Totally Heterosexual Caption Contest

Got a couple of hours to kill before game time and someone just brought this totally awesome SI cover photo to my attention. I'm not sure if I have anything to give away, but this should be fun regardless. Caption it!

Pettite, Rivera and Posada watch the 4th inning of Sunday Night's Mets/Phillies game

while Derek Jeter channels Aura and Mystique for the Yankees next playoff run by watching an episode of Centerstage with Michael Kay. The sound of Kay’s voice saying “See Ya” gives Jeter a two game supply of Aura and a three game supply of Mystique.

laugh at A-Rod as he’s not one of the “core four”, while Jeter looks bemused at the centaur picture.

Derek looks back in stunned disbelief that Aura and Mystique were, in fact, tranny hookers from a sleazy South Bronx strip joint. The others laugh at him mercilessly.

Yankees: Pride, Power, and Pinstripes

But mostly pride.

Gas prices today are a lot like a pitcher's ERA. Anything under 3 is amazing, under 4 is pretty good and anything 5 and up is something you want to avoid.

Interviewer: "So, have you guys had any work done or parts fixed?"

Posada: “Mo used last year’s salary to get a new left knee”
Petitte: “Jorge replaced his worn-out shoulder, and I got myself a better buttock”
Rivera: “And look, the three of us have beautiful new teeth”

Jeter, however, leaves no doubt that he remains as God created him, the ubermensch, and simply smiles in satisfaction with his own imperious omnipotence.

Derek Jeter: On 3.....

Not a caption

but I love the subtle way this is trying to suggest that the return of the Yankees to the top of baseball ISN’T intrinsically tied to the wad of cash they tossed into the free agent waters, but rather their ability to foster farm league talent…during Clinton’s first term.

Or, you know, the fact that Pettitte left for a while there.

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!
