Still think we need one more move before we can realisticly think about catching Philly.

I’d like to see about grabbing Johnson out of Washington. This would allow Manuel to platoon Murph at third and give Wright a day off in the second half when he needs it.

by Chickendirt on Jul 12, 2009 2:25 PM EDT up reply actions  

I still want Rios, but I doubt it happens with the Francoeur trade.

I really think Delgado will be back soon enough that Omar has to look for an upgrade to the OF.

I figure Delgado done for the year. He may come back in August be he’s not going to be as effective. Gonna take him at least two weeks minimum to get back to speed.

i would rather go after LaRoche .The last thing we need is another person on the DL

by Jadden Hopkins on Jul 12, 2009 2:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

I wonder if you can limit his injuries by giving him every 5th or 6th day off.

Murph looks good at first and is a natural third basemen. Maybe it’s a stretch but I’d love to see what this lineup is like having Johnson hit behind Wright or Beltran when he gets back.

thanks...

I turned on the game later. So is it set that Livan gets start against the Braves, or is there a possibility that he gets pushed later against the Nationals – against which he’s been great so far. I mean, the Mets have potentially 6-7 starters they can use for the Braves/Nationals series after AS. They can pretty much tailor the rotation against opponents.

Phew

OK. We’ve played pretty well the last couple of days, and now the All-Star break is finally 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.
