Santana's High Fives Briefly Profiled in SI

It's nice to read an article that profiles Johan's antics nicely without drawing stupid conclusions.

In addition, if you have access to a print version, you can see photos of his celebratory handshakes from after his final start of 2008 (the complete game, 3-hit shutout)

Santana profiled in SI...

Surgery on Thursday to remove the hand that does the shakes.

you know what I'm sayin' ?

He wasn't on the cover...

It's a good thing we have A leader.

I bet Santana doesn’t choke in September, like a certain David WRONG. If you can’t hit .500+, get outta here.

On MLB Network's sabermetric-themed show Clubhouse Confidential (@CHConfidential), host Paul Severino talks about the changes to Citi Field's dimensions and the potential impact these changes could have on the New York Mets, citing recent historical examples from similar changes to other ballparks, and the impact of those changes on the respective teams that play there. Guest Bill Petti (our very own Bill Petti) discusses the potential impact of the changes to Citi Field's dimensions in-depth, and gives insightful analysis on how these changes could benefit the oft-maligned New York Mets, whose bad luck is often attributed to the unforgiving intricacies of the outfield at Citi Field.

Santana's Season in Jeopardy?

by Steve Schreiber about 1 year ago 13 comments

HOUSE: PREVENTION & RECOVERY (A "House" Movie Event) When a local baseball team starts coming down with mysterious ailments that seemingly refuse to heal, Dr. House (Hugh Laurie) and his team are called in to solve the problem. The task seems easy at first, but soon the team realizes just how difficult it is to keep these guys healthy. Just when the team solves one problem, another arises. The problems get worse when a fist fight breaks out in the hospital lounge. With incurable concussions, paper thin ligaments, disintegrating knees and hot-headed Venezuelans facing him at every turn, will House be able to get any of these guys back on the field for Spring Training? embiggen

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 (?)

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!
