Congratulations to the St. Louis Cardinals and all their fans on becoming the 2011 World Champions of Baseball. (Note to self: Next year, if the Rangers should make it to the World Series again, out of fairness to them and their fans, I SHOULD NOT ROOT FOR THEM. Even if their matched up against the […]
I tried. I started watching the game last night and for the first few innings I was into it. Particularly the first inning, when there was a few very strange plays. In the top of the inning, Ian Kinsler was batting and slapped a grounder down the third base line that ended up for a […]
Yesterday around baseball a couple of significant milestones were reached. First off, Jim Thome joined the 600 Home Run Club, becoming just the 8th man in the history of the game to do so. Thome reached the milestone in his 8167th at-bat. Only one other player in history did it faster. That player was Babe […]
Well, it’s official. Frankie Rodriguez and the specter of his $17 Million vesting option have moved on to the sunny environs of Wisconsin. Honestly, I’m at a little bit of a loss as to how to feel about this. On one hand, I was never a K-Rod hater as some Mets fans and local media […]
There was a line going out the door of McSorleys as I was coming it to work this morning. That can mean only one thing. St. Paddys Day is upon us. It’s time for the Second Annual Condition: Poor St. Patricks Day Parade of Cardboard. Have fun, everybody. Don’t drink too much green beer.
Days Until And
Yesterday it was announced that The Reds Joey Votto won the National League Most Valuable Player Award. Although I really didn’t have any vested interest in any of the leading candidates, I was pretty happy to see the young 1st baseman get the honors. I don’t have anything particular against Albert Pujols, but sometimes it’s […]
It was a pretty exciting sports weekend at the SlangKo Corporate Headquarters. The Rangers beat the Yankees on Saturday after they should have beat them on Friday as well. The Giants beat the Phillies ace in Philadelphia, leaving Citizens Bank Park with the Series at 1-1 after facing the 2 Roys. The other Giants hung […]
So it’s finally here. I guess technically yesterday was the season opener, but really who cares about the defending world champs playing against their bitter rivals at one of the oldest ballparks in the country. SNORE! Right now as I type this, we’re looking at roughly 3 hours until Johan Santana throws the first pitch […]
I mentioned earlier in the week that I made a couple of trades recently that knocked quite a few cards off of my wantlists. This particular one comes from Peter over at Dropped Third Strike. Amazingly, he was able to kill off all the remaining cards I needed for the 2010 Topps base set. Even […]
