He is ridiculous

JP Morgan’s predatory lending is to blame for his stupidity…..that’s a good one Lenny.

When banks denied sub prime loans in the 80's

They were accused of racism.

Predatory lending is a big problem

But I can’t imagine how it would have affected Lenny’s investments specifically.

I looooooved this quote
These people, some of the stuff I read, I don’t read much because I feel bad for my eyes, but I see some of the stuff, it’s insanity! The only one that got this thing right was [Jim] Cramer. Cramer. Cramer has been the only guy right."

I can think one thing Cramer got wrong, at least: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo77x4VeoQE

Yeah the only reason he is kissing Cramer's back side is because

Cramer kissed Lenny’s butt, by giving him some air time so he could inflate one of his stock picks. A tug for a tug, if you will.

LOL, Yeah this 60 minutes piece is a classic. Nothing says bubble economy like this video. A great window into a time period

Not only is he doing well, he is one of the great ones. He is one of the great ones.

I love it!

Another one I love:

Dykstra has a complex stock picking philosophy that he tried to explain to me to absolutely no avail.

The best was when Cramer was on The Daily Show

Jon Stewart wasn’t particularly pleased with Cramer if I remember correctly.

Oh you remember correctly

And remember that Jon is one of us. Yeah Yankees, you might have Billy Crystal but we have motherf**ing Jon Stewart.

I know

Jon Stewart’s my homeboy, even if the one time I went to see the Daily Show I arrived an hour before anyone else and got stuffed in the corner and was blocked the entire time by the camera. I get it’s a free show and all, but I waited in line for 3 and a half freakin’ hours and they couldn’t give us front in the middle? The people behind us got front row in the middle. That was poor Jon Stewart, that was poor.

An even better Cramer clip

I heard this live

Nails is out of his mind.

How Darren Daulton can think the world is ending next year and openly admit (on video) that he’s traveled – via mind waves composed of light – to the future and back… and be considered the less crazy ’93 Phillie…. is mind boggling.

You've never traveled via mindwaves composed of light?

You need to look into that man. It’s pretty awesome. Except that every time I do it I end up in Detroit without my wallet. Needless to say I’m kind of pissed at the universe about that.

Oh no, I've done it...

I just don’t share it with the ESPN cameras…

I usually end up on my couch surrounded by fritos….

…without my wallet.

Wait a minute?

That was you?!? Dude, sorry about your fish tank.

This is interesting

Whenever I travel to the future by mindwaves made of light, I always comeback with 2 extra wallets.

I hate you so much

So much. You know what I had to do to get a new driver’s license and credit card?

Hey,

Be thankful I didn’t use any of your cards and ruined your credit rating, I just took the cash.

Son of a bitch... MY cards got used...

$657 at a “Steak House”?! I know what that means! I hope the champaign room was worth it, A-hole…

and who in the hell are you calling in Micronesia?! Seriously?!

I know

That hurts. One day it will be former [not Met] Jose Reyes too.

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.
