Wow Terry

Way to avoid most of the questions and be as vague as possible. Also, some of those questions have 1. already been answered in the media and 2. were very bland.

boilerplate answers to almost every question

Not that the questions

really left him much room to be creative or interesting.

Well, that was mildly interesting

None of those answers worried me, at least. Glad to see they’re thinking Murphy will be main second baseman. And I hope they perfect the damn bunt in ST, so they can stop using it. I still like Terry as skipper for these rebuilding years; it must be hard to keep players motivated with so much unpleasantness surrounding the team constantly off the field, but TC seems up to 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!
