Heyyyy

I was at this game too! It was my first trip to Citi, but I neglected to bring a camera to share my experience. I was about 5 rows up in Left Field, and had a phenomenal time, except for the whole “watching a loss while sitting next to my buddy who’s a Yankee fan” thing.

Oh God, James, the ThunderGod shirt?

Did you see it for $5 on clearance at the team store on the lower level?

Trying to believe is my full-time occupation.

Is it still available in the team store?

Shit. I need to get my hands on one before they’re all gone/incinerated.

It was in Februrary-ish

but they changed the layout of the team store because of the museum, so I don’t don’t where it would be now. But yeah, the $5 Omir shirts were not exactly flying off the shelves. There was a handful of them left at the time.

Think they're all gone.

When I went, I looked for them in the store, and i didn’t find any. Guess there’s some African village where Omir Santos is a very popular player/religious object.

May you be locked in a battle of wits against Jerry Manuel.

Those seats are about 3 sections over from mine.

I am closer to the foul pole.

Small world.

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:

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.
