I think this just about wraps it up: Going for the Bugs Bunny HR conga line look.

But EY...if he could just bat .270 and cut down on the Ks he'd fill that lead off spot fine. The stolen bases. We can't just gloss over the stolen bases he brings. I suppose that could play just as well off the bench (pinch running) but I dunno, I think EY is the closest thing we have compared to what we need in a lead off guy. If he starts suckin eggs then do what ya gotta do, but I for one am glad that C Youngs out and we get an extended look at EY. Too bad Lagares don't have his legs.

I did photoshop the #40 on to Stones, actually just the 0 over Seavers (4)1. There must be color versions of all these team shots. I'm collecting the ones I find on-line and very few are in color. And most are not such good quality, color or not.

Zvon wrote: Still, I'm curious as to who was back there. Well I'll be damned. They really did do a cut and paste. I figured they just slapped the rectangle sign over whoever was there. Pics taken same session, maybe seconds apart. So it's Jerry May, Jim Gosger, Phil Hennigan and Jim Fregosi. And they moved Beauchamp and Hahn to the side. That would have to be literally cut & paste work, right? Hands on, with an exacto knife & allathat? Then taking a photo of the doctored photo? A trainer and the player behind him on the far right are gone ( clubhouse att. Bill Hampton/ batboy George Palmero). Looks like Foster was pulled for Capra (upper left row). Capra's not in the B&W team pic. That must have required photo surgery. Pretty amazin. I mean, I know pictures could be manipulated before PC and photo editors. Just never thought they'd do it to a baseball team pic. I recall the photo circles they'd use to add new guys. Great job too, even with the fact that an orange rectangle team sign looks totally stupid there. I suppose the scoreboard is just as silly. I can't help it. I miss the old scoreboard *sob. So the guy in uniform next to Jim McAndrew(in the color one) was not a Met player? A camera technician? I remember the Mets were one of the early teams to analyze video tape for training purposes but I don't think that was the guy I recall doing it. Conner? Wth is that guy doing in a uniform? That ain't right.

Conger with a 2 run bomb. 9-2 I think I'll go build a chimney.

d' turns himself in for a run. If we only needed one run that woulda been great.

Shit. I don't have a chimney.

Walk, double, triple. 6-1 LA. I think I'll go paint the chimney. Single. 7-1. 4th

You didn't mistake the action for a highlight video? Colon pitching in third. Youch, even the outs are ridiculously hard. We need innings from you Bo Fat! Get it together.

Oy. He shudda a-rodded it out of Wilsons glove.

Damn. We score in the first again and then...that. Whatever that was. 4 runs, 3 HRs, 2 doubles. Hm, Grandy with a nice single.

Tick tac toe, 3 in a row. And then a double.

And sadly my one game run comes to an end. I don't think I've ever won two in a row.

Can't have a cigarette in an open air stadium, but you can do that. Isn't that special?

Cheeeeeeeeeze&crackers. Hits the mo-fo. Wait a minute... a wary rictus? Ha.

Gotta load em right? I don't want to get Shucked up.

Damn. Okay, a quick DP please.

Jeeze. Howd he get Dave?
