Around SBN: Shaq As Orlando Magic General Manager? Don't Bet On It

I would think this means he's going to get more playing time at the expense of Barajas, so that's cool. What are the chances they take this to the logical conclusion and DFA Barajas?

what's not cool is if ike or Wright need a day off or god forbid have to leave the game

you have who playing 1st and 3rd? Blanco and Cora? Jerry mismanagement has ruined the bullpen, line-up, now the bench. Logic suggests Nieve sent down and replaced with yes Nick Evans who plays both 1st and 3rd.

Ollie can play third

just watch

Gas prices today are a lot like a pitcher's ERA. Anything under 3 is amazing, under 4 is pretty good and anything 5 and up is something you want to avoid.

Can Ollie bunt?

Son, when you participate in sporting events, it's not whether you win or lose : it's how drunk you get.

Why is Fernando Nieve

still here?

He must do favors for Jerry

You know what I mean.

Probably standard stuff like picking up his dry cleaning, walking his dog, etc.

Nah, definitely more soul-crushing, humiliating stuff

like driving family members to the airport.

Save Jenrry Mejia!

Nah

he’s probably got some incriminating pictures of Jerry or something. Or he’s planning on filing a lawsuit against the mets for being so overused the first 2 months of the season and keeping him on the roster is the only way to keep him from going to court.

so what will come first a walk or an out

I want to know who thinks Ollie will record an out before a walk when he pitches next.

I am betting on a walk 1st, and that he gives up a run his first time back on th emound

by Rickfansince76 on Jul 21, 2010 8:39 AM EDT reply actions  

I was right the walk came 1st

single, walk, out walk out, out

then a K, HBP

so he recordeed 4 outs, 2BB 1 K and 4 guys reached base. 3.00 WHIP and 0.00 ERA somehow

by Rickfansince76 on Jul 22, 2010 6:54 AM EDT up reply actions  

see, NOW we know

why the team has been losing!

The 25 man should be:

Turner, not Barajas

Evans, not Cora

Valdez, not Ollie

A starter not currently on our team (Lilly?), not Nieve; Tak2 to the pen.

Good thing we have three catchers.

Next time we have a 20-inning game, looks like we’ll be alright…

Did I read the box score from tonight correctly?

I see that Thole pinch-hit, but can it really be right that Barajas caught all fourteen innings?

Who needs three catchers!

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.
