players don’t seem to care how they look in their file photos. Piazza’s mets photo for the longest time looked like he just huffed some ether. I would want to a) not look stoned b) wear a hat that fits.

Then there is this guy (Adam Jones) from the Orioles.

thats a classic

was he passed out at a party? if so, why did no one draw a penis on his face before taking that picture?

haha

What I don’t understand is that, why on earth would he let Yahoo keep this picture of him and display it? Who did the editing? (Apparently, no one). Surely the guy has looked himself up on Yahoo and seen this picture. Was it taken by MLB? It’s just all so laughable.

Hell, I actually have an example here at work of the same damn thing. Recently, the ‘organization’ has covered an entire wall with a picture of ‘us’ working. There are only about a dozen or so people in the picture hard at work. In the upper right hand corner, guess what’s there for the world to see. A guy in full yawn!

I got so much grief for this picture because people thought it was me in the picture yawning. Hell, when I first saw it, I did a double take. Upon further inspection I could tell it was a co-worker because of the lanyard around his neck that holds his badge. Hell, he even admitted it was him. The point though is; How on earth can a picture, that covers an entire wall, be allowed to go up with a person in full yawn so prominently displayed? Stupid I say.

A few observations

- Have you ever seen Cole Hamels and Derek Zoolander in the same photo? That’s what I thought.

- Jamie Moyer is pretty well-preserved for his age and he STILL looks absurd as a player instead of a coach.

- Joe Blanton once killed a man just to watch him die.

I'm watching it

But, as Henry Kissinger said about the Iran-Iraq war, it’s a pity they both can’t lose.

2009 Mets: maybe its the Phillies turn to have a terrible bullpen?

Introducing Buddy Alderson, Sandy's dog, and the newest member of Puppy Avenue!

Embiggen here.
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.
