Great Picture Caption

Looking forward to more of those recaps in that style as the season winds down.

I hope Maine has back up career plans

cause this pitching thing doesn’t seem to be working for him

I didn't see the game

But from looking at the boxscore, this Brain Socks guy had a nice two innings

They got him from Japan - didn't you hear about it!?

He played with the Chiba Lotte Marines (2006-2009), before he decided to void his contract prematurely for the remainder of 2009 (what was left of said contract), citing irreconcilable differences. Reportedly likes yakyuu and sushi.

Google cache search

It took me forever to find his player page, as it had been removed from the site, but looking long and hard on the Google page cache search recovered said player page (finally, after 20 or so min.)

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.
