Display:

except his idea of defying the closer role

is bringing him in with a huge lead and sitting him with the game tied.

wishful thinking...

Where was our best reliever in the 9th inning of a tie game against Florida? Watching Pedro Feliciano and Darren O’Day blow the game. Presumably, waiting for a “save opportunity” that never came.

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!

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.)
