Congratulations!

You’ve just won the Internet!

The 2010 New York Mets: Maybe it's the Phillies' turn to have 95% of its roster on the DL

The 2009 New England Patriots: At least we got our division title back

The 2009-10 New Jersey Devils: Allergic to second periods

Scarily true?

Darrelle Revis once won a game of Connect Four in three moves.

This is worthy of some sort of award.

Well done, sir.

Well done.

This is your apex.

Sadly, Sam, your life is only downhill from here.

John Olerud, Hall of Famer. Got a nice ring to it.

It's so funny, yet so sad.

Because it is completely true, this is the reality that we have to deal with.

OH My Goodness

I guess you killer off-season has its maraschino cherry with this post. Ironically, this inspiration was drawn by Omar’s horrible roster management, cap-stoning his time with the Mets.

I hope he and Jerry enjoy their last month with the Mets.

Brilliant

There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ

The 2010 Mets- Hey, we may suck, but what did you expect?

One of these the exploits of the Mets

Will go on youtube and blow up going viral. I sense either a cartoon or a 10 min doc by bloggers with slides, facts, and chronological description of Mets bust moves.

wow

If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

How'd you infiltrate the front office!?

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.

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!
