optimistic

he’ll likely end up on the DL from an injury sustained during the physical before we sign him.

I didn't know grission can put you on the DL.

grission overload is a serious problem

symptoms include a dirty jersey, a winning attitude, being a gamer, a percieved increase in player value to Mets management, and having intangibles.

Question for fxcarden...

Do you play fantasy baseball? I’m looking for one more player for my league next year.

he probably wouldn't want to but i would.

More interesting is Maine.

Here’s hoping he doesn’t pull a Carl Pavano with those $3.3 million dollars.

so Eric Brynes

is DFA’d and the D’Backs are on the hook for his ’10 salary. Mets can sign him for the league minimum ala the 09 Gary Sheffield.

Might not be a bad idea for the Mets to take a $400,000 flyer on him if he’ll accept being the 4th OF. He’s always been one of the best defensive OFs in the game, even while playing on weak legs the past two years.

The biggest question mark would be what’s left in his bat. Before the hammy’s, he was an offensive force in 06 and 07.

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:

No. 2: Tomorrow

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.
