Around SBN: NHL Trade Rumors: Do You Make A Move For Rick Nash?

2010 Predictions Game

I'm aware that there's already a 2010 predictions FanPost, but this is another idea that I just came up with.

It's a little game, where all you have to do is fill in the blanks with one player or team or coach or whatever that you think will be correct.

Example: In 2009 I hit over 40 HR.

Mark Reynolds, Albert Pujols, and others would all be acceptable responses and would have gotten you full points. If no one does the selected thing (if no one hit 40 HR last year in my example) then no one gets a point for that. Take a guess for everything, even if you don't think it will happen.

Winner is the person who gets the most correct selections. In the event of a tie, whoever comes closest to the correct answer for the bonus question without going over will be the winner.

Without further ado, let's start. Please fill in all 50 questions.

Introducing Buddy Alderson, Sandy's dog, and the newest member of Puppy Avenue!

Embiggen here.
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.
