Honestly

Do they not proof-read before they publish things on that site?

They honestly don't

Here's your 'justification':

“Quite often I will type so fast that I’ll mispell a word, unknowingly goof up a stat, etc., because my goal is to convey an idea, link or moment and get content up as quickly as I can.” Coincidentally the title includes an extraneous capitalization: This is a Blog

Spell checking is false hustle.

Gary Cohen: What's wrong with the script?
Ralph Kiner: Well the script should be the Mets win every day.

Correct spelling is the new market 'ineficiency' (sic)

What does Kevin

think about the lack of proofreading?

What's that about?

Kevin wants to ignore proofreading now and three years from now!

It's one thing to leave a typo or spelling/grammar error if you can't alter it or you are in a rush to get it out.

But, it’s another thing to not correct that error when someone brings attention to it. That’s just unfortunate.

Now, kids, being eaten by a crocodile is just like going to sleep; in giant blender.

Journal Entry:

Dear Diary,
It is the second day of my long journey on MetsBlog, and they stil have not fixed the title over 24 hours after publishing it. Food is scarce, and I am losing brain power.

I think it's fine.

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!
