  2. Have fun with it Z - if you want something bigger to work with, let me know - I'm interested to see what you have in mind.
  3. Sometimes, you don't have to get close to get a good shot...

  5. it could get ugly for this kid really fast...
  6. Loving the fact that the 1976 Mets Yearbook is on during the rain delay...

  8. I remember today more for Keith than I do for Seaver, because the Seaver trade still hurts too damned much... I remember sitting in my dad's car in front of city hall, waiting for my mom to get out of work, and hearing the announcement that Flynn won the gold glove... A funny thing about that Hendu homer is seeing Fred Wilpon giving him a high five on the field in front of the Mets dugout...
  9. Yes, I remember it being attributed to Backman. Now I just have to find where I saw it....

Hope that answers your question. I was going to post this exact same quote - I read it in The Worst Team Money Could Buy, IIRC
  11. before his fine and suspension, he'd better get one in his ear...
  12. A Space Shot by David, as he shows he has the WRIGHT stuff!
  13. Noble always brings something to the table. While this may not be his best, calling it a waste of time is a bit much. If Noble doesn't deserve some slack (he does), then nobody does...
  14. Bernie Carbo was quite the jerk (not to me) the one time I met him. I had the good fortune of having field access at Fenway for the Old Timers Day game in 1989, and spent both games i nthe photo box next to the Sox' dugout... Anyway, Carbo runs out onto the field, and a couple of kids call to him for an autograph. He runs over, asks to borrow a pen with the promise that he'd be right back. He then ran out to Lou Brock, and had him sign a couple of baseballs. On his way back to the dugout, he just flipped the pen back to the kids - no autograph. Douche.
  15. Nah - not taken in at all... Now if that was a more believable name, like Reyes after the thyroid problem, you probably would have gotten me. April first always makes me remember, fondly, the exploits of Sidd Finch. I just loved how George Plimpton hid "Happy April Fools Day" in the first letter of each word of the opening paragraph... I also remember, not as fondly, that same date in 1987, when Doc was suspended the first time. I remember getting a call from one of my coworkers, and not believing him because I thought it was a bad April fools joke. Then I got the bad news from Sports phone... Get all the sports news instantly. Dial 976-1313....
  16. I was surprised that this wasn't posted already. Holmes and Watson thrown into a buddy movie... I just saw this, and was thoroughly entertained, and enjoyed it. I have to admit that I'm a sucker for Robert Downey Jr.
  17. Well done. When I heard one of the security supervisors say that the home run apple wasn't going to be in the bullpen area last year, I feared the worst. I'm glad I was wrong.

I already own almost every Met highlight ever produced (I think that the 1970 season highlight film is the only one I'm missing) but wanted to re-record 1980 because the quality of my copy is not up to snuff. Anyway, what I noticed is that SNY's version is an edited version of the original highlight film. Among the stuff cut out was Hendu's curtain call. So it's curtains for Hendu's curtain call. The curtain call is shown in the 25th anniversary video. (God, I need a life)
  19. I'm trying really hard not to get excited and all, and failing miserably...
  20. When Hendu started back towards the dugout after the curtain call, he got a high five from Fred Wilpon, IIRC.
