Here for anything related to Steely Dan, Mets, Wizards, Isles, and shitty television like Survivor
Today is a great day for the Mets to sign the top free agent on the market, KYLE TUCKER, and prove to the haters (of which there are many) that this has actually been a POSITIVE offseason for the team!

Absolutely wild to me that 27 of the 30 first time voters have ANDRUW JONES on their ballots

1, I dont feel his stats make him a slam dunk, 90% clip, HOFer

2, he PLED GUILTY not even 13 years ago to DV where he choked out his wife and threatened to kill her!

Like what are we doing here man
Here's your #MicrosoftKilledTheTracker screencap for your viewing pleasure with the six ballots from the Boston Globe group (apps.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/spor...) added.

Thanks for all your feedback on this yesterday. My current plan is to post this screencap morning, mid day, and in the evening.

Alright Mets, how about signing Kyle Tucker today? My kid whipped up the following terms over his mid-sleep bottle, thoughts?

$160mm / 4 yrs, mtl option w/ $15m buyout, so $175m gtd
Opt out after yr 2
if opt out, Mets can add 3yrs / $150mm to deal bringing total to $310 over 7yrs

If Stearns really wanted to sell some (not a ton but some) seats, there is an obvious right-handed 1B to play vs some LHP and can fill Marte’s vacated bench role -> bring Wilmer Flores back from SFG!

Two steps to build a winning MLB roster:

1) draft as many SS as possible
2) sign & acquire as many 2B as possible

Wait and see your championship roster win games

Mets need to trade for Marte or sign Bichette to make up for the huge 2B hole they have now from trading McNeil #NYM #LGM

Finally watched Survivor 49 finale, and they really over edited the winner in the premerge to try and show strategy that never really materialized in the merge. I figured it was bc of S50, but nope they just telegraphed it from the first tribe swap

Thanks Apple & Huffpost for this absurdly easy sleep trick!

Good for Pete getting the money he deserves. Didn’t think a 1B contract like this s existed but I suppose Os are betting on him to age like Schwarber

Will be rooting for him to MASH DONGS all over the Great Wall of Baltimore & Eutaw Street!

Ah yes the Atlanta Braves, the team that built their talent through developing young players through the ~improper deals of the international free agent market~ MLB draft
December 9, 2025 at 10:39 PM
Okay Mets! Let’s get some luck on our side here and make a BIG jump up the MLB Draft board!

Need a reporter at JEFF KENT’s BBHOF press conference to ask him how getting the call to the Hall of Fame compares to getting the call for Survivor

My favorite fact from this year’s Fangraphs 2025 Wrapped summary is that I ranked first in visits to one of my favorite Mets of all-time, Dae-Sung Koo!

God I love BBHOF voting. If I had a ballot, I’d pull some shit like this (as well as never vote for Chase Utley “U Buttley”)

Ballot #5 is from a voter who wishes to remain anonymous. As a refresher, we are unable to report adds or drops, if any, on anonymous ballots.

This is the first ever known David Wright-only ballot. There will not be a unanimous inductee this year.

Good deal! Thank you David!

Now what is his primary inning?? My gut tells me he’s the 9th and only (multiple) minor (cheaper) additions coming to the bullpen

Devin Williams Mets deal: $45M for 3 years. $5M per deferred for 11/20 years with $6M bonus prorated equal over 3 yrs

Do we really need more music biopics??? I do NOT need to see Hugh Jackman as Neil Diamond this holiday season!

Can Judd Apatow and Jake Kasdan release Dewey Cox 2 to put an end to this?!???

Will be very interested if this now throws the Mets into the mix for the top FA bats given the corner OF opening

Plus gotta assume McNeil’s days are officially numbered

✅ Improved defense
✅ Improved roster flexibility
✅Improved lineup possibilities
Brandon Nimmo has been traded to the Texas Rangers, per source. A trade that will also send Marcus Semien to the New York Mets.

Today’s MLB Qualifying Offer decisions got me interested in how the past 14 accepters fared, and well, it’s interesting!
