at a minimum....

you know there will be one of these involved….

you know what I'm sayin' ?

also, an encore of Endy's catch is no longer possible

unless he agrees to have these implanted in the bottom of his feet….

you know what I'm sayin' ?

He did have "surgery" last year, no?

Perhaps, gentlemen, they’ve made him better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster, jump-ier.

If he signs with the Mets

I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that he elects not to rehab with the Mets’ medical staff.

You don't cheer for the Mets. You drink for the Mets.

by Kevin H on Feb 11, 2010 2:19 PM EST reply actions  

maybe the Mets plan this offseason

was to do all sorts of crazy stuff to confuse and annoy us, then sign Endy so we couldn’t stay mad at them. I hope we sign him, he gets healthy, and finds his way to the Mets 25 man roster ASAP.

I support this.

The news is so good, a description is really not necessary.

The 2010 New York Mets: Maybe it's the Phillies' turn to have 95% of its roster on the DL

If we sign endy

I hope it means that we can release GMJ is he’s not ITBSoHL. I’d rather not waste a roster spot on GMJ.

by Delgado on Feb 11, 2010 3:12 PM EST reply actions  

How much do you want to bet

that when Endy gets signed, and comes back, Pagan goes to AAA instead of GMJ

GMJr made a cool catch, once.

What has Pagan done? He can’t run the bases, has no baseball sense and I’m sure people accuse him of all other odd things that don’t make all that much sense.

I agree

plus I think Pagan falls into the “omars guys” categories.

My met excitement is at max

the lat good moment as mets fans we shared. endy’s catch. do it NOOOOOW!

by the caveman on Feb 11, 2010 5:16 PM EST reply actions  

don't get your hopes up

How can they have room for GMJr., Pagan and Endy on this team? And I don’t think Frenchy would like it if Endy was a late inning defensive replacement for him…

by Mackey Sasser on Feb 11, 2010 6:10 PM EST reply actions  

Well Endy likely would be on a minor league deal

And I don’t think Frenchy at this point in his career has much leverage for whining.

by Gina on Feb 11, 2010 6:14 PM EST up reply actions  

He has some leverage

He was signed partially because he’s so happy all the time. He can threaten to be less happy for the late innings.

by djg2111 on Feb 11, 2010 7:45 PM EST up reply actions  

Endy can't hit his weight.

I say move on, and remember “the catch” fondly.

you know what I'm sayin' ?

by fxcarden on Feb 11, 2010 6:34 PM EST up reply actions  

Endy's only like a buck 70.

It’s not like he’s Mo Vaughn, in which case it might be almost statistically impossible for him to hit his weight.

by BobbyV_Incognito on Feb 12, 2010 12:04 AM EST up reply actions  

Said Burkhardt tonight on SNY

The Mets told Chavez that they apparently aren’t interested because he won’t have an opportunity for playing time.

Trying to believe is my full-time occupation.

by Preach19 on Feb 11, 2010 8:08 PM EST reply actions  

that's a relief.

Did we really need to go back to Endy? I mean can’t aspire to players who are a little bit more well-rounded players?

by ThnkGoodnessforHowieRose on Feb 11, 2010 10:03 PM EST up reply actions  

In the role that we'd use him as, a late-innings defensive replacement, or possible pinch runner (or even bunter)

There aren’t very many people who are better, who are so easily obtainable. That’s assuming that he’s around as good as he was pre-surgery, of course. But, there’s no reason to believe those types of stats would completely fall off a cliff because of it.

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!

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.
