I love

playing Right-handed pitchers. We actually put up a formidable lineup!

"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

Why is it that they’re willing to excuse Huff by simply saying that he’s not a good fielder, but for Roberts (also not a great fielder) it has to become a character issue with Keith saying he looked like he didn’t really want to go get the ball?

I was being fascetious

he’s pitching in front of basically no defense (2d baseman Mike Lamb?!) and, from what Meddler and others have posted here, his peripherals have been very good. Our problem is that we’re assuming Omar/the front office will see “1-6 with a 6.31 ERA” and assume he’s just a terrible pitcher.

grounder that had eyes (and luis castillo has negative range) was the first run, and that ball is a flyout in most parks

Not sure he’s gonna be a superstar or power bat (he should probably move to CF in 2 yrs) but he’s shown the ability to hit the ball the other way, play a good OF and can be a gap hitter.

I would love to know the reasoning behind hitting for F! there. There is NO reason. Tatis has lost what little power he showed last year. Martinez is tough to double up, unlike Tatis (as seen there). NOT TO MENTION…F! had a nice level swing that resulted in a double earlier in this very game.
Send F! to AAA, he doesn’t deserve this crap.

Is why I hate our rotation at the moment. Santana, Pelf, REDDING, Livan, Nieve/Maine. We don’t have our best three available for three straight games. It just plain sucks. It makes it very dificult to sweep ANYTHING.

I'ts just immensely frustrating

They can’t seem to get on the same page. If they score they don’t pitch well. When they pitch well they don’t score. Now the bullpen guys are taking turns being lousy. They get nothing from the bench. I know they are hurt, etc. but this team looks incapable of going on any sort of run at all.

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.
