    I had my quibbles - Field of Dreams was ranked too high. Baseball's Not Dead went into whether the dirt was too dusty in Eight Men Out, but didn't say word about Shoeless Joe batting the wrong way in FoD? Also, was there a cutoff datewise that I missed? I was surprised Bingo Long or Bang The Drum Slowly wasn't included.

    Holy moly! Hard to make some people out, but you get the gist. Year? The Blue Tarp Lounge: https://thecranepool.net/images/bluetarplounge.png> Yep, that's me wearing the Binghamton Mets Hat. Mrs. DGW is holding littlest DGW who has long since graduated college and has been working as a photographer for a company that holds dance competitions all over the country. Even worse is our oldest (in the blue with pink cuffs) who is now 30, and a vet tech in S.C. I'm guessing this is 2002?

    I thought Charlie Samuels was gone for good. Those things were were beyond being an abomination.

    Some of you met LittlestDGW at the first MOFO picnic in 2001 when she was 18 months old... This is her in 2008 during one of the DynaMet dashes - She graduated college last year. https://live.staticflickr.com/3098/2819035249_09f64b22d6_c.jpg>

    I took so many pictures of every nook and cranny of Shea that last year. I found little details that I previously hadn't noticed or paid attention to.

    =G-Fafif post_id=55726 time=1612821157 user_id=55] Perhaps the first ball to get by Murph. Not the last. DGW was kicking photographic ass all day and night.

    https://live.staticflickr.com/3278/2889495851_551c89e4d5_b.jpg> September 24, 2008 - Daniel Murphy over runs the ball, allowing the tying run to score in the Mets 9-6 loss to the Cubs. A few of us were in bleachers that night, and this was the first time I watched a game from through the fence under the bleachers. I have a picture of Johnny Lunchbucket in absolute misery buried somewhere in my archives from that night...

    The most underrated hitter of all time. My favorite baseball stat: take away all of his home runs, and Aaron still has more hits than Wade Boggs

    Maybe it's my Wilponian Hangover, But trading for middle infielders from Cleveland hasn't exactly worked out well in the past.

    =kcmets post_id=51710 time=1607202022 user_id=53] Jeffie thought he was a baseball man, I think we'll see over time that Steve will be (and knows that he is) just a baseball fan.

    I got a notification about this, and came here to see what the thread title would be. Not disappointed.

    =TransMonk post_id=42337 time=1596226024 user_id=71] Honesty, I watched the first and second Mets games, but tuned out after that. I can't justify spending time and energy on a season that seems due to fail. It's bordering on embarrassing that they continue to think this has a chance of getting to October.

    My first move would be to create a fan relations group comprised of members of the CPF who would meet monthly to help implement changes to make things more fan friendly.

    Actually, he still hasn't acted like more of an asshole than I think he is.

    Lefty Specialist wrote: short answer: "it's a lie." longer answer: creative accounting, mostly. Counting loans against the stadium as deficit, while not counting name rights as revenue, that sort of thing. Only a direct 'tickets sold against payroll' type calculation. It's how you cry poor and beg players to take pay cuts. This. The Mets count the money they pay SNY against the team revenue. Even though it's going into the same pocket. It's also why they desperately want to hang on to SNY. Actually, I think SNY pays the Mets for the rights to broadcast the games. IIRC, the rights fees SNY pays is far below market value, so the Mets can claim a loss. Why do they do this? MLB revenue is shared, and SNY revenue is not.

    At the time, I think I was the only one happy with the McDowell/Dykstra trade. I considered them both punks, and was happy they were gone.

    My biggest memory is definitely Straw's shot off the clock. Also the setting of one of my favorite baseball photographs from Walter Iooss: [attachment=0]IMG_0291.jpg[/attachment]

    I finally saw this as I now have time to catch up ;-) This movie was visually beautiful, Brad Pitt was fantastic, and I enjoyed every minute of it, until the final act. Frankly, the cartoon violence of the last act just took me right out of the movie. Oh, and what is it with QT and his foot fetish?

    I've come to a realization - I miss local sports, and covering them the way have been able to the last several years. I really don't miss Major League Baseball.

    IIRC, The antics of the '86 team, especially the cost of repairing the charter jet after the NLCS, soured Frank Cashen of more than a few of the players, leading to those trades.

    That was great...
