According to Popper and Costa...

An unnamed player told them he was told Sheffield was released.

Hmmm..

Oh, it gets better...

Now, Sheffield apparently asked for an extension, which the Mets turned down. “Now at standoff,” says Lennon.

I liked the big NY

Its just that its an old school Giants uniform. I get the history behind the Mets. I just think that we have enough tributes to the old National League teams. Lets go back to the Mets traditional uniform. Pinstripes with the script Mets logo, no black shadow, blue hat. The away uniforms can either be the old 86 jersey without the racing stripes or our current away uniform with a blue hat.

I'm serious.

Moving Wagner is going to be a huge mistake by the Mets.

Putz and Wags combined = 16 or 17 million.

BB-Rod by himself = 12 million.

so for 4 million you have 2 guys with closing experience who can probably share the burden, whereas if BB-Rod is still here, he’ll be a prima donna and want to close every game.

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 loops on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a watch. "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. (click to embiggen)

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!
