well if you're into science/engineering its a path i'd strongly recommend.

if you’re on the bio side like me, it requires a fair bit of patience though. For every success there are tons of failures, and half the time you’ll have no idea why it didnt work. But when things do go right its a pretty rewarding field. Plus you get to publish in scientific journals and show off to your friends and family which is always nice.

by KeithsMoustache on Aug 27, 2009 3:28 PM EDT up reply actions  

sounds quite cool

what path did you take during college and are there any classes you would recommened to give me a glimpse of how the job feels and far as bio goes im in bio etc. but i’m also a certified phelbotomist

by scubaeric on Aug 27, 2009 3:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

undergrad chemical and biological engineering (the department blends the two together)

the courses that will get you a good feel for what the work is like are lab courses, id recommend a molecular bio based lab and/or an organic chemistry lab. Theyre a bit more of a time commitment than other courses, but if you go into one of these programs they’ll likely be required anyway. If you have the option, look for a professor that lets undergrads do research for them and see if you can do that for some credit, you can usually get elective credits for it. Thats the absolute best way to get hands on experience. Also if you can manage an internship, its great for resume building and learning how industry works (the pay is usually pretty nice too)

and then have him next year
4.48 FIP is better than Ollie, and most of the shit (Redding, Livan) they’ve put out this year. Next year, he could contend for 4/5 spot, and save Wilpons money

Stokes is beneath these 10-3 appearances

but I’m glad he’s here. Still only 1 ER in his last 20+ innings and about 13 scoreless in a row. Beware Orel!

by David G on Aug 27, 2009 3:52 PM EDT reply actions  

now all 8 starters

have 2 hits. Get Elias on that, that can’t have happened in years.

All those "2 for 5" lines in a row look pretty good

but when Omar (or, hopefully, someone else) gets to the task of putting a team together for next year, I hope the supporting cast won’t be so averse to taking walks as what we’ve seen lately.

just need 24 win to get to .500

Yanks claimed Chris Carter on waivers

You read that right. Mets don’t get to look at him till ST now. I’m not crazy him about him but still, arggh

by OlStubbleBeard on Aug 27, 2009 6:41 PM EDT reply actions  

WTF ?

How is that possible. Wasn’t he a PTBNL in the Wagner deal ?.

by fxcarden on Aug 27, 2009 6:45 PM EDT up reply actions  

I guess he still has to go through waivers

I assume Red Sox couldn’t trade him to another team or release him or that would be breach of contract. But still, his chance at Spet with the Mets just went poof.

by OlStubbleBeard on Aug 27, 2009 6:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah,

he was one of the two PTBNL. However, since he was on the 40-men roster, he had to clear the waivers in order to get traded.

by alexSVK on Aug 27, 2009 6:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

yeah, just read it.

Unbelievably jerk move from the Yankees that should not be forgotten quickly. This hurts the Mets (for not being able to take a look at the player), but more importantly it takes yet another little joy from the Mets fans who really have very little to look forward the rest of the season anyway.

by alexSVK on Aug 27, 2009 6:47 PM EDT up reply actions  

well maybe not....

I would think the Mets would be pretty far down the waiver list…like near the end of the NL, so it was entirely possible that many other teams could have claimed him.

The question is…..will the Red Sox pull him back and wait until AFTER the season ?.

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.
