Tim Marchman On Ron Washington

The best take I've encountered on the Ron Washington cocaine "scandal". Off-topic but it's a big story right now.

Yeah that's a good take.

My first reaction upon hearing the news was: “They drug test managers?”

Watching Jerry, I've often thought it would be a good idea

I can see alot of his antics being the result of being coked out.

His attack on the Chuch, and his constant need to be doing something (causing him to sac bunt all the time) are really telltale signs.

Maybe the sign for sacrifice is scratching the nose?

And it just leads to a lot of confusion.

They drug test managers because it'd be a sh(tstorm if a manager killed someone while high

Same here.

It's a scandal

because ESPN needs some baseball filler with no real steroid controversy for the first spring in 2 or 3 years.

this is why i can't take watching espn anymore

I can barely tolerate listening to their broadcasters during games.

I only like the games Rick Sutcliffe does

Occasional awkward Erin Andrews comment aside, I think he’s a great broadcaster. He gives great pitching insight.

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.

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.

Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
