Around SBN: Four TCU Football Players Among 17 Arrested In Drug Ring

...yesterday, [Santana] told reporters he hit the computer in the tunnel by the clubhouse after the first inning, to see what he was doing, then made the necessary adjustments, and got in a groove…

I guess computers do play the game.

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

I wonder

Does he have access to special stuff or did he just load up Gameday?

Special stuff

Players can request dvds to made of say their every AB of the season against righties throwing sliders. I forgot which player used to always have a laptop in his hotel room full of these dvds

Actually

I think he just looked at some of his x- and z-movement charts via PITCHf/x and figured out the rest from there.

ya know

Call me a nervous nellie, but I still worry about his k rate being low and the BBs. Not like that has changed in the last 2 starts from his bad stretch.

I guess I should be thankful for the results. One Pujols flyball into a homer from a “bad” outing.

OK, so i worry.

That's awesome

Next step:

Rename the clubhouse tunnel “Mom’s Basement.”

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.
