Met Wishes for 2017

[Zvon]

I doubt you get that wish Batmags but here's something, a small consolation wish, a pic that, as far as I can recall (which usually isn't much), I've yet to share. I hope this isn't a photo you shared already that I saved eons ago. I created a folder for all mintwall pics recently and while sorting I came across this one the other day. I remembered all the other ones I'm finding (like with Cleon, Goosen, and Rocky) but not this one. Hope it's new to you too. Happy Anniversary to the mintwhitetoothpasty colored walls!

More of a regret. I wish the Mets had kept Colon and canned Jay Bruce.

Banning here is almost non-existent, calls for banning will fall on deaf
ears. Two individuals have been banned in like, what, fifteen years? One
historical, the other still posts here and has become a folk hero of sorts
despite having 2-3 monikers turned off.

I really hope you (and others) don't view the under-administration of this
board as either controlling or containing posters. This is, and always has
been, the most willy-nilly-do-what-you-want little corner on the Mets' and
just-about-every-freakin'-thing-else place on the interweb.

Hopefully, no more dust ups in 2017.

Control?

Sheesh, I can't even control myself.

[ashie62]

I am the master of my domain.

Check the Red Light Forum.

[Guest cooby]

Oh. Sorry I brought it up. Hopefully everythings blown over.

I'd love to know who the formerly banned poster that is now a folk hero is though!

"folk hero" isn't really an apt description.

Edit - there is a not-fully-updated thread here: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=307

find someone who was responsible for every single "problem" up until 8 or 9 years ago, hasnt posted since, and had about 50 screen names. then project that person onto a current poster who "joined" since they left.

[ashie62]

I was Cleonjones21 and Grote15 many years and yes behaved as a jackass by all accounts. I remember the other poster as Bretsabermetric.

I'd like to think the 9 year run and 13,000 posts as Ashie62 have gone better for me and hopefully the board.

I do like the folk hero tag though. My wife was a hero but surely not I.

LETS GO METS IN 17.

[Guest cooby]

Wow I had no idea! You ole tricker!

[Centerfield]

Lots of us here act like jackasses. I'm front and center.

It's a family. Families fight, act like assholes, and then bond together because whether we like it or not, we're all stuck with each other and in the end, we all want the same thing.

Plus, we make each other laugh and feel sane.

Who was Stoins?

Ah, good old Sal Q.

[nymr83]

Salamander is the moniker I always remember him as though he used many.

We were with you up until that last word.
This group sane?
Of course not. And that's what makes us come back ... and laugh.
And that's a good thing.
