It’s been a little cold and damp around these parts lately. I had put Sunday aside to watch to the Mets/Giants game, which ended up getting postponed, setting up a Monday double header (which them stupid bums lost both games of. grrrr.). Because of that, I ended up running errands on Sunday rather than watching […]

As I was listening to the Yankees / Tigers game tonight (or at least as far as they got) either Ron Darling or they other guy mentioned in passing that Justin Verlander won the A.L. Pitching Triple Crown this year. Although I can’t say that I was aware of that fact, I also can’t say […]

We’ve already knocked out half of the packs in this box and we’re sitting at 70 points. I’ve not been too happy thus far, but we still have 2 hits (hopefully) and the box topper left to go, so maybe this box won’t be as bad as I’ve been expecting. Let’s get to it. Pack […]

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 […]

My apologies to Nachos Grande for not getting this stuff up sooner. Anyway, a while back he and I worked out one of those trades that doesn’t necessarily make for sexy blogging, but is what collections are built upon. No big hits here. No autographed, serial numberd, triple relic rookie cards of Hall of Famers. […]
