Shhh. Do you hear that? It’s the sound of a minor league third baseman weeping gently into his pillow. He’s not going anywhere. Looks like this card could be a reality.
One time top Mets prospect turned not-so-sure-what-to-think-about-him-being-claimed-off-of-waivers prospect Fernando Martinez has been claimed by the American League Houston Astros. Quite honestly, typing out that sentence just kind of messed up my brain. Between that run-on adjective and the phrase “AMerican League Houston Astros”, I need a rest. Ah, well. Good luck to you, Fernando. Although […]
Can I just start things off by saying that last night was one of the best baseball watching nights I’ve had in what seems like forever. My head was spinning trying to keep up with all the craziness that was happening. My television was on a constant loop from ESPN for the Boston/Baltimore game to […]
Admittedly, I was disgusted by the Mets this time last week. After an acceptable 6 game road trip against all N.L. East opponents which they split 3-3, they lost a series to the Nats, got swept in 4 games by the Rockies, lost a series to the Braves, and lost the first 2 games of […]
I woke up this morning and had a very unusual realization. Today is Saturday, and I actually don’t have anything that I need to do. In celebration of that fact, I will soon be retiring to the couch to watch the Mets spring training game, eat some pizza nad drink a beer. Also in celebration […]
On we march into the second round of the playoffs. I can’t say I saw too many surprises in the outcome. Although, I will admit that I thought that the Braves would’ve made a better showing against the Giants. I really thought that they had the better team. I guess the San Francisco pitching and […]
In case you haven’t noticed, I haven’t spent a whole lot of time recently addressing the trials and tribulations of the New York Mets, other than to occasionally throw out an exasperated comment here and there. I guess that happens when you have a team that was looking pretty good prior to the All-Star break, […]
Moving along with the card haul I managed to receive for Christmas, here is the highlights from the T206 blaster that I was given by my lovely sister-in-law. First up, is a batch of rookies that I’m pretty excited to get, and not in a prospector way. More in a these-guys-were-pretty-exciting-to watch-last-season-and-I’m-interested-to-see-how-they-develop kind of way. […]
I picked up some pretty nice cards on eBay over the last week or two. What with the Blizzard of ’09 and general holiday nuttiness, I haven’t had a chance to post them until now. First up, we have a 2008 Goudey John Maine Jersey. Ahh, the good old days, last year, when I still […]
Just in time for everyone to be over 206. I’ve seen a bunch of pack and box breaks of 206 over the last few weeks, and I must admit, the cards look awesome. Not awesome enough for me to decide to collect, though. Instead, I decided I would just try and nail down the Mets […]
