86 DVD Set

[Centerfield]

Sorry to start a new thread, but I can't find the old one. A few weeks ago, you guys were talking about a DVD set that was released with the '86 World Series games and Game 6 of the NLCS. It was multi-DVD set and I remember thinking I should pick it up.

Do you guys have a link to this? I don't want to buy the wrong thing.

[Methead]

This is it

Here's the original thread. Probably shoulda put it in permalinks.

[Centerfield]

Thanks guys.

I bought the set for D-Dad as an anniversary set - I think we're going to get a lot of good use out of it.

Man. What's that like? Having a spouse that's as into the Mets as you are?

I've had girlfriends that made a nice effort at trying to be into them but, you know, baseball just weren't their cuppa tea.

My wife after years of being inundated with the Mets tolerates them but falls far, far short of being 'into' them.

Is it like...great?

Any of the kids conceived with Murphy doing play by play in the background?

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

It's definitely nice being able to watch the Mets with a fellow fan on a daily basis.

And no - SBS rules prohibit intimacy during Mets games (also note for the record that two out of our three kids were conceived in the offseason).

[Guest Edgy DC]

What a grevious rule.

[soupcan]

Totally.

I just think it'd be cooler if the other party involved was as excited about it.

The Mets or the sex?

[soupcan]

Ouch.

Chuckling over here about Bob Murphy doing play by play (depending how
you read it) describing the white puffy clouds over Diamond Knight Stadium
and it looks like DD has his good stuff this afternoon.

Must stop thinking about my cyber-sister like this.

I ain't getting that dvd until after the season - I know I'd be glued to it and
get even less done that I get now. Bad enough I ran out and bought Dead-
wood Season ll yesterday when it hit the shelves.

[Guest Spacemans Bong]

I'm pretty sure deepdiscountdvd.com has that DVD set for $50 cheaper.

[soupcan]

cooby - you have something to share with the class?

[Guest cooby]

Nah, thought better of it. We really need that delete function back

Got this out of the library to see if it was worth spending fifty bucks I don't have; it's worth it and more. I'm watching NLCS Game 6 right now, and I'm riveted, even though I know what's going to happen.

Two quick Ray Knight observations: one, he bitched at the home plate ump on every single pitch during his ninth-inning AB in Game 6, even the ones that were called balls. Second, he looks like he's Derek Jeter's long-lost older brother.

One quick Tim McCarver observation: he sounds exactly the same now as he did twenty years ago. Same intonation, same inflection, same observations. The guy hasn't changed a bit.

My DVD was shipped from Amazon yesterday.

I watched the NLCS Game 6 all by myself in my basement apartment. All 900 hours of it.

I must have sat or stood in every square inch of my living room over the course of that game.

Since it was a basement apartment it had a low ceiling with those hung asbestos tiles. When the Mets finally won, I jumped up with my arms raised and rained down at least 5-6 of those tiles and a crapload of asbestos dust all over me.

Years from now when I'm lying in a hospice bed, slowly dying of cancer I'll think of how I might have initially contracted the disease and I will smile.

[Benjamin Grimm]

That's funny. (Sort of.)

In October 1986 I had a bad case of bronchitis, and tickets to Mets post-season games. Every time I started to feel better, I'd go to an October night game at Shea, and I'd immediately get worse again. (I went to NLCS Game 4, and WS Games 1, 2, and 6.)

I suspected that my poor attention to my health that month had made the bronchitis chronic. For years afterward, I'd get it every year. I called it my "World Series Bronchitis." The last time it recurred was in 1993. By then, the Mets were so far removed from their glory that it probably killed the germs that had been living inside me.

Got mine today.
