I wonder if anyone here

has presented Dickey with any of the insanity that he gets photoshopped into for an autograph? I’d go ape shit if I ever got a glossy of the Dicknotoad signed by him!!

Yeah, I think in Sam's interview, he mentioned that Dickey knew about the contest.

When I try out for the school team next month

I will do my best Dickey Face and the coach will have to pick me!

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.

by Bobby Baseball on Feb 22, 2011 9:07 AM EST reply actions  

This is the first Dickey face of the year and my heart is broken...

It looks like he didn’t move a muscle in his face all offseason and let them all spasm in one gigantic Dickeygasm…

How will he ever be able to repeat of even better that face this entire season? I am heartbroken :(

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!
