And here is the latest from Playing for Peanuts, featuring another Wally Backman team meeting.
This is NSFW, but mild for Wally Backman:
From the video description:
South Georgia Peanuts manager Wally Backman holds a team meeting to announce that the coaching staff is no longer speaking to local newspaper reporters and he would like his team to do the same. The local newspaper had accused Backman of staging his ejection from a game as a publicity stunt for the South Coast League and the TV show Playing for Peanuts.
Who the hell cares about what Wally Backman did 3 years ago in Georgia — why not focus on the job he’s currently doing in Brooklyn?
Congratulations for coming across video that’s been on the ‘net/dvd for years already.

*Er, well, first off, this video was uploaded about two weeks ago and it’s not on the DVD. So, the video is pretty much unseen by most Mets fans. Strike one.
**And maybe MT readers want to see a video with Wally Backman in it? Did you say the same thing about yesteray’s Mets Hall-of-Fame Inductions? Wally was on the ’86 team too, you know? Maybe people want to see a video of him? So, strike two.
***And you don’t need to press the play button. Strike three. You’re an idiot.
Lenny is not a very good businessman, either. Strike four?
Who cares about the ’86 Mets….get with the times, old man. It’s 2010.
“Despite yesterday’s drubbing at the hands of Arizona, Tom Greenhalgh is optimistic.”
….yeah, about that…
Don’t sweat it, Tom — your faith is commendable, if misguided.
Geez, though … the Mets have fallen below the Fish … next step is to sink below whale crap …
