In order to raise extra capital, the Mets have explored signing Kosuke Fukudome to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training (replete with curiously high uniform number).

More evidence that Ralph Kiner was more awesome before breakfast than most of us are after an entire day of being awesome.

Bud Can't Hear You - Offseason Exploitables!
(Embiggen)

Last spring, this provided some momentary chuckles, so let's try it again, shall we?

Deadspin just reflected on this classic, which reminded me of said previous antics.

Exploitables in the comments. Ready, set, MSPAINTZ!

Cover your eyes folks: Sandy Alderson has departed from his secret underground lair after creating a new monster. Using the leftover scraps of former Mets Roger Cedeno and Ronny Paulino, Sandy pieced together the Mets backup shortstop.

I present to you, in all its hideousness: Ronny Cedeno!

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.
