...pretty good...

… i stopped reading metsblog a long time ago… but i sense that this is funny… and it’s hilarious that of all the mets bloggers sny picked this guy to represent to mets blogosphere… cerrone is not at all representative… it’s funny though… he seems to think his job is to give the “sense” of mets fandom… which one can get from listening to Sports Radio 66… anyway… cerrone really sets back what could be a cause… a movement… the voice of the intelligent fan having an influence on the decision-making of the team… instead of hucksters like steve phillips and omar minaya…

Agreed.

SNY’s choosing Cerrone really was a bad move. They could’ve set up some really entertaining contrasts by looking for a saber-smart blogger who could complement and/or disagree with the traditionalist voices, of which they already have so many, but instead they went with the inarticulate folksiness of a fake man-of-the-people.

I like how you say fake man-of-the-people

Because in this MS Paint exercise, I wanted point out how disingenuous he is.

So why did he shut down the comments on his blog?

Short answer:

the comments section there was an abortion.

Long answer: he made some post about a few people getting off-topic and ruining the comments so now he would allow the comments section to be open to a few “trusted” readers and commenters.

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!
