this has "being shut out" written all over it

John Olerud, Hall of Famer. Got a nice ring to it.

no-no?

I don’t think there’s any chance it actually happens but it would pretty much be the perfect ribbon on the year.

is there any way omar/jerry survive that?

i mean, come on. they fucked up a roster situation when they could’ve easily kept figgy. it’s not like he makes/breaks our season, but he probably would’ve been preferable to Mejia/Dessens etc.

Please stop saying “is there any way Omar/Jerry survive?” or anything like that. Yes, they will survive. They are like roaches: impossible to eliminate.

Oddly, I’d like to see Figueroa get a no-no.

Love to see it, too.

I’d also love to see him back on the Mets roster next year. Not going to happen, but despite being jerked around by a couple of different teams this year his numbers having been perfectly okay.

At least half the teams in the majors would improve this offseason by signing Figgy to a 1/1 contract, putting him in the fifth slot in the rotation, and letting him take his turn until he runs out of gas.

Of course they'd survive that

They’d survive the Mets losing 3 straight perfect games, all 12-0. They’re like Jason fucking Voorhees: they can never be killed, never be stopped, never reasoned with.

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

OMG

We are screwed.

Consequences will never be the same.

call me a cock-eyed optimist, but

i think we beat up on him rather well. prediction: mets win 8-5

yeah

the 2-3 hitter shut down after the first is coming.

BUT on the other hand Wright and Beltran looked alive yesterday.

True

Plus Johan can swing a bat.

Save Jenrry Mejia!

by Ogre39666 on Aug 17, 2010 8:44 PM EDT up reply actions  

Tonight's lineup

Reyes
F!
Wright
Beltran
Davis
Frenchy
Thole
Tejeda
Santana

So, no Pagan.

If there's ever a riot at Citi Field and Oliver Perez was the starter, I started the riot.

by meigs1414 on Aug 17, 2010 4:47 PM EDT reply actions  

gotta get Frenchy those at bats

John Olerud, Hall of Famer. Got a nice ring to it.

by squid92 on Aug 17, 2010 5:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

The fun never ends. Do we know why the F man is batting second and Thole,

with the highest OBP on the team, is batting seventh—is it because he’s a catcher and catcher’s aren’t allowed to bat second?

Plus, I’m looking forward to seeing Tejada jack his OPS all the way to .500 and locking down a starting spot on the team next year.

by Jack Str on Aug 17, 2010 6:27 PM EDT up reply actions  

Better him than Luis again

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

by BobbyV_Incognito on Aug 17, 2010 6:45 PM EDT up reply actions  

True, but not nearly as good as seeing what Satin and Turner can do.

There’s a cost, as B James said, to platooning in the middle of your DP combo, but the Mets should all but hand those two the position for 2011 if they’re not going to go shopping in the offseason for a 2bman.

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.
