Around SBN: Steve McNair Dead - Former NFL QB Shot and Killed


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.

Why are those giant babies
staring at me like that?

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.

I was inspired by Eric's comment that Olerud had the best 3-year run as a Met outside Carlos Beltran to look at a few different Mets, and when I noticed that two of my all-time favorite players (Alfonzo and Strawberry) were kinda screwed by having (relatively)bad seasons in between some really good seasons, I decided to see which Mets had the best 3 seasons, period (non-consecutively). Beltran still comes out on top, but my all-time favorite player Alfonzo comes in 2nd place, and him and Straw are the only two to have three 6.0+ WAR seasons. Also interesting that Hundley comes out ahead of Gary Carter, Cleon Jones almost finishes ahead of Mike Piazza, and Joe McEwing doesn't make the list.
