never talk about Amazin’ Avenue.

No, I think thats Amazin' Street

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.

I thought the first rule of Amazin' Avenue was

“do not demand we trade David Wright”.

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

Weird.

I thought the first rule of Amazin’ Avenue was “thou shalt not disrespect the Carlos Beltran.”

How do you pronounce "Franceour"?

I’m imagining it as “Francie-Eeyore.”

Wow.

I spent about five minutes trying to formulate a good response, but words failed me. Disgust, anger, disappointment, and WTF? are the only emotions I feel inside, looking at that.

Kinda like the "the situation" workout video

I wasn’t angry… just… disappointed.

That video was awesome (in that kind of way), with me liking Jersey Shore and all.

See, I'm an "angry" person by default

so if I ever actually sat down and watched that show, the people in my immediate vicinity would most probably suffer both mental and physical trauma.

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.
