Oh my word

This has made my day. I think a number 15 shirt with Carnal Lobster written on it would be immense. Also, Gary Sheffield’s ones all sound incredibly crude.

I have always had albino concerns about Robinson Cancel, mainly because I don’t think I have ever actually seen him. And how could “Noodle Pacifier” not win for Pedro Dos!?

Most accurate: Wagner, Marlon

Misch is the pithiest and cruellest. It has enough of a ring of truth to be devastating!

Pat Misch= Shit Camp

The name anagram knows more than the front office!

"We're investigating the investigative procedure of the investigation of Tony Bernazard"---Omar Minaya (he really didn't say it but he would"

Perhaps an alternative to Winter Ball

“Don’t know if you are destined to be bullpen filler or a AAAA starter? Come to Pat Misch’s Shit Camp and find out!”

It’s a bit harsh as I don’t have anything against Misch in particular, but that name is just too good.

For Seinfeld fans

Daniel Murphy = Dry Hump Lanie

and album titles:

“Lady, Prune Him!” by Friend to Satan

by deadspy3 on Sep 14, 2009 9:51 AM EDT up reply actions  

This train of thought

gets more bizarre if you imagine the actual Mets personnel involved.

“Lady, Prune Him!” by Friend to Satan – concept album about a Shakespearean eco-warrior by a Latin-tinged blue-collar rock outfit featuring Daniel Murphy and Fernando Tatis (think the Bruce Springsteen feat. Tito Puente).

“Vandal in her Zen” by Albino Concerns must be a salsa album designed as restaurant background music, mainly due to the presence of Livan Hernandez on bongos.

My humble opinion:

I think the album “Razor Shines” by the band Razor Shines would be pretty bitchin’.

Stellar Carbon

As funny as Carnal Lobster is, I prefer “Stellar Carbon” for Beltran because it’s actually true.

Annointed Farts is a DP machine.

Limb Owner's my favorite

It describes him perfectly; there’s absolutely nothing interesting about Emil Brown whatsoever as a ballplayer.

These are fantastic!

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!
