and people complained that the stadium wasn’t “Mets-centric” enough…

LoDuca's gone, remember?

When did they sign "Ivanko"?

And how does he get three different uniform numbers?

The Nye Mets are my favorite squadron.

seriously though

Those plates are $4+/lb instead of $2+/lb for the regular grade, and the engraving is $20 per plate. That’s a pricey weight room…

I'd love to see the Metsblog reaction

when Wilpon announces that all the money putting into the engraved weights is what convinced him not to let Omar sign Manny

You don't think they get a discount for buying bulk?

and maybe there’s even more of a price cut by making Ivanko the official barbell of the New York Mets.

That is awesome!

Glad they didn’t put the stupid patch on the plates.

At 5:30 PM EDT today Starting today at 5:00 PM EDT, witness one of the greatest renderings of visual sound effects ever!

UPDATE 1: My browser has crashed several times in the process from all the rants (FUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!) - as a result, there will instead be 4 or 5 separate installments of fxcarden's Nightly Rants! from 2011, with a similar pattern for the 2012 rants. Take my word for it, when I say that it's for the best. Here's the revised schedule:

Volume 1: 2011
No. 1: Today at 5:00 PM EDT
No. 2: Tomorrow
No. 3: Thursday
No. 4 and No. 5 (?) TBD

UPDATE 2: Vol. I, No. 1 (July, 2011) is now up!
