Bobby V. on mustache incident

Our Mustache Great #8, Bobby Valentine, recounts the famous fake mustache incident from 1999. Watch the video below. This is classic Valentine. This is why he edges out Wally Backman atop our Mets Managerial Wish List.

Wally Backman needs a promotion

Found this audio of Wally Backman ripping his team apart after their first loss of the season. Gotta love this guy. This is the fire that won us a championship in 86. Still looking for similar audio of Jerry Manuel.

[Caution: Back when I used to work, this would have qualified as NSFW...I'm not sure how general office decorum has evolved in the last six weeks, so play at your own risk.]

I wasn't sure if I was going to fire up the ol' blog for 2009, but it's a new year and hope springs eternal, I suppose. I saw this clip of Johan and I figured that if he's this excited for the new season, then I should be, too.

Apparently, Santana has a different handshake for everyone on the Mets roster. I'm not exaggerating at all...
