Omir emulated his hero,

Ted Williams, when Jerry wanted to pull him after his third inning single pushed his OBP to .2995, and stayed in the game until his ninth inning walk brought him to an even .300.

omir is my hero

i didn’t even think OBP went as high as 300. We’ve reached the promised land guys…

Now the Mets will claim

That Omir is an everyday catcher and won’t bother upgrading.

Here’s looking at Santos / Cancel in 2010.

No, you are too optimistic

Santos and Raul Casanova/Sandy Alomar Jr, anyone?

Get Jerry a chest protector.

And let Stokes crank one up and use him as a target.

And give Church a shot, too.

Make it a carnival game

Dunk Jerry!

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.

Not to beat a dead horse, but that was f*cking great

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

I fell like a proud papa!!

I am wearing my Omir Santos Ride the Lighting t shirt with honor today.

Jeff is going to step it up a notch

he won’t take pitches still, but he’ll try to foul more balls off, hoping that eventually the pitcher hits him.

by David G on Aug 20, 2009 11:26 AM EDT reply actions  

I'm going to laugh

because I’m done crying about the Mets.

Add in a 1 for 1 tonight.

On-Base Omir is reaching for the stars.

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.

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!
