On a more serious note

It’s nice to know that even with a lack of HRs in 2009 and a lower BA and more Ks in 2010, doesn’t keep Wright from still being the best over the past few seasons

Well

Most of that excellence comes from 06-08 where is was a top two or three player in baseball.

True

But that doesn’t stop me from loving the idea

What did that crappy MLB Network Top 100 countdown show rank him?

I think he was something like 45, or thereabouts. Still not bad.

In what world are there 44 players better than David Wright?

Unless they were counting pitchers too, then maybe and only if you’re basing the rankings on the last two seasons.

by Evan_S on Mar 9, 2011 9:11 PM EST up reply actions  

The count must have been done while he was recovering from the beaning

And he would regularly be found doing this because the doctor said he could have lots of ice cream

The premise of the show is that it's "Right Now", whatever that murkily entails.

I guess that’s basically the last season or two, with a little emphasis on the preceding few years to back up the claim. Jose Reyes was like 74 or something to that effect.

Every time I read this headline,

I think someone is arguing to trade a guy named David Wong.

"And that's why anybody who invested with Lenny Dykstra should really call that number. Lawyers are standing by."

My counter argument:

TRADE JEFF WILPON and his daddy.

Think David wouldn't mind a trade to the Red Sox with the Green monster out in left field

instead of the Grand Canyon.He’d become a Hall of Famer in Beantown and Boston has quality young players (pitching) to send to a rebuilding team.

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!
