So

Dear Mets,

For the preservation of my sanity, please win today. I really don’t care how ugly it is.

Thanks

Johan will pitch seven shutout innings for the win!

And begin the dominant second half everyone expects him to have.

Yes, I like Jeff Francoeur and listen to WFAN. No, I am not a troll.

That's okay.

I never found him that attractive anyway.

Not only does Justin Turner start

but Manuel bats him second. Jerrybot says 2nd baseman MUST BAT SECOND.

Hey guys, the G-men really need this sweep today to keep pace with the Padres

I wish they'd stop saying Sanchez and Perez are anything alike.

If you’ve got to include them in the same sentence, it should be “Oliver Perez is a poor poor man’s version of Jonathan Sanchez.”

Ollie Perez is a rich man’s version of Sanchez since he’s making 12 million a year.

If this game went on past 8

would they have had to black out the game because ESPN would have the exclusive rights

Also

that’s why I knew that when he was doing fairly well last year it was a mixed blessing because I know that Omar would think that RF was set.

to account for the jet stream

otherwise, it would play like “Wrigley 2” to the third power

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.
