Around SBN: What If This Is It For The Celtics? End Of An Era Looming

"The video shows the boy with a plastic beer bottle in his right hand, drinking from the bottle. He appears to be between three and four years old, and he is wearing a white Phillies home jersey."

Far be it from me to defend Philly

but we don’t actually know there was beer in the bottle. It wouldn’t be the first time that someone had refilled a bottle with sometime other than its original contents. Certainly could be that the kid’s father bought himself a beer and the kid a soda, then when the kid finished the soda he bought himself another beer and filled the first beer bottle with water from a water fountain.

Why not use the soda cup?

Either way its just stupid for a parent to do that, but then again it’s Phlthy so…

Save Jenrry Mejia!

you kidding?

of course the dad will probably say something like that but a) do they even have water fountains at the park, and b) why would you refill a beer bottle?

Class act philly

Plus ever since getting caught cheating stealing signs they can’t hit or win. Think its a little ironic.

Not ironic (by definition of the word)

Appropriate may be more, well, appropriate.

There was NO LIQUID IN THAT BOTTLE!

I looked at the video over and over again and I saw no sign of any movement within that bottle or any bubbles that form from someone taking a swig. That Bottle was EMPTY and the kid was simply playing(probably practicing for when he grows up, goes to college, and gets wasted).

I hate Philly as much as the next Mets fan but let’s be realistic here.

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.
