Woah, woah, woah.

Giuseppe Franco?

John Olerud, Hall of Famer. Got a nice ring to it.

Nor does he know anything about it.

Seriously. Ask Gary Busey.

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

The 2009 New England Patriots: At least we got our division title back

The 2009-10 New Jersey Devils: 15 games to go!

That was the part that always blew me away.

Seriously, Gary Busey?

You guys realize

since those commercials stopped playing just everything has gone down hill. Get the fucking Giusseppe Franco commercial back on SNY.

Keith? Seriously Keith? And not, say, Gary? Or Ron?

Gil Hodges IS a Hall of Famer.

Gary's not an analyst.

I think Mike Emrick got the nod for play-by-play guy.

I know you don’t like him, but Keith really is very good at analysis and he’s entertaining. Ron’s very good as well and I’m pretty sure already has an Emmy of his own.

Analysis? seriously?

I could see him getting an award for (off-) color commentary, but that seems like a separate thing to me.

Keith does provide very good analysis

provided that he is paying attention to the game that night. How often do we hear Keith say something like…. " Hey Gar, how’d that play go on the scorecard? I wasn’t paying attention."

yeah, as long as the game is interesting to him

he provides good info. Where players are positioned, hitting mechanics, pitcher/catcher stuff.

Emmys are decided on the basis of submissions, right? So he could possibly have won on just a couple of games of really good info.

by SuperT on Apr 19, 2010 3:53 PM EDT up reply actions  

Rec'd

for off-colour commentary. Bang on!

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.
