The Amazin' Avenue Fantasy League Drafts On March 25

The Amazin' Avenue Commissioner League at CBSSports.com has finally settled on a format and a draft time. The AACL will be NL-Only in the spirit of our communal hatred for all things American League. The scoring is classic 5x5 rotisserie. For logistical reasons, I decided not to use keepers, although I'm pretty sure dynasty leagues are a regular feature of Commissioner Leagues. 

The draft is Thursday night and I will try to post the results for your criticism soon thereafter. If you want to start your own Commissioner League, follow this link to get at half off through Amazin' Avenue.

I just wanna beat Sam

For originally trying to schedule the draft at a time he knew I couldn’t be there. He’s afraid of me.

I had to vote for the AAOP champ

Who cares how bad the Bay deal will look in 2013, the world is going to end in 2012 anyway

I think I'm gonna win.

I got the second pick, so going by Sam’s big board I’m slated to get Frenchy.

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.
