I wouldn't

be unhappy picking up bradley for LF if we picked up half of his contract maybe the Cubs would be happy with marginal prospects or pen arms. But i don’t see the Wilpons doing that.

MILTON BRADLEY!!!!

If you think Sheffy is a malcontent just wait until this guy brings his circus to NY. He is a cancer. He was hated in LA where 90% of the people at the game don’t know that Garvey and Cey retired. That would be the ultimate Omar Fail

it's a strech to call him

a psychopath. Clearly dude has issues but he’s not out there..

I wouldn't say psycho

but dude definitely has some serious anger management issues. I don’t think he could hack it in NYC. Either the media or the fans would drive him to kill someone.

Alrighty then
A psychopathic LF

Who cares

who plays terrible defense

Career 6.6 UZR/150 in the outfield
and can’t hit on the road

.15 OPS points better at home for his career, which is less than the average spread
No thank you

Yes please

Smoltz.

Why not?

At this point, they might as well sign Michael Vick and Ted Kennedy too.

Milton Bradley? WHY THE FUCK NOT?

We have

Sheffield and that worked OK, if the Cubs are giving him away he’s better than anything we’re running out on the corners right now.

ugh

no way

comments like viva posted above is why exhibit a on why stats dont always tell the whole story

Why are they not going after Murton?

He’s available now. Just retarded to not add him.

Regarding Bradley, not sure why he sucked so much this year. I had him on my fantasy team last year and he just dominated in slg. and OBP, but it was also Texas. He’s an excellent hitter, I think this an off year for him and he’d perform better next year. But not worth 10 mil and the aggravation when we could have Murton for like nothing.

I think you answered your own question.

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!
