Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

Notes from Mets @ Giants 5/15 aka The Search for Brian Wilson's command.

On to game 2.

Star-divide

Honestly going into this game, I was just hoping we didn't get shut out. 

During the National Anthem, some guy was screaming, "FUCK THE METS".  Yes, DURING the National Anthem.

I was talking to my friend about why Juan Uribe.  Apparently this guy gets his own chant.  I wasn't sure why.  So this guy in front of me turns around and goes, "It's pronounced "Oooo-Reh Bay" and his uncle was a Giant."  To which I replied, "Oh, I don't care".  Because I didn't, and I still don't.  This guy also had binoculars to look at EVERYTHING.  He even looked through them at the television screens that were literally five feet above him.  And, his uncle wasn't even a Giant, it was his second cousin.  Big deal.

We were amoung Mets fans once again.  It's funny, whenever you find them and they sit next to you there's a big sigh of relief.  It's almost like you've found your friend at the first day of school.

The game was going as well as I thought it would be.  Tim Lincecum looked the "the freaK" we all know.  Livan looked like....well, a big fatty throwing an Eephus pitch every now and then.

I'm not sure why Omir was starting.  I honestly don't know.  I hope Reyes pinch hitting means that we will see him in the line up tomorrow.  Although, coRRa hasn't been that bad.

I love that we're running more.  I had honestly lost hope, they they took Lincecum and I was eternally happy for that.  The Giants bullpen looks about as bad as ours did at points last year.  Brian Wilson is complete garbage.  Don't take my word for it, just take at least 85% of Giants fans.  Somehow some of them were still cheering him after they took him out.

Not as many people were mean to me.  I think one guy said something, but I couldn't really hear over the sound of his team's bullpen sucking it up.

Small "Let's Go Mets" chant started at one point, but was quickly swallowed whole by Giants fans.

They boo'd Livan every chance they got.

Sean Green looked.....surprisingly alright.

That's all I can think of at the moment.  Club Level seats for Johan tomorrow.  Exciting.

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 loops on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a watch.

"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!
