefully Omar can work a deal with the Angels (and to a lesser extent with the O’s) so we might be able to hold on to the rule 5 guys.

No, I hate Villone. I refuse to believe that.

So how much does Livan get for making the team?

Was it a deal like Garcia’s with incentives?

Other ideas for headlines:

“Redding throws name in hat for Jets QB job”
“Redding too hurt to pitch; football OK”
“Redding criticizes Warthen, staff for latest pitching drill”

Seriously, why the heck not. You’re not going to be paying Redding or Garcia very much this year. :)

Hearing the name Omar just makes me feel naseous.

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.
