Around SBN: Four TCU Football Players Among 17 Arrested In Drug Ring

Alex Cora does have something over Felipe Lopez....

 

Talent..... defense.....offense....the ability to not suck

We've been blatant about how terrible Cora is this offseason, and I'm beginning to think it's unfair

Alex Cora may have some significant short comings, but he's gritty, tough, chock full of heart and a winner, unlike that smiling loser Jose Reyes.

However he does hold something else over Lopez...something significant....and that is the ability to transform into....

SUPER SAIYAN CORA!!!!!

Take that Felipe!

He's also got a better paycheck, and a ridiculous vesting option

Incidentally, that's a nice vest he's got there...

doesn't he need a number of at-bats that he couldn't stay healthy enough to accumulate last year?

and even if there were another spate of injuries, i don’t think his vesting option is likely to rear its head due to the likelihood of ineffective play requiring his replacement.

On his property, Mr. Frazier has created a number of places to unwind — or as he said, "just chill."

i know that cora getting a contract of any kind let alone 2 mil guaranteed is absurd

but so much hand-wringing over the 25th man seems unnecessary.

i think i’m just ready for the games to start

It's 80 starts, so it's fairly unlikely

Saiyan was a race of people in Dragon Ball Z (a popular anime show back in the 90s)

Super Saiyan was the ability of these saiyans to grow super powerful for a time, while having their hair turn yellow, tall and spikey, and having a yellow aura develop around them.

Yes, I know I’m a nerd, but I figured it’d be fun to do this, since we all know that Cora in reality sucks horse manure

Was DBZ really that long ago?

Where does the time go…?

Thats what I'm wondering

I’m only 20 and I know all about DBZ.

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

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.
