Wow, that one was quick.

The following should definitely appear on Jeopardy...
ANSWER: They were invented in Philadelphia by the city's favorite icon Benjamin Franklin. However, they are very rarely used by people in the city and its surrounding areas.
QUESTIONS: What are logic, reason, and rational thought?

2010: Year of the Grission

Holy sub .300 OBP, Batman!

Just as quick as he came, Omir goes back to the minors to fight crime and promote a grissiony, replacement-level world for all of man-kind.

Any particular reason you hate Reyes and Wright so much?

There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ

The 2010 Mets- Hey, we may suck, but what did you expect?

Points for consistency.

Negative points for willfully ignoring the long-standing contest between Santos and Frenchy to make some inane ombudsmanny point.

Reyes .293 OBP gets no respect

His various other statistics, awards, records, and accolades do, however.

Here yeah.

But in the MSM and to the casual fan, he gets no respect. Even from 06-08 all I heard was that he’ll be great when he lives up to his potential and stops behaving like a child.

My little brother makes me so so proud. I should put that on a tee-shirt.

by IanB in MD on Jun 6, 2010 8:44 PM EDT reply actions  

If you don't put that on a shirt, i will.

Your xmas present this year will be a shirt that says “My little brother makes me so proud.” The back of the shirt will be Mike Francesa glowering with disapproval.

was at the game today

at first I thought Omir was coming up to bat when it was Tatis, kind of wish he had been given one at-bat.

Apparently no need

for short swings today.

WARCoeur is VICTORIOUS!

His “Grisson” is so great, Omir ran back to the minors when he saw he needed an upgrade of New “Grisson”.

that was a nice head you had there omir… before your decapitation anyway, hahahahahahaha

HELLO HELLO MR WILPON... BUY THAT MANSION. WE DONT NEED A CONDO.

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.
