Ready your sarcasm detectors.

Fromt he article:

" Crazy, you think? I think it’s as real as it can get. His had hip surgery. The same surgery as Chase Utley and Alex Rodriguez and Mike Lowell. This injury, when fixed is fixed, period. "

1) The minute he signs, the other hip will go. Why ?. Because it’s the Mets, and he has 2 hips.

2) The injury is permanently fixed when anyone but a Mets’ doctor performs the surgery.

NIck Johnson is our best option in my opinion

But I’d take Delgado on a one year 5-7 million dollar deal over all the other options. I don’t want nothing to do with Adam Laroche.

Oh god No

I hope they try to trade for some one like Adam Dunn who can play left and 1st walks a lot and hits 40 bombs a season

I don't want Dunn

He can play left and first, but he plays them terribly. The 40 bombs and OBP are nice, very nice, but his defense almost negates it and makes him an average player, less valuable than Nick Johnson

No. Please.

I don’t want Nick Johnson either. If we’re going to have a 1B on the DL most of the year, we might as well bring Delgado back.

Most teams have at least 3 first baseman rotting on their bench and AAA affiliate. It’s the positional dumping ground for hitters.

I’m fine with having a “replacement level” 1B in 2010, since we could pay that player minimum wage, and use the money saved to pay players at skill positions.

Especially this off-season, when there aren’t any attractive FA 1B out there anyway.

Johnson is the definition of unattractive.

Which teams have 3 mlb caliber

starting first basemen rotting on the bench or in AAA. I’d like to make a trade with those guys. If you don’t want Delgado or Johnson because of health concerns, you’d prefer a “replacement level,” that is to say, a replacement level first basemen in 2010. So you’d prefer to have, let’s say, Daniel Murphy for 162 games rather than Nick Johnson, who’d probably cost $5 million, $6 million tops, for 100 games and Daniel Murphy for 62. I wish you were the GM!

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.
