Hey, wait! I'm having one of those things. You know? A headache with pictures?

What is scary is

Joel Zumaya actually has a repertoire.

That's 144, right? Not a typo?

Holy shit, 144…

That is not a typo.

Zumaya is a beast when healthy.

I know he's a certified flame thrower, bar none

144 is just…inconceivable…

I thought Zumaya threw faster at Citi Field. I guess not.

I really glad I saw Zumaya pitch but it suck he’s hurt.

Nice Grandma's Boy reference.

I’m sure I’m the only one who got it, though. I can’t figure out how no one has seen that movie.

Probably because it isn't any good.

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

During that game, there were all sorts of indications that the gun wasn't working....

In the Gamethread some folks pointed out readings that could not possibly be correct, I believe even before Parnell came in.

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.
