Around SBN: Jeremy Lin's Game-Winner Was Incredible, Worth Remembering

Bring Back Rey Ordonez

Ordonez never wasted his time with selfish things like getting on base and stealing, and he certainly never hurt himself trying to do something stupid like coming back from an injury. And he never smiled. And he wasn't a good dancer. Plus, Rey-Rey always raised his game in September, when he multiplied his homerun totals by inifinity 4 years in a row. Thus begins my campaign for the Mets to cut Jose Reyes and bring back Rey Ordonez.

Rey is Reyes without the "es".

As we all know, “es” is Spanish (God’s most hated language) for “is”, as in, “Jose Reyes is an immature punk who has no respect for the cherished traditions of baseball, such as chewing tobacco, gambling, and massive varieties of drugs.” Thusly, Rey is the perfect candidate to lead our baseball team into the glorious, championship filled future it so deserves.

The best part about this is

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.
