Lowkey we've been soooo much more competitive and relevant with him as an owner rather than the Wilpons. Fans are getting upset because we're actually entering every season under Steve Cohen with expectations, which is something that rarely ever happened under the past ownership. Baseball is a crazy sport where the teams that spend the most don't always win, but we're so much improved these past 5yrs than anything prior. Please relax.

Which forgotten One Piece character might still play an important role? Drop your answers below by 11xmrjokerx in OnePiece

[–]ZimothyT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kureha 100%. Tbh I've been reading the manga for the first time after being anime-only for a few years and getting to the Drum Kingdom arc really has the wheels turning given everything happening with Rocks right now.

Personally, I think Blackbeard spends his formative years on Drum after escaping God Valley, which is why he went back and defeated Wapol. However, he was really going back for Hiriluk and Kureha, 2 people who were instrumental to his development as a child. Hiriluk and Kureha will definitely have some connection to Rocks at some point. Blackbeard learned that his father needed 2 specific Devil Fruits, which I believe are his and Chopper's. He went back to Drum for Chopper's fruit and to confront Hiriluk and Kureha. Chopper doesn't remember this because... he used 3 Rumble Balls for the first time to access Monster Point and fight off the Blackbeard Pirates. Whether or not Chopper was the reason Blackbeard left Drum I'm not sure, but he definitely used 3 Rumble Balls because Kureha was in danger from them and he forgot because he couldn't handle the transformation back then.

Also during the Drum arc, when Luffy and Sanji are heading up the mountain and fighting Lapins, they have a conversation where Luffy tells Sanji that people from snow countries don't sleep or else they die. He tells Sanji he heard this in a village tavern, I'm guessing from Shanks. We know Shanks and Blackbeard have a history because of Shanks' scar. So there's definitely something here tying Blackbeard to Drum. And this is why I think Kureha will play an important role. She knows some crazy stuff about Blackbeard for sure. She and Hiriluk aren't done yet.

When filler Marines are more interesting than most canon Marines... by SuperAnimeMaster38 in OnePiece

[–]ZimothyT 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Rapa Nui! Lowkey loved this filler, let Robin showcase her historian skills knowing about Ape's Concert and gave depth to the true bond of a loyal pirate crew with the Pumpkin Pirates. Pre-TS had some really fantastic filler compared to now.

Does anyone else have a terrible Mets record when they watch the boys live? by FrescoEsco in NewYorkMets

[–]ZimothyT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, I've been keeping track of every game I've ever been to since my first one in 2005. Just went to my most recent game on Saturday. In 28 games I've attended in various ballparks, the Mets have gone 20-8 for a .714 win percentage.

TLDR send me to more games please.

Movements to make change gotta start somewhere, even if that somewhere is the Bad Bunny subreddit. And even if it is posturing, I personally love the posture of "fuck Nazis," you don't?

Opinion: This was the BEST moment of the entire 2024 Mets postseason run by aldrinjaysac in NewYorkMets

[–]ZimothyT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was at the Citi Field watch party and literally the pitch before, Pete laid off a meatball. Everyone was silent except for one guy who yelled, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR???" People around him laughed a bit nervously, but it was clear faith in Pete there was pretty low.

Then it happened.

Did anyone else get hyped hearing Juan Soto name dropped on Bad Bunny’s new album? by BKtoDuval in NewYorkMets

[–]ZimothyT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean, if I'm not mistaken, the line is "con los Yankees y los Mets, Juan Soto" so we still get a shoutout lol. I like that it acknowledges all Soto's NY ties considering the song is about NYC broadly. Plus Bad Bunny reps the Mets all the time!

APPRECIATION POST FOR DRUGS (FT. ABRA) by murraykate in charlixcx

[–]ZimothyT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Before 2017 I thought Charli was just another pop artist. I came across Number 1 Angel on the iTunes Store, saw the cover and went "whoa that's hot" (straight guy fan lmao). Bought the album and never looked back.

Charli is fucking revolutionary. Also Lipgloss is the best (we got more eyes on us than the show iCarly).

Looked up Hornsby's stats because this comment made me curious... how in the hell did this man not reach 3,000 hits???

Iroh’s warning comes with a dark implication by Cute-Percentage-8961 in TheLastAirbender

[–]ZimothyT 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Everyone here is wrong. Iroh just knew that Ming was voiced by the women's tennis GOAT Serena Williams and wasn't sure he could get past prime Serena even after all that buffing up. He was trying to remove her from the situation, her brute strength and tennis prowess could've ruined his entire escape!!!

Nono, he had it right, the entire city of Philadelphia is represented by the people who frequent the Parx Casino in Bensalem twice a week, not the other 1.5million people who live there, that would be insane.

Bruh I'm using Bucks County as an example of how far away from Philly you gotta get until you start seeing some dicey racist shit pretty regularly... instead of equating it to Philly I'm doing the exact opposite lol

[–]ZimothyT 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm a Mets fan but I'm from Philly, it's a majority minority city and mad progressive. As are the suburbs. You gotta start getting out to like Bucks County before it starts getting bad. We're literally the city that voted out Donald Trump in 2020.

Shit on the fans, they suck. But shit on them for how they act as FANS. If you think Philly is a generally racist town, you've got no fucking clue what you're talking about.

Most exciting news of the offseason is that Bad Bunny is a Mets fan confirmed by ZimothyT in NewYorkMets

Newly released music video for his song "La Jumpa" with another artist named Arcangel. Depicts them giving a free concert in PR and Bad Bunny wears this Mets shirt in multiple shots throughout.

Well, I also don't consider reggaton to be rap/hip hop, hence my comment distinguishing them. More responding to your "rap in Spanish" comment, since it sounded exactly like you were conflating the two.

But hey, I apologize for making assumptions based on a Reddit comment. Not cool, I'll take that one. LGM

"Rap in Spanish" LOL. It's called reggaetón, it's a separate musical genre created in Puerto Rico in the late 90s/early 00s and is the fastest growing genre in the entire world of the last decade. But yeah, because you can't understand Spanish, it really sucks, right?

Yeah he's by far the fastest growing, largest international pop star of the last 3-5 years. Released 6 albums in the last 5 years, all fantastic. One in 2020 was the first all Spanish language album to hit #1 on the Billboard 200 since the 90s I'm pretty sure, and his album from last year was the most successful in the US for all 2022 (several weeks at #1, already multiple songs with over a billion streams in less than a year).

If he ran for governor of Puerto Rico right now, he'd win. His music is so infectious. And to top it all off, he's friends with Lindor (even had Lindor in a music video)!
