Another nice use of the chat FanShot

Though apparently its list formatting leaves something to be desired.

Yeah

it pretty much sucks. I even tried putting two paragraphs between each name and it didn’t do anything either.

"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

Can I have "annoying look-at-me post titles" for $100, Alex?

You couldn’t have called this “Tonight’s Lineup” or something with actual content?

I went with the title

as more of a joke, due to the fact that we have been complaining that Beltran and Wright should be hitting back to back for weeks now. Therefore it is “big” and “breaking” news.

If I knew how to

it most certainly would have

Yeah, I was always curious as to how to use the .gif’s.

I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!

we lost today

therefore we will never seen beltran and wright back to back again. manuel’s gut will tell him it confused castillo.

And Sheff hit a homerun.

That = 3 more weeks hitting in front of David.

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!
