Around SBN: The Most Dangerous Division in Sports

This morning I was thinking about last month's community projection for Carlos Beltran. I went back to see how we all did now that we have passed the midpoint of his shortened season, based on results to date. Result: turrible. After 156 ABs his slash line is .217/.333/.326. We predicted, collectively, .275/.355/.455. From what I can see the halftime winner of said predictive contest was David Wrong, Jason K, Jeff Franc0-fer, who guessed .253/.303/.391. In an incredibly sad turn of events, this now-apparently optimistic guess was based on Frenchy's then slash line. There is little I can add to that observation.

My prediction was among the worst.

Consequences will never be the same.

Sigh

I don’t think anyone of us understood how much the brace would limit him, and just how unready he was to face RHP.

There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ

The 2010 Mets- Hey, we may suck, but what did you expect?

I went low, but not THAT low, fer crying out loud.

It just seemed like you couldn’t take being Carlos Beltran away from him.

But now… even that’s… [brace yourself] gone.

Hey, at least he beat my prediction of .000/.000/.000 with 175 sacrifice bunts.

That’s something I guess (or maybe not).

The one and only mistermet on teh Interwebz!

There's still more time...

I came pretty close with the OBP (.330, as opposed to his .333), anyway.

My 1.000/1.000/4.000

Was waaaaay off.

Ryan Miller was the true MVP.
I really hate Jerry.

I kinda felt CB wasn't ready anyway

the guy had a serious knee operation after all. the fact he is playing baseball at 30% is still better than the guy in RF….
In time, CB might be healthy enough to be effective again.

Take my word for it, when I say that it's for the best. Here's the revised schedule:

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.
