It's for the best

he was clearly not the optimal John Maine. Add him not just to the list of injured players, but those who started the season injured and didn’t bring it up until they were sucking. How can anyone not blame Minaya for not backing up those guys?

Jon Niese please. (Holt?)

We need a Mr. Mets status update.

Niese last pitched Sunday; Figgy on Monday

I’m guessing it’s Figgy for his monthly call-up/DFA.

"We have to find a way to play better, there's no doubt. Overall. I'm not pointing fingers at anybody. Offense, defense, pitching -- we have to find a way to play better. The reality of this is, coming here to Pittsburgh and being swept -- personally, I feel embarrassed." -- Carlos Beltran

I can imagine

A big-ass assembly line of Mets waiting for their turn to go on the DL. Kinda like at a carnival or during the Depression.

arm fatigue?

Another example of the Mets medical staff being completely cluesless about anything relating to their own field of work. What a bad DL excuse.

I say forget about fixing the team. FIX THE TRAINING AND MEDICAL STAFF!

So... hold up.

Nieve to start. No call up. NO apparent DLing?

Is he staying or going? Is there anything definitive so far?

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.
