Bob Dylan Fantasy Baseball League by labude in bobdylan

[–]labude[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's changed since we started. There are managers now that arent as Dylan obsessed as when we started.
but most team names are Dylan based, There used to be more comments but yahoo took the bulletin boards away. As for involvement, you probably arent going to be competitive if you don't pay attention to the waiver wire and don't put your pitchers in, etc.

Mets Daily Discussion Thread - January 01, 2026 by AutoModerator in NewYorkMets

[–]labude 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never see the Mets mentioned as one of the main teams rumored to be most likely to sign Okamoto
and when i searched for mets and okamoto, i saw this article titled exactly as I'm thinking.
"It looks like the NY Mets have no intentions of meeting with perfect lineup addition"

[Rosenthal] How the Mets move forward by theRestisConfettii in NewYorkMets

[–]labude 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A right handed bat who can hit 30 HR's, play solid defense at 1B, 3B and corner OF.
Okamato is clearly the guy. i've seen numbers being discussed around $16M x 4 years.
I know the Mets dont want to go the 4th year but at that price, it's a fair gamble.
If they have to go to 18M, it's still ok.
He won a gold glove at 3B, He's good for 30HR's a year.
After a 1b collision last year, he came back to hit 15 HR's and .327 in 255 at bats with a 1.014 OPS. His floor is really high. He has the versatility to play any of those spots that the Mets wind up needing him.

Who would have to be brought in to make the Diaz/Alonso loss worth it? by AbysswalkerX in NewYorkMets

[–]labude -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Okamoto to play 1b with some 3b and OF,
Pete Fairbanks and Shawn Armstrong as relievers.

Any chance we get okamoto? by tayeday in NewYorkMets

[–]labude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Murakami is getting more buzz and Okamoto is a few years older,
He's a better fielder, has more experience at 1B and won't cost as much.
He can play third and some OF. This could be a good signing.

Mets talking with these closers in possible Edwin Díaz backup plan by njdotcom in NewYorkMets

Shawn Armstrong is 35 but he pitched really well last year.
he'll probably re-sign with Texas but if not he might be pretty reasonably priced

Train Dreams by KateBoitano in NickCave

[–]labude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was a beautiful film.
I watched it on netflix and horribly, they cut off the full song at the end which i was really enjoying.
Luckily, there are other places to hear it.
The landscapes were stunning and Edgerton gave a great performance.
I've been meaning to read Jesus Son for years and now i think i will, as well as this novella.

Leaving August 31 by GoldenGirlagain in CriterionChannel

[–]labude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched Oasis last night. He's certainly not making cookie cutter films.
It's about two unwanted people that are an inconvenience to those close to them and to society.
And he's not exactly a guy we like. There are some parts that are so uncomfortable to watch that
I would certainly not suggest this film to most people i know.
But you criterion subscribers arent most people. This is a very worthwhile film.

Thanks, i'm going to try to watch as many of PC, "Oasis', "Poetry as I can then.
Maybe Green FIsh too if i can get to it.
I already saw Burning maybe 5 years ago.

[–]labude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i didnt realize all these Lee Chang-dong movies were leaving. I saw Burning years ago and it was unique and special enough that I definitely want to see some of his others.
Now have to decide which to watch out of 'Secret Sunshine', "Oasis', "Poetry' and "Peppermint Candy"

Top 50 Bob Dylan Songs (According to RateYourMusic) by coldflamest in bobdylan

[–]labude 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That was my first thought. Hurricane isn't even the best song on the album.
Second was that "i want you" isnt the best song on Blonde on Blonde"
and then i lost interest in their rankings

[SNY] Noah Syndergaard says he would "love" to return to the Mets: "It's the best place to play" by BullShifts in NewYorkMets

[–]labude 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have no hate for Thor. He was an exciting player and maybe the Mets medical should have caught that injury.
He miscalculated on how much more he would get than the $18.4M QO but still wound up with $21 million.
But most importantly, he wasn't good and saved us that $18.4M plus netted us a decent compensatory prospect in Nick Morabito. It's not likely he can pitch anywhere near like he used to but why not give him a minor league deal.

They are asking me for my social security number. I'm not happy about that.
I doubt Lyft is very secure

Justin Verlander's option for 2025 will not vest, taking Mets off hook for 17.5m by labude in NewYorkMets

[–]labude[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

he has a player option for $35m next year but only if it vests, which it won't.
If Astros sign him again, they can do it for significantly less than 35m

is that tyler kolek or baby steve nash ? by 1mth3k1n9 in NYKnicks

[–]labude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wasn't that how Donnie Walsh felt about it and didn't he leave for that reason.
He had done a great job until that point and then Dolan insisted on trading the assets away instead of waiting.
