Around SBN: Chan Sung Jung Wins Thriller Over Dustin Poirier

omar must be fired

Y is it that no one in the media the last 2 years has blamed this guy for the september meltdowns. The only good move this guy has made in his 4 years as Gm is getting johan. Signing Oliver (the mental midget ) perez to a 3 year 36 million dollar contract in the offseason hopefully will result in his demise. Please Freddy wilpon get rid of this bum, Blow up the team core and rebuild around reyes, Murphy, Beltran, wright, and johan.

Ummmm.... how do you blow up the team core...

And then rebuild around that core?

I probably shouldn’t have even responded to this one.

at least

this post has a different title from the user’s name.

Yes, I am grateful at least for that. But srsly, Eric and other mods, maybe we can institute a delay after signing up before users are allowed to post their first FanPost? I think a hard-limit 3-5 day “LURK MOAR” policy would be good for everyone at this point. Maybe we can get fewer Yahoos and more Hounyhms into our ranks that way.

Maybe there could be a "Scotty Hyperbole" post

Where people can incessantly make comments like “The only good move this guy has made in his 4 years as Gm is getting johan.”

you know what we need?

The “sandbox” like Sons of Sam Horn has where these newbies can post stuff like this until they get with the program. Make it so, Eric!

2009 Mets: maybe its the Phillies turn to have a terrible bullpen?

as much fun as these posts can be

requiring new members to go through a short probation period is probably a good idea. at least it would gives these folks time to look around the site and reconsider their eponymous, pseudo-core-breaking posts.

Yes, PLEASE.

I personally enjoyed the part

where he only capitalized the names for “Murphy” and “Beltran” but not “reyes,” “wright,” or “johan”. Apparently pitchers and infielders don’t count as proper nouns anymore.

by Mark Himmelstein on May 3, 2009 4:27 PM EDT up reply actions  

Blow up the core, huh?

But then rebuild around Reyes, Wright, Beltran, Murphy, etc.? Umm…that actually makes sense, but not at all.

maybe the core =

Cora. He wants us to blow up Alex Cora

The thing I love about all of this

is that they’re realizing it NOW. Like before, they were thrilled to get Ollie, because he was the next Sandy Koufax. And why are they posting these on here continuously? Do you think maybe they think we’re the Mets management?

Why

it was the Amazin’ Avenue Site Bot, of course. It’s autonomous and hates Scotties.

by Eric Simon on May 3, 2009 11:51 PM EDT up reply actions  

Site Bot

Makes me want to make a vitriolic post just so I can taunt the site bot.

by Lunkwill Fook on May 5, 2009 9:21 AM EDT up reply actions  

I just caught up with the latest round of

Scotties. There’s some comic gold in there. Kind of like the Roundtine/Ovaltine comic gold in Seinfeld.

Is it me

Or does the generic SB nation backwards hat guy kind of look like Barack Obama?

by TedBerg on May 5, 2009 4:55 PM EDT reply actions  

That's who I always thought it was

what with the SB nation being co-founded by the Daily Kos guy and what not.

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.)
