I answered some questions for The Nats Blog. You know, if you don't get enough of my soapboxing here.

Good stuff

But Piazza hit the homer off Karsay not Marquis, IIRC.

Good call

Had a brain fart on that one.

The box stuff is cheaper

Much better deal for poor student folk.

Oh, I think I'm confused

I was talking about laundry soap, not hand/bath soap.

Regular soap still does, yeah.

Wha?

“Whatever star points Perez earned with his NLCS performance in 2000 were wiped out when he didn’t hustle around third—and was thrown out at home as a result—in Game 1 of the World Series that year.”

Making a subjective value judgement based on one play’s worth of “hustle”? I missed the memo about that.

Beltran’s non-slide into home plate is not happy at this sudden turn of events.

I don't know what happened

Small sample size anomaly, I think.

That must be why he went to Dr. Gallea. He needed a grission transfusion.

why can’t he play with it. It seems like th etype of thing people live with all the time and don’t even know, so why does he have to stop baseball activities. he should be allowed to at least take BP

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 loops on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a watch.

"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.

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!
