This is so awesome.

As long as I can remember,

I always wanted to be a GM.

May you be locked in a battle of wits against Jerry Manuel.

This reeks of proper win.

Proud supporter of a New York baseball team and a Boston football team. Yeah, deal with it!

Omar...

someone needs to put together a youtube of Sandy cleaning house

While the piano part of “Layla” plays in the background, we have a montage of Oliver Perez found in a dumpster, Luis Castillo frozen in a meat locker, etc. etc.

With a riff as great as Layla's

There’s no reason there should be 3 minutes guitar and four minutes piano.

If folks want to talk Goodfellas....

I’m all for it. Let’s see.

We could have a scene where Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz beat up the Citi Field mailman and tell him never to deliver trade offers involving players like Frenchy.

Instead of a Pittsburgh connection for blow, we could do a scene involving meeting guys from Pittsburgh to steal talent cheap.

And most importantly, we need to take back that damn “Jiiiiiiimmmyyyyyy” clip from Phillies fans.

Instead of the Pittsburgh connection

there could be a Montreal connection

No thanks

Our last Montreal connection didn’t go so well for us.

May you be locked in a battle of wits against Jerry Manuel.

you know things dont end well for any of those guys right?

i mean, howd you like to go out and order spaghetti and marinara and get egg noodles and ketchup? i should think not.

HELLO HELLO MR WILPON... BUY THAT MANSION. WE DONT NEED A CONDO.

Take my word for it, when I say that it's for the best. Here's the revised schedule:

No. 1: Today at 5:00 PM EDT
No. 2: Tomorrow
No. 3: Thursday

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.
