well you know....when I was over there I never insulted anybody or anything like that

but I did critizice the Mets mercilessly.

I, along with others, argued with a lot of cheerleaders, and it seemed pretty clear that someone on the Mets was reading the stuff and told Cerrone to clamp down. Since he gets paid by SNY, I suppose he had no choice.

Since then, that site has become barely readable. Sure, they have updates, and breaking news, but the comments people make on there are beyond stupid sometimes.

OT question (some stupid).

Since I’ve only been around 2 months or so….

Does AA have game threads for the post season games ?.

In the off-season, is there a never ending barrage of stats composed of acronyms and fractional numbers for each and every player ?.

Does AA do anything special for things like the winter meetings, etc ?.

Just trying to find a home for the winter months…..

Oh, and yes, I am considering an appearance at ST next year, if only to have my wife smack Reyes upside the head (she met him last time we went).

Never

watched it, but heard tons similar to 30 Rock

Breaking Bad is good also

It was great

but small sample size, not enough episodes. 30 Rock is on its way to being one of the best imo, up there with Cheers and Seinfeld.

by MetsKnicksRutgers on Aug 25, 2009 7:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

Idea

Why not let free agent compensation work this way:

Player signs with other team in top 40% of player income bracket:

1st round Supplementary pick.

Top 20%: income bracket: accepts other team’s 1st rounder and supplementary pick

Top 5%: Accepts signing team’s 1st and second rounders and supplementary pick.

Bottom 60%: second round supplementary pick.

That would allow the signing team to set the value and give up what they feel would be worth the player, at a cost to nobody.

by fxcarden on Aug 25, 2009 7:29 PM EDT up reply actions  

Um

Anyone can set the price dude. The whole point is changing how draft compensation works for free agency so the Mets (now Sox) don’t have to crap their pants hoping Billy Wagner doesn’t accept arbitration. If Billy refuses and takes a job for $5M, the Sox don’t give up anything substantial. Why would this not work.

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.
