We knew it was coming. He has never appeared in the majors and turned 31 on Sunday.

Let's hear it for the old guy

who can hit a lot. Watch Jerry let him rot on the bench.

One day, this team is going to kill me.

Good for him

Gotta love the guys who stick around and finally make it. Well deserved.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.

At least he will get a good seat to watch the game

Then a business class seat back to Buffalo

He may not be much

But it’s better than watching GMJoke flail away. Congrats to Jesus.

We already knew Jesus could hit

as long as he was an Alou.

Hopefully he actually gets a chance to play once in a while

And isn’t buried on the bench

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

i was just going to say that i’m assuming we’re going to bring him up and bench him for the week

I support Jenrry Mejia as a starter. Screw you Jerry Manuel for thinking he's a set-up man.

Good, then we're covered both ways.

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

congrats to him

Wonder if Nelson Figgy’s comments had anything to due with it when he stated. The organization plays favorites with the players in the minors. Promoting who they want and not who deserves a shot. He even dropped Felicano name saying all this guy does is hit and he keeps getting over looked.

by TheKid08 on Jun 7, 2010 11:38 PM EDT reply actions  

not at all

more out of need – they needed to get rid of GMJ and they needed someone who could play CF to replace him.

by astromets on Jun 8, 2010 12:08 AM EDT up reply actions  

Jesus has finally risen from the depth!

Let us rejoice in his near .400 batting average, and hope he can make a smooth transition.

Congratulations Jesus

Here’s hoping you get some at bats now

by Billy M on Jun 8, 2010 12:13 AM EDT reply actions  

My only concern is that this better not cut into Carter's AB's

Carter pinch hits twice a week. So hopefully Feliciano can just be here for insurance purposes only if Pagan goes down and not eat into Carter’s weekly regimen.

by TheKid08 on Jun 8, 2010 12:25 AM EDT reply actions  

thats your concern?

they are both bench players in the majors, platoon at best. whoever is hot will get the at bat

by astromets on Jun 8, 2010 1:57 PM EDT up reply actions  

Both Jesus and Carter hit righties better than they hit lefties,

though neither is hopeless against lefties. The bench is actually tolerable now:

Carter, Feliciano, Tatis, Cora, Blanco. That’s three guys who can hit, and a good defensive catcher who’s not much of a hitter, but isn’t an automatic out.

by Jack Str on Jun 9, 2010 4:10 AM EDT up reply actions  

Congrats to Jesus.

All we ask is that you’re better than GMJ. Lucky for you, that’s a low bar.

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

If Jesus replaced GMJr

Does that make GMJr the anti-Christ?

by Dan Lewis on Jun 8, 2010 9:42 AM EDT reply actions  

Well, he's already the Baseball Anti-Christ.

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

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.
