Phillies sign Pedro

Link en espanol...

Does this mean they are not after Halladay? If so, I don't even mind it. It's going to be a little awkward though.

I love Pedro, but hopefully the Phillies get a dose of what we recieved toward the end of his contract.

but if it’s true, this will break my heart. I love Pedro and though I don’t think he fits on the Mets anymore, I wanted to keep those memories pure. He has signed with the enemy. This is worse than Glavine going back to the Braves for me.

Their loss.

This probably means no Halladay, and I don’t think Pedro has much more to offer right now than someone like Livan.

I hope that's wrong

I hate to see Pedro wearing such a philthy uni.

Cui gives a shit.

May the Mets crush Pedro and the Fillies during the three innings he pitches against them this season!

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

With the Mets luck this season

Pedro will probably go 10-1 for the rest of the year.

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.

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!
