yea i was thinking home run apple sized maybe

this is ridiculous

the question is

HOLY SWEET JESUS CHRIST ON A FUCK WHAT

Seriously, I was imagining that terror-thing being like, maybe 15 feet tall. It’s more like 80 feet.

Holy christ, that thing looks even stupider when it's that size.

Ya know what, Berg has swayed me

Yes, it’s stupid, but it’s awesomely stupid. If you’re gonna go ridiculous, go big or go home, and they went big. That thing is gonna be amazingly hilarious every time someone hits a home run. It’s not classy, elegant, or even that nice looking, but it’s fun and that’s all that really matters.

I wonder if people in Montreal look at this monstrosity

and go into a full outrage, smashing everything in sight. There’s nothing fun about this garish hunk of junk, the mere existence of it infuriates me.

it would have been great karma

If at some point, MLB had forced out Loria (as they did Frank McCourt) and sold the team to Montreal owners. Montreal had better fans than the Marlins have ever had.

Mark Cuban for owner! Save us from the Wilpons!

Ill bet Marlins home run totals at home go WAY down this year

just so the players don’t have to witness that thing in full motion

And we will all be crying unconsolably everytime Jose gaps one since the wall looks stupidly far from home plate

The circus has come to Miami.

That really is kind of tacky. Reminds me of a slot machine going off when there’s a jackpot winner.

Horrifying...in every sense of the word.

And it doesn’t help that by judging the seating structure, the stadium looks more like an arena for a low-rent minor league hockey team.

Proud supporter of a New York baseball team and a Boston football team. Yeah, deal with it!

I was relieved

After clicking the link, actually. Because for some reason, I thought Creed was going to come 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!
