This presents such a huge dilemma

Three 2B, yet they all can’t bat second… or can they?

You can now have one bat 2nd pretty much every inning

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

My latest and greatest masterpiece. Motivated by RA Dickey's Darth Vader impersonation. Definitely my most challenging work yet, so I hope you all enjoy. I've upped my crazy levels to plaid speed for this one. As a note, there is sound, so make sure the speakers are on!

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!
