Around SBN: 2012 Budweiser Shootout Entry List Released

Congratulations Dillon Gee on a great start...

And for that, I present--bumped from the game recap with minor changes by me--"Dillon Gee" (to the tune of Let It Be). 

 

When Johan’s arm’s in a world of trouble
Even Jerry must agree
Who’s left in the system? Dillon Gee.
When Pelf and Misch have played and stumbled
And gave up runs in an endless spree
Who can stop the bleeding? Dillon Gee.
Dillon Gee, Dillon Gee, Dillon Gee, Dillon Gee.
Just one game and our fifth starter: Dillon Gee.

And when there’s no point to the season
Except blowouts that will bring Ollie,
Who comes to the rescue? Dillon Gee. 
For though the FO is dumb as doorknobs
Still a chance that they will see
You might want to play some Bisons, like Dillon Gee.
Dillon Gee, Dillon Gee. Yeah
Finally some freaking good news, Dillon Gee.

And when you almost got your no no,
But for that third rate hack Willie,
You’ll get one against the Pirates, Dillon Gee.
That is if the Manuel, king of excuses
Doesn’t start Takahashi
There would be rebellion, Dillon Gee.
Dillon Gee, Dillon Gee.
Welcome to the rotation, Dillon Gee.
Dillon Gee, Dillon Gee
Please ignore Dan Warthen, Dillon Geeeeee…

I love this guy already...

He looks and acts like he should be assistant manager of a Chili’s in Abilene. The “I blacked out” quote is priceless.

Also the....

“Nah, that was just a bad curveball” line. Fantastic for a guy to say things like that.

see, why I've been 100% behind Gee?

and should be considered at least top 20 in this farm system? hopefully he will continue to do well.

I think he's going to have a few horrible outings,

but he’s got enough stuff to stick with the Mets. Since the FO believes in small samples I hope he keeps pitching well and stakes a claim on next year’s staff.

Ugh Mr. Straw....

First your hot girlfriend, then your lie about having hot girls in your D&D group (clearly untrue in this universe), and now your continuing presence as the voice of reason. Gee will win the Cy Young next year, as well as ROY, the Roberto Clemente Award, the Gold Glove, the Heisman, the Guy LaFleur Trophy for best 3-letter names starting with G, and the AVN award for best male actor. This I know from one start, and this you cannot argue with.

haha! I know, right! hot girls in D&D...girls AT ALL in D&D

though I do think Gee will put up a few stinkers, ALL pitchers do…

Hey, I have a hot girlfriend who plays D&D

Amen, brother.

I remember one in particular, hot as all get out, who got up on the playtable on her hands and knees in order to press her sweet ripe face close to the board and scrutinize the hex grid thoroughly and oh so slowly. She knew exactly the effect she was having on her audience, about fifteen of us that particular and memorable night. At least twelve of us didn’t mind in the least. It was a truly awesome… display.

Where did you go again?

I might want to get another degree. I’m guessing RISD, but that’s just a shot in the dark.

by MookieTheCat on Sep 12, 2010 11:02 PM EDT up reply actions  

Ok, seriously MTC

Where do you get the time?
And Rec.

Ryan Miller was the true MVP.
I really hate Jerry.

by Jsz on Sep 8, 2010 4:09 PM EDT reply actions  

I really think that

five or six people sitting near each other could turn the “Dillon Gee, Dillon Gee, Dillon Gee, Dillon Gee” bit into a real chant at Citi. Maybe even plus “please ignore Dan Warthen”, which would be very pleasing.

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!
