  1. I'm not doing a live draft on a Sunday night at 11:30 PM. But I'll play an auto drafted team, it's fine.
  2. I will give this another go for 2025, I will sign up later today
  3. For all of Pete's self-professed Mets love over the years, don't forget that he rejected a $150+ million dollar offer during the summer of 2023 so that he could play the market. I loved rooting for the guy but he dug his own hole here by getting progressively worse for the last couple of seasons and holding out for the big payday. I'm sure the MLBPA and his agency has a role in that decision too, but, ultimately, some people actually do take less money to play where they already love playing. And some are Pete. There, I said it. I think the Mets pivot and spend and still upgrade the roster before opening day 2025. I know they want to see what they have in some of the younger bats but the Cohen regime generally has been willing to spend on positional help. They did it very late in the game last spring with the J.D. signing and I think hopefully they learned not to let things linger on so long - get these guys situated in time for a proper spring training at least.
  4. It'd be a pretty big bummer to see him wearing someone else's colors in 2025. Especially if the intent is to not sign Bregman or Santander and just go with the cheaper in-house options (Acuna, Mauricio, Baty), none of which have a proven MLB track record. So we're potentially plus Soto but minus Alonso, and JD Martinez's numbers. And the rotation is a downgrade from the 2024 rotation, at least on paper. So I'm not getting a warm fuzzy from this one
  5. As long as Alex Bregman is also unsigned, and there's another option on the table in free agency that could bring a (relatively) comparable amount of offense from the 1B/3B positions, I'm not sweating this.
  6. He's 30 and this is his last chance at a truly big pay day, unless he opts for a one year deal somewhere where he attempts to have a bounce back. I don't know that he gets more than six years from anyone truth be told.
  7. I feel like the Soto signing has one of two effects on Pete's scenario: 1. He's likely to go to the MFYs, now, who need a power bat to replace Soto and have the very toast-ish Anthony Rizzo manning 1B currently, and can entice him with the short porch, or 2. He's maybe equally likely to resign with the Mets, because he wants to be a part of a championship team in this borough and the Soto deal pushes the needle in the right direction I suppose that some dark horse candidate comes along and offers him stupid money and he takes it to go play somewhere else but I feel it's most likely going to be 1 or 2 above.
  8. Sean Manaea officially passed on his 2025 Mets option to no one's surprise.
  9. The only thing Paul Blackburn will be ready to do is leak icky gray fluid on your driveway. Like an old Bonneville
  10. Sad to give a franchise 30 years to come up with a continuation of a beloved original story only to have it be utter shite. Not this one, which I have not seen, but the ones I have that are comedies are generally pretty rotten.
  11. I was at the game. He did not look particularly sharp

    Dune 2

    I tried watching the first one, on a flight, but gave up after 30-40 minutes. Having never read the book I had no idea what was happening and didn't care much either. So I don't think I'm the target audience for the sequel.
  13. I was going to request "Stand By Your Man". Sorry that's country music. Not my genre
  14. Thanks man. I'm also good with offering up a song slot to the winner, provided it's not country music and it's a song I'm able to learn.
  15. Seconded on the H2H league format. More dramatic and a nice reset each week.
  16. Glad you decided to play, Irish ! I'm ready
  17. I wish I could glom on to some rich idiot celebrity and do some siphoning. That sounds like da life
  18. I can't account for all seven owners currently in there. Here's last year's list/this year's automatically returning list. Team Name Manager Email A Team Named Seo Two-Bagger kickingtv@gmail.com Country Squires Chris S cspringer26@hotmail.com FY Yankee Blue Jeans Jon mbtn01@yahoo.com Gulden's Spicy Brown Jeff bmfc1108@gmail.com marathon mets thomas runningmets@gmail.com The B Team Brett brett@aiim.com The Eff Man's Effers Your Mom aardvark324@gmail.com
  19. The 2024 league page is up. We have 7 owners currently. I'm ready to go. Can't do H2H with an odd #
  20. This photo broke my brain for 11 different reasons.
  21. I'll watch it eventually. It's a great book.
  22. A Boy Named Seo wrote: Some people think of Sex and the City when they think of Kim Cattrall. The real ones think of Mannequin. OK so I'm the only one who thinks of her from the scene in Porky's where she bangs some guy in the gym and howls like a dog the entire time. Riiiiiiight
  23. ABNS, I hope your costume included/includes a plastic codpiece where your genitals would otherwise presumably be located.
  24. The DH option is not an insignificant one. That will help lots of aging sluggers like future Pete.
  25. Ceets is out. It's not his bag.
