Offseason Shenanigans 2014-15

We all clearly have far too much free time at our jobs/in our lives, and pay an inordinate amount of attention to Metsiana of both serious import and doofy interest. So how did we miss this? (From Dec. 18, 2014)

Fun video! I used to love The Globetotters. I just googled Meadowlark Lemon... he's still dribbling at the young age of 82! Surprised I'm an inch taller than him according to wikiheight, I always thought of him as a giant.

I expect to be doing a lot of dribbling at 82, myself.

I used to be able to spin a basketball on my finger very well, even keep it going using other hand to continue it. I need to find my ball, it's probably Belichicked though.

Mrs. Fafif found herself on the opposite side of the tracks from the Globetrotters during one of their promotional tours through Queens a couple of months ago. I mean literally the opposite side of the tracks on the 7 line around Sunnyside. She was waiting for a train eastbound and they were surprising and entertaining random commuters westbound. She got their attention and they gladly hammed it up. Not pictured there but here: Jenrry and Jeurys, hydrating in character.

Got that song in my head, which is a sweet thing!

This poster used to be on my wall growing up: This is a classic find :)

Didn't know most of this, until today... Brother Bones From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Brother Bones (October 4, 1902 – June 14, 1974[1]) was an American whistling and bone playing recording artist from Montgomery, Alabama.[1] Born Freeman Davis, his 1949 [2] recording of the 1925 standard "Sweet Georgia Brown," became internationally famous after being adopted as the theme song of the Harlem Globetrotters basketball team in 1952. Notably, the bass line for this track uses the Novachord a very early electronic synthesizer more prominently featured on the B side of the record. Despite the success of this record, Brother Bones himself remained relatively unknown.[citation needed] Another of his recordings, "Black Eyed Susan Brown", was sampled in the De La Soul song, "Pease Porridge", on their 1991 album, De La Soul is Dead. "Sweet Georgia Brown" was used in the Vauxhall Meriva television advertisement in the UK. "Sweet Georgia Brown" on the Tempo label (US), recorded by Brother Bones and His Shadows He died in June 1974, in Long Beach, California, at the age of 71.[1]

Here's some shenanigans at Wright's annual Vegas Night fundraiser. I see Cuddy, Niese, Laggy (I think), Wright, possibly Wilmer, d'Arnaud with some offseason fuzz developments, and... and... holy crap, Bobby Parnell, what have you done?

d'Kong76 Jan 24 2015 09:23 AM Re: Offseason Shenanigans 2014-15

Think they have the jeans with an un-tucked dress shirt thing down?

Edgy MD Jan 24 2015 09:55 AM Re: Offseason Shenanigans 2014-15

Flores is still a little raw in that department. He'll learn.

Frayed Knot Jan 24 2015 11:01 AM Re: Offseason Shenanigans 2014-15

You've got Flores & Lagares swapped. Wilmer is the taller one with the badge turned backwards.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Jan 24 2015 11:42 AM Re: Offseason Shenanigans 2014-15

Cuddy's got a little redneck Reed Richards thing going on there, doesn't he? And for f*ck's sake, guys, tuck in a shirt. Are you farmers*? *Parnell may be excused.

They look like the band "Florida Georgia Line."

Benjamin Grimm Jan 24 2015 02:08 PM Re: Offseason Shenanigans 2014-15

I feel bad for Wilmer Flores. I think the Mets fans are going to give him a lot of undeserved shit for not being Tulowitski or Desmond or Honus Wagner.

If you told me the guy on the right was a beardshorn Justin Turner, I'd've believed you.

d'Kong76 Jan 24 2015 06:29 PM Re: Offseason Shenanigans 2014-15

I was talking about the clothes, but whatever ... I could bump into 7/8's of the Mets in the subway and not know them by face ...

Edgy MD Jan 24 2015 06:51 PM Re: Offseason Shenanigans 2014-15

Parnell, you'd be more likely to bump into on the Canadian timberline, by the looks of it.

d'Kong76 Jan 24 2015 07:18 PM Re: Offseason Shenanigans 2014-15

We're looking at different things.

Bitch, bitch, bitch. This is a happy thread, for winsome-type shenanigans. Like casino hugs, f'rinstan-- JEEZALOU WATCH THE SHOULDER AND THE BACK AND THE ALL OF IT.

Admins, did you split this thread? I thought that I had posted something along the lines of: "Signing a 36 year old injured outfielder is my idea of offseason shenanigans." Did I make that up in my head?
