Real classy bunch of fans over there.

Man, this photo is sad.

Howard’s injury looked unbelievably painful.

also

it makes me imagine that this is how Ike was getting around this year too…which makes me even sadder.

Should I feel bad for a Philly?

Because I kind of do…

yea, this

Howard is really the only Philly I don’t dislike. It doesn’t hurt that he has a terrible contract and the Philly fans are turning on him (I don’t dislike A-Rod either)

Time to update this: 2009 Did Not Happen. Neither did 2010. Or 2011. Sports suck.

This is far from the greatest cellphone pic ever taken.

BTW, how can you tell it’s Howard? I understand there’s probably not a lot of young-looking guys riding Rascals in Philly, but I can’t see anything to ID him in that photo.

I never noticed this before but

the ump’s reaction was over-the-top. In a good way.

I wish this GIF was like two second longer, so we could see the reaction of the crowd

LOL, as it is, I think the guy directly above the umpire fainted when he rung up Howard

Feel bad for Howard

Always came across as a nice guy to me…Philly fans who hate on him are honestly ridiculous.
Good, sometimes great player. Not a superstar player. Or something.

Yeah, not a superstar.

He’s only 65-70% of the player he used to be.

A lot of Philly fans are convinced he's worth the money

I don’t dislike him as much as utley, but I dislike him nonetheless.

Wow, how times change

this time last year, the Phillies fans talked about Ryan Howard with pride. Now, it’s verging on Luis Castillo levels (pre-6/12/09 levels, of course)

Phillies fans might officially be worse than Yankees fans. (In fact, I think that was even official this time last year.)

Too bad only one user can have it

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!
