who are these “Mets” you people keep talking about?

Go Figgy! I promise to look at your line tomorrow, probably next to a picture of a cat getting a bath and looking pissed about it.

Thole in the lineup

I want GKR to do this once before the year ends...

Keith: That’s all we got, one goddamn hit?
Gary: You can’t say goddamn on the air.
Ron: Don’t worry, nobody is listening anyway.

this, of course, being part of the “Major League” script.

LOL

Boring, is probably not the word I used to describe games this season. Frustrating, comical, brutal – never boring though. Never know what you’ll see. Triple play to end the game, dropped pop up to end the game, guys passing each other on the base paths, etc…

Almost the first at bat

now he does it. HR for Daniel. Nice hitting.

I guess I’m the only one dumb enough to stay up and watch this, huh? LOL.

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!
