On The Fifth Day of Christmas…
Mets Through the Years: Left Field
September 25th, 2012 by slangon
Man, time is getting short. The Mets have 9 games to go and I’ve got 3 positions left to do. Fingers, don’t fail me now. In honor of the 50th Anniversary of the New York Mets, I’ve been looking at the primary players at each position throughout the teams history. We’ve already looked at the […]
I Guess That’s One Way to Stop a Losing Streak
June 28th, 2012 by slangon
In case you didn’t hear, yesterday the Mets beat the Cubs by the score of 17-1. In honor of that feat, here are 17 Mets cards that were part of a massive, 109 card order that I picked up off of Sportlots recently. Enjoy. And just to be fair, the Cubbies did score one run, […]
Guaranteed Hits, On The Cheap, Part II
December 19th, 2009 by slangon
This is the other half of the $20 I spent for 2 guaranteed hits. The 50% off blaster of 2008 Upper Deck Series 2, touting “One Game Used Memoribilia Card in Every Box! on average”. Let’s see what gems we plucked from this bad boy, shall we. A couple of ex-Metropolitans. Have I mentioned that […]
2003 Topps 205 Box Break: Packs 9-12
December 1st, 2009 by slangon
On we march. Pack 9 – #37 Ron Gardenhire One weird thing that I noticed, there’s only 5 managers cards in this set. There’s Gardenhire, Torre, LaRussa, Bob Brenley and Bobby Cox. Now, in the 2002 season, all 5 of their teams won their divisions. But, there’s 6 divisions in baseball? What happened to Oakland? […]
A Steaming Pile of Stuff To Do, Part VII: The Finale
November 13th, 2009 by slangon
Lastly, we have the Oughts. Is that what we’re supposed to be calling the first 10 years of the 21st Century? The Zeros? I like The Oughts. It sounds old timey. “I remember back in twenty-ought-nine, we still had land-line phones.” Anyway, the last batch of cards from the Stats-on-the-Back box. 2001 Topps #404 Mike […]
A Steaming Pile of Stuff To Do, Part III
November 6th, 2009 by slangon
Before I get into this, I just want to touch on two points. First, I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before, but I live in New Jersey and work in Manhattan, which means I have about an hour and 15 minute commute by train/subway in the morning. Normally, this time is very relaxing for […]
