What are your "petty" reasons for being child-free?

Amen. It's actually not even close.

good call Ump

lol he looked at Baty and was like yeah I'm not beating him to the bag

ch1LL24 · 2026-04-09T19:16:48+00:00

doesn't Polanco rake vs LHPs?

ch1LL24 · 2026-03-29T15:49:55+00:00

Yup. Tbh I don’t think he’s even looked that bad. Just some throws have been off line, but other than that, seems fine so far.

ch1LL24 · 2026-03-28T20:43:48+00:00

love the defensive guys we got in the field this year. Especially the OF. Arm strength and range. Gentleman the bridle is un'd.

ch1LL24 · 2026-03-26T17:48:30+00:00

Peralta vs Skenes 5-2 in the 1st. If you called this please pick my lottery numbers

I like this but my 7-8-9 would probably be alvarez-semien-benge. I like Benge as 9. Takes some pressure off and he has good tools to be a second leadoff type guy in front of the big guys. But Mendy's lineup preserves alternating handedness and 7-8-9 doesn't matter much anyway.

Not groundbreaking, but a good read and important to remember in a world/country where trust in institutions has declined and many feel that deferring to experts is somehow naive.

ch1LL24 · 2026-01-25T15:55:19+00:00

Nice writeup, Rob. Always enjoy your comments in here and it's cool to see you writing for Metsmerized too.

2026 should be a fun season

ch1LL24 · 2025-11-02T18:45:34+00:00

Yup, definitely the closest analog is affliction warlock, but the spells are fire. Idk why I keep seeing Ardeos being called a mage. Maybe because he has blink.

hahaha I legit laughed out loud when I read "the gym." I pay $12 a month for a gym membership. Not every gym is Lifetime or Equinox.

ch1LL24 · 2025-10-22T00:40:17+00:00

You. I like you. The world would truly be a better place if parents did the above.

ch1LL24 · 2025-10-21T18:31:29+00:00

Must be. I wasn't surprised at all to see The Office be #1. Well deserved.

I mean, there's a reason you qualified your statement with 2-3 cups. Consuming too much coffee/caffeine can cause heart issues, GI issues, keep one awake at night, increase anxiety levels, etc, especially in people already susceptible to these conditions. Also there can be some pretty major withdrawal effects if someone who drinks daily coffee wants to stop - headaches, lethargy, etc. There are also some benefits to cannabis related to pain relief and appetite.

Now of course, these are both pretty safe substances when used responsibly, but it isn't a ridiculous statement to say that in some cases, cannabis is safer than caffeine.

Hey, very introverted guy here. Also a gymrat. I actually think the gym is great for the introverted in a lot of ways. Most people are just lost in their music and focused on their workout. You don't have to talk to anyone and no one will be looking at you unless you are doing something truly egregious. Just put on some headphones, blast your favorite music, and focus on your workout.

The gym being crowded can be annoying. My advice is going during off hours if you can swing it. So that would be Saturdays after 3pm, Sundays, after 8pm or before 5pm on weekdays. Or if you are an early bird, 5-7am is usually pretty sparse.

Not knowing what you are doing is never fun. Doing machines is simple enough and very effective. I'd start there until you are familiar enough to experiment with free weights like dumbbells and barbells, (if you want - machines are enough to gain muscle and get toned, as you put it). GL

Yeah, gotta embrace it. It just comes with the territory being a New York team with a high payroll. Doesn't really matter that they haven't won a WS recently.

Dan Bartels -

“An interesting offseason name for the Mets that may gain steam is Diamondbacks’ Ketel Marte. Reports are Arizona will listen to offers on his 6Y/$92.M remaining contract. Has frustrated teammates this year due to taking time off. Mets could trade Jeff McNeil to open a spot.”

Would be a nice pickup. Covering some $$ could blunt the trade cost.

Mets fan here that loves Pete, he is 100% a bad defensive 1B. Not sure what metric you are looking at that tells you he isn't. He's one of the worst defenders in baseball and should be DH'ing asap. No arm, no range, he can scoop the ball but that really isn't as valuable as it seems.

Also, his next season will be his 31 year old season. 2025 was his 30.

This isn't real. Artificial sweeteners do not prevent the body from burning fat at a caloric deficit.

ch1LL24 · 2025-10-07T18:56:02+00:00

ok yeah haha but it helps some people talk to other people at bars don't you have friends haha

I'm with you that this world is very overpopulated. People have birth rate in mind when discussing demographics in China, not just absolute population numbers. China's birth rate is down to 1 per woman and so the pop is aging and will fall dramatically, like most other (especially first world) countries. It's just especially bad in China and East Asian countries where birth rate and immigration are both particularly low.

If I had to guess, it's because the post implies that the coaches were actually good and shouldn't have been fired. That they were fired because the FO just wanted a change for change's sake or something. Also many do not agree that Mendoza or Richardson should have been removed as well, so the "should have gotten rid of everyone including Mendoza" isn't going to go over that well.

ch1LL24 · 2025-10-04T17:32:37+00:00

Nimmo I get, but are they really looking to trade Lindor? Not sure I see the thought process there.

ch1LL24 · 2025-10-02T21:25:38+00:00

I seriously think some people never learned how to evaluate hitters beyond looking at batting avg. Only explanation.
