My favorite might be the narcissist who created a hastag for himself.

The nice thing about Twitter is that it’s a great litmus test; when someone tells you they’re on Twitter, you can probably avoid interacting with them for the rest of your life.

I know, at least one of my closest friends has 2 accounts (one's for work).

But I did say ‘probably’.

@Mets Terry, now that Tejada is of legal age do you think he’ll score more at the bars or on the field in 2012?

Eh, they're not that big. Mine are bigger, or at least hairier.

Do so many people really think this team is a lock to lose 100 games?

I think we’re a low 70s winning team. 90 loses, sure, but 100, I don’t think we’re that bad.

If the injury rate continues

we could get dangerously close.

Well yeah

If Wright and Davis are out for extended periods, we’re screwed, but both their injuries were freak things and neither has a track record of injuries.

by Evan_S on Jan 21, 2012 5:30 PM EST up reply actions  

In 2011 the Mets had

- injuries to Murphy, Wright, and Reyes
- Regression from Bay, Pagan, Wright, Thole, Gee, and “Opening Day ace” Mike Pelfrey
- Beltran and K-Rod traded at the deadline
- weak bench and backup catcher options
- Not a single pitch from Johan Santana
- Justin Turner getting the lion’s share of 2B time and Willie Harris leading the team in games played
- the LOLPen
- Injuries to Jenrry Mejia and Reese Havens preventing them from making the big league club

That sounds like a 100 loss club, doesn’t it?

I forgot about the injuries to Davis somehow

which might have been the worst thing to happen all year. Still didn’t lose 100.

I don't understand why people think we're a 100long loss team

Considering everything, that’s a dumb thing to think.

People are stupid about the relative importance of "stars"

I guess they think Reyes alone is worth like 18 wins

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!
