Pretty revealing photos when you type Kris Benson into Google images.

Sham-wow guy and his new product. (His name is Vince Offer)

In all seriousness, this is what he says when he’s promoting his new product (some kind of chopping mechanism – Slap Chop)

“…Watch this. You’re gonna love my nuts.” If you want to hear him say it, click on the link:

I kid, you not. He says this.

depressing

Dude was crazy good in 1995 between AA/AAA. Just pulled him up on BR – 194/44 K/BB in 186 IP. Blech.

I’m assuming he had a normal-sized workload in college, otherwise I’d posit those 186 innings played a substantial role in, um, killing his right arm.

by jasondg on Jan 26, 2009 2:46 PM EST up reply actions  

I have a foul ball

from the first batter he faced in his first major league win. At the time I thought that was signifigant.

by Mount17 on Jan 26, 2009 3:09 PM EST up reply actions  

my dad and I went to his ML debut

we figured in 20 years it’d be as important as having been at Seavers debut. He got lit up. That was pretty much the highlight of his Mets career…

the guy on base looks like a Brewer

so it has to be post-‘97. Unless I’m misinterpreting the completely blurry uniform.

That might be one of the old Astro uniforms.

2013 ALL-STAR GAME(TM) LOGO CONTEST

Major League Baseball has formally announced that Citi Field will be the site of the 2013 All-Star Game. (see video) In light of this, I have decided to launch an All-Star Game logo contest. To help get you started, I provided all of you with a sample All-Star Game logo. (click here to embiggen) If you wish to participate, please enter your submission with an image below, in the comments section. The contest ends on May 31st. I will choose a select number of finalists, and the community will vote on which of those logos is the best one.

Can you create a better logo than the sample logo provided? Then, give it a shot. Good luck to all participants!
Jon Rauch is awesome. Dan Tanna is, obviously, a fan of Greg Pomes.
LET'S GO METS GIF

Click here to embiggen/view.

By the way, I need some help here - is there any way to make this gif go faster? The "Let's" and "Go" sequences are only supposed to be 500 milliseconds each, and "Mets" a full second. Instead, each sequence is at least a full 1000 milliseconds (1 second) longer than it should be.
The first picture of a not devastated Tom Glavine after Game 162 of 2007 has finally been released.

(This is an old and kind of out of left field reference, but hey, we're playing the Marlins right now and John Maine just got released, so it's sort of relevant, plus I spent approximately 6.5 minutes making it and felt like I had to share.)
