Awesome

I just added the “grission” tag to this FanShot, so feel free to use that in the future as the need arises (and I’m sure it will).

Grission and Husart - that is either the non-union Mexican equivelant of "Starsky and Hutch" or the key to winning the World Series.

When I first saw that live,

I read it too quickly and thought it actually read that. Then, I was saddened to realize it was just Marquis Grissom.

Don't look at me

I already bought the Voltron one

*cough* me too

Man, no followers here at AA just leaders/winners

yeah we set the trends

and we’re easy to spot at a ballgame.

I have.

Unfortunately, I got no feedback outside of people I know, who thought it was super cool.

We've got ourselves a ball club, the Mets of New York town!

I don't think so

Just Grissom’s number? If you could somehow get 110% on there (or 120%?) that’d be awesome.

by Eric Simon on May 28, 2009 11:26 AM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah -- 2 digit max

What’s the grission-est number?

by jasondg on May 28, 2009 11:30 AM EDT up reply actions  

That's a great question

What’s the average of Eckstein, Erstad, Rowand, and Santos’s numbers?

by James Kannengieser on May 28, 2009 2:07 PM EDT up reply actions  

don't be crazy

the 9 is for Omir Santos, who is a winning player (according to Ron Darling) and was, I’m told, the first player ever to be excited coming out of the batter’s box after hitting a big home run in the ninth inning off a dominant closer

by JoshNY on May 28, 2009 11:42 AM EDT up reply actions  

He's an "everyday catcher in the majors"

according to the Loudmouths.

On that note, I wonder how many Santos jersey shirts have sold.

by jasondg on May 28, 2009 11:52 AM EDT up reply actions  

God I hate that show

Listening to those knuckleheads is almost as bad as a Steve Phillip+Joe Morgan broadcast. I seriously think the only reason Adam Schein has SNY employment at this time is to make Chris Carlin look reasonable by comparison. Every time he speaks, the only four words I can think of are “wrong,” “no,” “idiot,” and “fail”.

Not "nuggets"?

To be fair, Schein’s a lot better on the Jets than he is on Loudmouths. But he’s annoying as all hell.

by jasondg on May 28, 2009 3:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah I can believe that

He does seem to know football okay, which I’ll be the first to admit that I do not. But baseball, not so much. But usually I just turn off the TV when I see him. Mike Pelfrey will win at least 19 games! STFU.

yes

When Jason Bay hit the HR off of Rivera earlier this season, he just yawned and fell asleep in the batter’s box. That’s because he’s a non-hustly foreigner who made the Pirates suck.

Somehow, a chain of events unfolded that put Steve Phillips in a professional broadcast booth Sunday night so he could rip Carlos Beltran. Try to explain that in any other terms.

I ordered one today!

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!
