Around SBN: 2012 Budweiser Shootout Entry List Released

The only good thing Jose Lima brought to the Mets

Our buddy Adam, who runs the SBNation Rangers site Lone Star Ball has some interesting Jose Lima-related news:

Okay, remember how I posted about the auction of Jose Lima's wife's dress?

This dress?

Well, I ended up winning the bidding.

I just bid on it as a goof, figuring I'd be out-bid.

But since I won, I get the dress, and an 8" X 10" photo of the famous picture, with an inscription and autograph from Melissa Lima.

But...I don't know what to ask her to write...

Well, for that matter, I don't know what to do with the dress, either, although I think that, at some point in the offseason, I'll make my brother Ben put it on, and take a few photos in it, and post them on here, so you can see how he compares to Mrs. Lima.

But anyway...I'm opening it up for suggestions. What should I request be written on the photo?

Adam paid $152.50 for said dress, which is a little more than a goof in my book. Still, since we all love Lima Time!™, head on over to LSB and offer up some suggestions. Or, just drop some in the comments here and I'll make sure they find their way over to Adam.

Entry 2:  Yes, Masters.  1 1/2 more inches and we'll be able to make our way to the mothership.

How Much
Does what in the dress cost on an Ebay auction?

No clue on what to have written.

Yeah, but . . .
They're still amazing.  I can't stop lookin' at 'em.  They're almost cartoonish, yet also mesmerizing.

They also seem to be
generating their own anti-gravity field.

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!
