I hope Maine has back up career plans

They got him from Japan - didn't you hear about it!?

He played with the Chiba Lotte Marines (2006-2009), before he decided to void his contract prematurely for the remainder of 2009 (what was left of said contract), citing irreconcilable differences. Reportedly likes yakyuu and sushi.

Google cache search

It took me forever to find his player page, as it had been removed from the site, but looking long and hard on the Google page cache search recovered said player page (finally, after 20 or so min.)

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!
