Jerry decides this is the time to give David Wright his long awaited day off. Makes a lot of sense.

Am i the only one who thinks it stupid that they're pitching Dickey on 3 days rest?

Yes it takes less stress to throw a knuckleball, but you were so worried about him being injured on Sunday so you start him on super-short rest?

how could anybody hate that knicks team?

it was one superstar surrounded by nothing but role players that always put up the best fight against an unbeatable jordan. Seriously, Starks, Mason, Oakley, Harper, Rivers, HERB WILLIAMS, Hubert Davis. Charles Smith was probably the 2nd best pure talent on that team and they were so close to a championship in 93 and 94. That team should be revered for over-achieving,

so what are the odds on ike making a rookie of the year push?

probably a lot better now that strasburg is only getting 5/6 more starts this season

Heyward’s been better, but maybe the voters will be swayed if Ike accumulates enough RBI-steaks

I would pick Ike now that Heyward was hurt, he has more HR’s and RBI’s but buster is coming on strong.

Pujols is 5-30 with 4 singles, 4 BB (2 IBB), and he’s ben held hitless in 4 games (only time he hits is in the extra innings games). So I guess I’m kinda right

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.

(click to embiggen)
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!
