i thought it would be even smaller then that…. what’s the point of even watching games this year with no wright, no wagner, no johan, no putz, no f-mart, no reyes, no beltran, no delgado?

yup

I have been itching to bench him for a few weeks though. I brought up hanson to replace him but should have done it after Johan’s last start. I missed hanson’s last nice outing. And now he faces the Phils in Citizen’s Bandbox.

As a fan very glad it doesn’t seem to be much. But this is the Mets and now i don’t trust their reports at all. They may be pulling a Weekend at Bernies and putting Johan’s corpse out there to drum up some trade interest.

just jumped for joy!

Just know, if there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

In a strange way

I’m a little relieved to know that he was hurt. He was starting to suck pretty bad (by Johan standards) and I’d like to think that he’s not in the middle of a steep decline but was actually just hurt.

So no Tommy John surgery?

Thank god.

Hopefully this will allow Santana to return to form next year…

by Syler on Aug 25, 2009 3:17 PM EDT reply actions  

so santana

with a bad back, coming off knee surgery, and an elbow needing surgery managed to put up a 3.13 ERA.

bad ass motherfucker.

That would be great

We’d get to draft Bryce Harper next year too.

by Balagast on Aug 25, 2009 3:26 PM EDT up reply actions  

As Brian Schneider would say when popping up for the 187th time...

FUCK!!!!

Seriously though, this is beyond ridiculous. I hope not to see Mike Pelfrey get the yips on the mound, avoid balking and break his leg. Or K-Rod’s arm come completely out the socket while pitching that 89 MPH fastball he is famous rich for. “What’s N-X-E-T?”

by bones_boy on Aug 25, 2009 3:45 PM EDT reply actions  

another fireable offense for Manuel and Omar

letting Santana pitch this long in a lost cause with a balky elbow.

by Endys Game on Aug 25, 2009 3:46 PM EDT reply actions  

This season

You know it’s been bad when I consider this good news. I was expecting Tommy John surgery and 2010 being lost. Or, given how this year has gone for the Mets, a rare aggressive elbow cancer that is untreatable, giving Johan 6 months to live.

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.

According to MetsBlog, he is intense

No word on if he means business, though.

great

Who needs talent when you’re overloaded with intensity?

Well

we still don’t know if he means business, so I’d hold back on that enthusiasm for a now.

Christ

So we only have 4 good players, Johan, Wright, Beltran, Reyes.

Beltran sounds like he has some permanent, career-threatening knee problem, talking about some new experimental micro-fracture surgery.

Reyes missed pretty much the entire season with numerous leg problems. And oh yeah, 99% of his value is in his legs.

Johan is having elbow surgery.

Honestly, I have no confidence that any of those three guys is going to be 100% in 2010. All three could miss most of the season, easily.

This is f-ing crazy.

by Mex_17 on Aug 25, 2009 6:02 PM EDT reply actions  

Yeah, like I said.

2012 at the earliest, but the world will end on December 10th.

by fxcarden on Aug 25, 2009 6:04 PM EDT up reply actions  

well dec. 10, 2012 is after the WS

so it could all work out well for us… The mets could have the last pre-apocalyptic world series… we do have a tendency for making history in the worst possible ways.

our ace of the staff is Mike Pelfrey

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.
