Around SBN: Nevin Shapiro Vows To Bring Down Miami

More 'sprucing up the Bisons' moves. At least if Omar is focused on that, he can't ruin this team any more than he already has.

Omar accumulating the worst players in baseball

Berroa was the worst everyday player in baseball in 2005 and 2006.

If it allows him to keep guys where they should be and not rush them to AAA

then I’m all for it. When Martinez and Reyes come off the DL, I’m sure either Martinez or Berroa will be released.

I don't have a problem with this deal per se

It’s just funny that a day after two of the worst everyday players in baseball were traded, a former worst everyday player candidate was acquired.

Relax guys

I think I see Omar’s gran plan: trade for/sign guys who once were Rookie of the Year candidates who have fallen on tough times and hope they get back to their rookie form. Next up: Dontrelle Willis trade, followed by putting out a call to Scott Williamson.

Forget that...the immortal Tony Clark is on the market as of this morning.

Even though he is hitting below the Mendoza Line, I’d give him a look. He’s played here before and would be a nice platoon guy and insurance policy for Delgado. He still has some power.

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

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 loops on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a watch.

"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!
