Mets fight Braves…in 1980 (video)

Good morning.   More generic content today (been decent so far, no?) as I focus on Real Job and Media Goon minds the store.

Here’s another awesome time capsule from 1980.  Go about 2:40 in and you’ll see some light fisticuffs between the Braves and the Mets.

Wait 20 seconds later and you’ll see the greatest Met of all time (OK maybe Seaver was better and Doc had a good three years) go deep.

Ralph Kiner says it best, “Mazzilli is really something to believe.”

…and the Mad Hungarian is mad at Mr. Mazzilli

…then the video gest terribly bizarre with a magician (the Magic was back) and then some bizarro Mets song.  SNY needs to contact the guy that posted this and re-edit it for an awesome special.

Man up and play better

According to this report in the Daily News it was the phrase “Man up and play better!” that set K-Rod off.

Not for nothing but MAN UP AND PLAY BETTER would be a good slogan for this entire franchise.

The only guy who does “man up” is Santana who is often like a one man team.

The rest of ya, and I mean upstairs too, check the standings. I will meet you in the hallway in five minutes if you’d like to talk.

….

This is another “one and done” day for me. Cool generic content will roll out throughout the day and Media Goon and Dan will mind the store.

If some Los Mets jerseys appear tonight snap some pix guys. Thanks!

Well they did it again…I can’t believe they let Seaver go, and now they want me to root for these imports from other teams.  I bet these two wind up being as overhyped as Hebner and Foster…..and yet another rookie that supposedly is the real deal.  I’ve fallen for that before.  It might be time to give up on this team for good.
