Around SBN: Eden Hazard In London For Medical, According To Reports

THT's Chris Jaffe uses purely unscientific means to narrow down the list of 10 guys whose names you'd only ever know because they turned a no-hitter into a one-hitter.

Of the 10 moments listed, four involve the Mets. That number goes up to 10 if you count ties, with only two of them occurring in the Mets' favor (Cleon Jones in 1965 and Anthony Young in 1992). And that's not even counting Kit Pellow busting up Tom Glavine's no-no bid in 2004...

This made me laugh
Finally, Tsao only had two hits in his entire career, but one of them prevented Steve Trachsel from throwing a no-hitter. I’m not sure which is more embarrassing, having the opposing pitcher ruin your no-hitter or being a team nearly no-hit by Steve Trachsel.

I’d go with the latter. Steve Trachsel had two one hitters in 2003, the aforementioned Tsao, and one against the Angels. I’ll let you guess who broke that up.

Jimmy Qualls and Mike Compton

apparently make Joe Wallis look good by comparison.

The least-likeliest guy is most likely to break up a no-hitter

Qualls, Pillow, Hoover, Hamels…

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

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!
