Awesome

Also, that looks like it is actually Francoeur in that pic, not just his head pasted on there.

Bravo.

Not to nickpick, but I would have put Minaya in place of Beltran, ‘cuz Beltran doesn’t stink, and minaya does.

Minaya

is not in the class of BD WONG, the actor Beltran’s head is pasted over.

Beltran

The metaphor is clearly that all of these stinkers are weighing Beltran down. Or, at least it should be.

OK.

I was going for the stinkers have brought the once mighty Minaya down.

I'm surprised it took this long.

But why isn’t Cory Sullivan one of the stinkers?

Re: Aroldis Chapman

Years of Ollie have made me afraid of high K/high BB pitchers. I want a groundballer, galdarnit.

I was wondering what happened to this comment. Wrong thread.

by TheBigStapler on Sep 23, 2009 9:45 AM EDT up reply actions  

I heard the Red Sox and Yankees are after Chapman - can the Mets compete effectively?

But on a side note, ‘Slappy and the Stinkers’ is freakin’ hilarious. Doesn’t Carlos Beltran look like he’s being subdued by the weight of the crappiness on him?

BTW, let’s not forget that Senor Slappy is T-12th in the MLB in OBP (.401) – he is surrounded by some pretty elite company!

Stupid crappy table formatting – this site doesn’t provide a table option! That would make my “job” a whole lot easier…

"Slappy" has a pitiful SLG %, though

.360 would easily put him in last, amongst the 20 players listed!

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.
