I think I saw Jerry urinating on that brick on Opening Day

More Figgy from David Lennon: “Obviously, Figgy is not better that Ollie.”

That doesn’t seem all that obvious to me.

The opposite seems more likely

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

I think he's confused

as to why Ollie is still on this team.

Reyes, Thole, Wright, Beltran, Bay, Davis, Martinez, Tejada...

again David Lennon works for a paper that no one reads.

And I mean nobody. Why do we care about anything this guy says?

Good point

I don’t know why I read his Twitter, it just gets me mad. I will try to stop. Thank you for talking some sense into me.

Hmm.

Philly would claim it off of waivers and find a place for it at CBB?

An April 29, 2009

Jerry Manuel told my son to get out of the batter’s box while his light-hitting backup took a half an hour to walk in from the bullpen to pinch-hit. Ramon Castro Sr.

Hah

This could be a fun game. How about "My son called me up and told me that Nick Evans had just been sent down to the minors. I said who is Nick Evans? Nick Evans Sr. "

My son called me and said he had been signed by the New York Mets. I didn’t understand why, either.

Omar & Jerry are conspiring to drive me to drink. That, or they're just honestly totally incompetent.

That's both heartwarming and sad at the same time.

Way to go, Omar. You think Sean Green’s parents are ever going to buy a brick like that?

No, but we could all pitch in and buy one saying

On Wednesday, April 9, 2009, Sean Green pitched for the Mets, and I died inside.

On November 29, my son shot a deer

Outstanding

If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

This is the most epicest win ever!

My son took the first step to following in my footsteps by being signed to an amateur free agent contract by the New York Mets. I love him with all my heart and all my soul, and I’m sure he’ll end up in the big leagues like his old man some day.

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

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.
