There you go

it is true that you can prove anything with statistics. We should all go back to evaluating player talent with things like our eyes and look for guys with intangibles like the ability to grow a hefty lumberjack beard like Casey Blake of ZZ Top

Oh please.

People can come up with statistics to prove anything, Kent. Forty percent of all people know that.

DL

KeithsMoustache noticed that in 2005 – 2006, there was a drop in DL stints. Chris Woodward is the only player on those teams not on the roster other years. Obviously, he kept everyone healthy, and now that he’s not on the Mets, they’ve been cursed.

Man...

Now that’s freaky, mnbv.

It’s like the Curse of Woodward. He was like ‘Get rid of me, will ya?’ I put a voodoo curse on your heads, mon!

Jeez, everyone's got a curse these days.

It’s one thing when it’s just Babe Ruth and Bobby Layne. But when Woodward and Curt Leskanic get their own curses, it’s gone too far. Who’s next, Steve Bieser?

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.
