Woody in left

Endy sits against the lefty; still no Floyd.

I've seen better ways to start off a game...

by peeder on Jun 16, 2006 7:15 PM EDT reply actions

All's well that ends well

42. Jim Duquette says he wouldn't trade Lastings Milledge.

by peeder on Jun 16, 2006 7:21 PM EDT up reply actions

orioles need dookie

batting in the 2-spot.

oh wait, they already have two catchers.

Pedro offers you his protection.

by pj on Jun 16, 2006 7:22 PM EDT up reply actions

And good thing they do

Ra. Hernandez just got tossed in the 3rd.

by peeder on Jun 16, 2006 8:05 PM EDT up reply actions

That 2nd strike did look high

but you'd think a catcher in particular would be careful not to get bent out of shape with the ump on balls and strikes.

"The Mets with the bases loaded: Chavez, great speed, Reyes, great speed, Lo Duca, good guy."

These guys

stink.... They can't even score in the first inning.

by udamnwright on Jun 16, 2006 7:27 PM EDT reply actions

377.

Rudy Guiliani doesn't have a lisp, Lastings Milledge took away his 'S' priviledges for cheering on the Yankees.

by peeder on Jun 16, 2006 7:31 PM EDT reply actions

Someone please

explain to me how Lo Duca can't throw someone out on a pitchout.

67.

Alay Soler defected to America so he can play with Lastings Milledge.

by thekid on Jun 16, 2006 7:36 PM EDT reply actions

What's the word for what Leo Mazzone is?

I'll go with "seething".

And, another succesful stache-rifice.

"The Mets with the bases loaded: Chavez, great speed, Reyes, great speed, Lo Duca, good guy."

by Mr. Met on Jun 16, 2006 7:44 PM EDT reply actions

Anyone know if they whooped it up when the Mets

took the field?

by peeder on Jun 16, 2006 7:51 PM EDT reply actions

That first run

On Soler for putting it up in the zone, Milledge for not cutting it off better, and man, Valentin is back in Stone Hands mode.

What did

Valentine do? It was Delgado that dropped the throw on a easy out for the man that scored.

by udamnwright on Jun 16, 2006 7:58 PM EDT reply actions

Sorry

Thought it was Valentin. My bad.

Let's try to avoid the big inning here

Soler's running hot and cold here in his first starts.

by peeder on Jun 16, 2006 7:59 PM EDT reply actions

Yep. Hot on the road, cold at home.

"The Mets with the bases loaded: Chavez, great speed, Reyes, great speed, Lo Duca, good guy."

by Mr. Met on Jun 16, 2006 8:01 PM EDT up reply actions

And he has to learn how to hold the runner still

by peeder on Jun 16, 2006 8:01 PM EDT up reply actions

Soler has to

keep the ball down. Both of these hits were up in the zone.

That's something it strikes me Peterson is good at

getting his guys to do...if you think about it, Mets pitchers rarely miss up in the zone after he does his thing with them.

He fixed Julio for instance.

by peeder on Jun 16, 2006 8:06 PM EDT up reply actions

I'm sensing a certain wariness, like we're

getting ready for an inevitable let-down after that phenominal, out of this world road trip.

A loss, even two, would be warranted, just from a natural human inability to perform at that high a level for that long a time.

But I say, fvck that. We're gonna rally. We got momentum thanks to Ramon Hernandez.

It may take someone like Chris Woodward or someone off the bench to come up with a key hit tonight, but I have faith.

That is all.

"The Mets with the bases loaded: Chavez, great speed, Reyes, great speed, Lo Duca, good guy."

by Mr. Met on Jun 16, 2006 8:22 PM EDT reply actions

Great

pitch by Bedard to K Beltran.

"I got my pregnant wife (the Yankee fan) with me. Hoping my kid learns to kick her everytime the Mets score." -Schifftis-

Man

the kid is dealing.

by future on Jun 16, 2006 8:28 PM EDT reply actions

OK, I'm here, and it looks like just

in the nick of time. Time for the Mets to get some hits off this guy and score more runs. Go Stache!

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 8:36 PM EDT reply actions

What'd I tell ya? Bedard had that

scared rabbit look in his eye. I knew Stache was going to get a hit.

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 8:39 PM EDT up reply actions

Stache

with a ridiculous lead at first base. Willie Mays Hayes-esque.

"I got my pregnant wife (the Yankee fan) with me. Hoping my kid learns to kick her everytime the Mets score." -Schifftis-

by future on Jun 16, 2006 8:38 PM EDT reply actions

OK, now Lastings, time for you to

step up and drive in a run. Two would be even better.

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 8:40 PM EDT reply actions

But don't try to do too much, kid

Make sure you at least make contact and move the runners over.

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 8:41 PM EDT up reply actions

Milledge better get 2 strikes here

before he swings...unless he's up to bunt. The guy just walked Woddy on 4 pitches...lost control.

by peeder on Jun 16, 2006 8:40 PM EDT reply actions

Awful AB

He might not be listening to the 3rd base coach.

by peeder on Jun 16, 2006 8:43 PM EDT up reply actions

OK, Jose, c'mon dude, don't let this guy

beat you. Drive in those runs.

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 8:45 PM EDT reply actions

Lets go

Jose you can do it.

by udamnwright on Jun 16, 2006 8:47 PM EDT reply actions

Say Yay Jose!

by peeder on Jun 16, 2006 8:48 PM EDT reply actions

I think the point of that was to shake up

the Orioles some more. No need to steal 3B with two out.

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 8:49 PM EDT reply actions

The guy's having control problems

you might be able to get home on a wild pitch.

by peeder on Jun 16, 2006 8:50 PM EDT up reply actions

Yeah, that too. n/t

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 8:51 PM EDT up reply actions

At least that got the job done,

and nobody got hurt.

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 8:54 PM EDT reply actions

Devil Rays beating up on the Phillies;

Nats leading the Yankees.

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 8:57 PM EDT reply actions

Bosox

leading the Braves also.

by udamnwright on Jun 16, 2006 9:00 PM EDT reply actions

C'mon Mets, work this guy some more

get some more hits and knock him out of the game.

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 9:01 PM EDT reply actions

That's the way, D-Dub! Let's see a

2-out rally! The Mets are good at that. C'mon, boy!

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 9:03 PM EDT reply actions

Er, "boys" not "boy"

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 9:04 PM EDT up reply actions

Quality start for Soler

And leaving with the lead...can't ask for much more.

by peeder on Jun 16, 2006 9:08 PM EDT reply actions

Agree. Now, Heilman, throw a strike.

Oops. Too late. Sheesh.

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 9:13 PM EDT up reply actions

Heilman becoming a basket case quick here

They're fiddling with his mechanics again.

by peeder on Jun 16, 2006 9:13 PM EDT reply actions

Heilman, just get out of this with no more damage

and the team will pick you up.

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 9:21 PM EDT reply actions

Come on

Aaron, what the heck is wrong with you?

"I got my pregnant wife (the Yankee fan) with me. Hoping my kid learns to kick her everytime the Mets score." -Schifftis-

Well, now we have to play catch up

But I know the Mets can do it. C'mon Woody. Get on base.

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 9:26 PM EDT reply actions

Endy, start a 2-out rally!

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 9:28 PM EDT reply actions

Guess everyone is over at Metsgeek, eh?

I prefer game chatter here. Anyway, OK, Bell got out of that jam. Now I want to see some more runs. The lead is not insurmountable by any means. Let's go Mets!

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 9:41 PM EDT reply actions

Not much to talk about in this contest

Heilman melted down.

I've invtied the MetsGeek people over, but I think they like to not have to log in. Sometimes we have more comments, other times they do. No big deal.

by peeder on Jun 16, 2006 9:46 PM EDT up reply actions

Yeah, no big deal.

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 9:48 PM EDT up reply actions

Nice

job JOse. Yeah MetsGeek is fun its rip AH time and make fun of Heath Bell time.

by udamnwright on Jun 16, 2006 9:45 PM EDT reply actions

Lead off double! OK, more hits, more runs!

Let's go Beltran.

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 9:45 PM EDT reply actions

C'mon, you must score Reyes.

You must not waste a leadoff double.

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 9:49 PM EDT reply actions

yuck

just back from dinner.

good start by soler. heilman blows it.

Pedro offers you his protection.

by pj on Jun 16, 2006 9:57 PM EDT reply actions

can't win em all

but we do win a lot of them.

marlins are the only ones gaining ground.

Pedro offers you his protection.

by pj on Jun 16, 2006 10:00 PM EDT reply actions

Yeah, can't win 'em all. Still in 1st place

by a comfy margin. We'll get 'em tomorrow.

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 10:03 PM EDT up reply actions

Yeah, Heilman really needs to turn it around,

whatever's wrong with his mechanics. That meltdown seemed to take all the wind out of the Mets' sails.

by BlueYonder on Jun 16, 2006 10:01 PM EDT reply actions

Heils' ERA now 4.86.

With a bullet.

"The Mets with the bases loaded: Chavez, great speed, Reyes, great speed, Lo Duca, good guy."

by Mr. Met on Jun 16, 2006 10:11 PM EDT up reply actions

It is

getting ugly for him. He is almost always good for a walk and a bomb anymore.

by udamnwright on Jun 16, 2006 10:13 PM EDT up reply actions

In Heils' defense, I don't know if Delgado

could have made a play at home without the bobble, but we'll never know I guess, and then Reyes was oh so close to that little bloop before Mora's homer, which would have kept the game tied, so he pitched into bad luck a little bit. No doubt the two walks to open the inning were his fault.

"The Mets with the bases loaded: Chavez, great speed, Reyes, great speed, Lo Duca, good guy."

by Mr. Met on Jun 16, 2006 11:37 PM EDT up reply actions

Start a Streak Tomorrow

Ok, we can't win 'em all. Phils lost, too. Glad they can be true to a streak.

Tomorrow Pedro's gonna get the Mets back on track! I'm taking my dad to the game, should be a good time. Kinda wish I was 12 or under so I could get a Mr. Met beach towel.

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 loops on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a watch.

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.
