They should definitly shut him down for the year

Looks like his observational period went well.

No ICP or major Neuro defecits.

Just let this guy have his time off as there is no point to playing him now.

Next season we will have his 1000th hit to look forward to. That should be something worth celebrating for one of the classiest players in all of baseball.

Given all we've endured,

I think we deserve to go undefeated. That’d almost make it fair.

I'm kind of thinking of just ending it all.

Just not watching baseball the rest of the year. This season has been the sporting equivalent of being crucified upside down.

I haven't been watching for the last month

It’s done wonders for my mood.

Somehow, a chain of events unfolded that put Steve Phillips in a professional broadcast booth Sunday night so he could rip Carlos Beltran. Try to explain that in any other terms.

Get MLB TV

Watch as many as four games at once that don’t involve Omir Santos and Anderson Hernandez! Follow your fantasy players, various pennant races and west coast teams that you rarely see! Revel in the sensible baserunning and stellar fielding practiced by so many other teams! I can’t recommend it enough.

Is Omar on the DL?

This decision came quick…very unusual for the Mets.

I heard about Wright this afternoon

I had been out of computer/TV/cell phone range all weekend. Honestly, at least this happened this year where we weren’t making the playoffs anyway. God forbid Wright is rushed back for a pennant race and the rest of his career is ruined. It’s not like the Mets have any idea how to handle injuries properly.

And on that note, if Beltran or Wright play another inning this season, the entire front office should be fired.

Hoo-ray!

Now if we can just convince Carlos B. to go laze around until February . . .

Seriously?

Goddamn that’s ridiculous. How is Nick Evans not being promoted? I dont think he’s a future starter or anything but gimme a break, let the kid show he can play. He’s one of maybe 3 players in this organization right now with a lick of power.

I could buy the “it lets him play him every day” crap before, but now he should be playing every day up here.

by twon8 on Aug 16, 2009 9:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

seriously, what has Evans done to deserve the doghouse?

What good does it do us to bring up another journeyman and career minor leaguer? Is Andy Green so much better than Evans, or is Evans so bad, that he doesn’t deserve a shot. We need to be thinking about our future, bringing up Green has no possible purpose, he hasn’t played in a major league game since 2006.

I change my mind

Andy Green was the 2005 PCL MVP!!! Represent, son!

It’s just a shame he was 28 at the time…

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.
