Around SBN: The Gift Of The 2003 Tigers

Emil Brown, who was involved in two of the Met's five double plays, DFA'd instead so F-Mart can stay.

It was disgusting that he played today over F!

you and me both

It is pathetic that Manuel goes to his “gut” and benches every left handed bat against a left handed pitcher. He fails to realize that maybe having that left handed bat would make the pitcher throw different stuff, take a different approach and possibly be more apt to making a mistake. F! is supposed to be an every day player, so he has to play against lefties.

"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

Yeah this is the second time this has happened

If it happens more than once a week, Jerry should be fired. As it is, he should be put on warning by Omar, who loves Fernando like no other.

yeah

all of us can see from our computers that emil brown sucks but because jerry wants to get him some at bats we had to see him hit into two dp.

Why did Brown hit 2nd last night?

F! should play every day (like you guys have pointed out already)

Also, why does Jerry hate Church so much??! It’s getting to the point that it doesn’t even make sense that he is on the team anymore. I kind of feel bad for him in a way. He’s in a lose-lose situation.

Jerry makes it so obvious with the guys that he doesn't prefer

Church, Castro, Stokes…I’d rather them just go the way of Castro and get SOMETHING for them. It’s better than seeing them once a week. I’m sure there are a lot of teams that would kill for Stokes.

Better yet, get rid of the moronic Manager and get someone who knows how to manage a roster.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.

I don’t think the Mets got SOMETHING for Castro, I’d hate to see the same thing happen with Stokes and Church…if it comes down to trading decent players who the manager takes a dislking to or changing managers I know what gets my vote.

Poach the Nationals for theirs.

I'm pretty sure the Rays wouldn't mind him back.

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!
