Welcome back Frank! It wouldn't be the same without you. Did your copy of the The Show 2012 arrive yet via carrier pigeon from Malaysia?

And perfect time to post this story:

New York Mets bullpen catcher Eric Langill, 32, was charged with DUI in a single-car rollover at a traffic circle Sunday night, according to sheriff's reports.
...
According to law enforcement reports, tire marks indicate that the white Honda Accord turned hard to the right as it approached the intersection, causing the car to go over a curb and hit a street sign and concrete fountain at the center of the traffic circle. That caused the car to flip upside down.
...
Langill attempted to leave the scene on foot and was stopped by the witnesses, according to the reports. A deputy quoted Langill as initially saying the accident occurred because a car cut him off as he was going home from a bowling alley.

LOLMets off to a great start.

And here's a trivia question:

Fourteen players with four or fewer letters in their last name have hit 40 home runs in a season. How many can you name? I got 7.

Now's your chance to get back into the race, or lengthen your lead over fellow Gaffers. Don't Google the answers, otherwise, your life will feel unfulfilled!

I got 7 as well

Spoiler

Babe Ruth and Sammy Sosa, and then I got stuck on Adam Dunn and can't think about anything but how disappointing he was last season... I didn't expect him to be amazing but never that bad lol... (ten min later) getting past that Derrek Lee, Jermaine Dye, Willie Mays, Carlos Pena

 

[The Frankman]

Welcome back, now is there any chance we can have The MLB Show 12 Mets Edition cover please? (My preference is Gary Carter or Dickey in that order). Thanks muchly.

Here you go.

My Dickey shops are looking very bleh, so I may request that one also.

 

[eznark]

Franks back!

gross

 

[The Frankman]

Hey I typed in "eznark racist" in Google Images, looked what was 1st!

 

[eznark]

Awesome! That's the greatest picture ever.

 

[BFIB]

The eyes. They are penetrating my soul.

 

[The Frankman]

If by "great" you mean "scary as Hell", sure. WTF, man? I haven't seen a pic that disturbing since the last time I played Doom 2 and 3.

 

[eznark]

Wait til I get one like that with a moose!!

 

[CygnusXS]

For real, Frank? I got to stare at that image every time I come onto this page now? (Well, I don't actually 'cause I adblocked it into oblivion, but what about the plebs who can't do that?)

 

[richiek]

Welcome back, Frank!

In honor of you, here's some pics of Citi Field's new outfield wall:

I'm really digging those blue walls. Reminds me of Shea.

 

[BFIB]

Someone needs to replace the deer head with Fielder and him being held by his 'fro.

 

[MrOogieBoogie]

I saw the "post the weirdest most disturbing anime gifs" thread title and my first reaction was "Frankman NOO!" then I realized that it was somebody else. Good to have you back.

Now, if the mods would kindly Free Pollo.

Who's making the season thread?

I'm "somebody else" now?

For shame.

 

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Wait... do you regularly search for mentions of your thread titles in other peoples' posts?

I like the way this man thinks. I think we have and early candidate for GAF Rookie Poster of the Year.

No, I just regularly lurk this thread and saw that.

From Rosenthal:

There are some people in the Braves organization that believe the team's 1-10 start has led to manager Fredi Gonzalez already being placed on "probation" internally. While spring training records certainly can't be taken all that seriously, losing 10 of your first 11 games isn't a good way to get back in the good graces of management with the blood of last September's collapse still on your hands.

If the Braves only play .500 or worse through June, don't expect Fredi to still be the skipper at the All-Star break.

The top internal candidate to manage the Braves should they fire Fredi mid-season would be special assistant Jim Fregosi.

For those wondering, there's no chance #6 puts the uniform on again. He loves Fredi like a son and wouldn't feel comfortable replacing him. Also, Bobby is an old-school guy and believes in keeping your word to the team no matter what. He told the team he was retired and that is that.

Fregosi, who will turn 70 on April 4, hasn't managed in the majors since 2000 when he was with the Blue Jays.

 

[Windu]

i would love to have another manager but i hope our front office isn't judging spring training performance to make their managerial decisions.

 

[RBH]

I don't want Chipper to retire yet.

 

[RBH]

Picture Day!

 

[Windu]

i like how you ordered the pictures from youngest to oldest to undead

Considering that I'm an aspiring (actual news) journalist, maybe it's bad that I am so innately full of contempt for these kinds of stories.

Better get used to carefully wording your completely made up bullshit so that it sounds like you know some inside information.

Sources who would be in a position to know tell me you'll have no problem lighting your principles on fire.

 

[vas_a_morir]

I'm "somebody else" now?

For shame.

lol, I didn't even look at who the real OP was because I wanted to bounce out of that thread as fast as possible.

 

[Windu]

oh hey, the braves didn't lose today....didn't win either.

I'm electing to be of the David Simon variety. My sources will be named.

 

[Enron]

goddamnit Indians, stop sucking. I want to see Yu back out on the mound.

 

[McNei1y]

I do.

You had a good career Larry. Hang up the gloves.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

how has he looked so far?

 

[Corran Horn]

Here you go.

My Dickey shops are looking very bleh, so I may request that one also.

Here is one. This can repeat until 2035.

 

[Malo]

Here is one. This can repeat until 2035.

:jnc

Where's the mo Vaughn cover?

 

[Enron]

how has he looked so far?

Control not so great in the 1st inning, has settled down since. 3Ks in 2 IP, a couple of dirty breaking pitches.

Edit: Control not so great in the 3rd inning. He looks amped up, missing high a lot.

 

[CygnusXS]

Yu's a bust. Ship him back.

 

[h3ro]

:jnc

Where's the mo Vaughn cover?

Needs more Butch Huskey.

 

[Duane Cunningham]

Wait til I get one like that with a moose!!

I'm listening to the Reds feed. I like the announcers pretty well. The southern sounding guy with a bunch of silly metaphors is pretty fun.

Lol, that has to be Jeff Brantley. He's from Mississippi I think.

 

[BFIB]

Jeff Brantley is awesome. Wish we could fire our horrible announcing crew for TV, and add him in.

 

[Macattk15]

Spring Training Mariners are soooooo excitingggggg!

 

[vas_a_morir]

Spring training doesn't tell you shit, but I hope Jay Bruce stays hot when the actual season starts.

 

[Carlbeego]

Where did A-Rods titty bounce go?

 

[The Frankman]

Here is one. This can repeat until 2035.

I am going to DESTROY you in MLB 12 for that quip. See you couldn't be humble and stay under the radar? You think I was playing all-out last year? Oh forget it, now I'm Triple H and you're a random jobber:

Oh yes. That's good. THAT'S WHAT I WANT. Bring your best game to me, it'll make your defeat so much more satisfying.

 

[Sanjuro]

Michael Kay is worse than my hot dog cancer future.

I just love that the shortstop fight is between Ian Desmond, Steve Lombardozzi, and Andres Blanco. Reyes should've came here dammit!

I eagerly await Qwerty's return.

 

[Tedesco!]

He does pop up on FSO every once in a while
