Is That World Series Thing Still Happening?
October 22nd, 2011 by slangon

I’ve been pretty bad about watching the World Series so far this year. I’ve been trying. I really have. Both games so far I’ve suffered through the terrible Fox pre-game show and started watch, and both games I’ve ended up flipping around during the game until I just eventually stopped checking in. I really don’t […]

And So It Begins
October 19th, 2011 by slangon

As everyone knows, tonight kicks off the 106th World Series, with Game 1 getting underway in St. Louis. And no, the card at the top of this post is not some not-so-subtle way of me rooting for the Cardinals. I just happened to have picked up a bunch of World Series highlight cards from the […]

Opening Day 2011
April 1st, 2011 by slangon

After a long cold winter, Opening Day is finally here. I know, I know. Opening Day was technically yesterday, but for whatever reason the scheduling gods decided that the Mets wouldn’t open until today. I’m actually a little confused as to what happened. I always remember the very first game of the season happening on […]

Congratulations to the Great Ham-Bino
November 24th, 2010 by slangon

Josh Hamilton has won the 2010 A.L. MVP Award. I’m actually pretty happy about that. I think from rooting for the Rangers this past post season, a little part of me has become a Rangers fan. Also, I’ve grown to like Josh Hamilton over the past few years. Congrats to you on a season well […]

It Just Keeps Getting Better.
October 20th, 2010 by slangon

Apparently I have much more success rooting for teams that I don’t really root for than I do rooting for my own team. Yesterday was another great day for those of us hoping to not see a replay of last years World Series. The Rangers continued to absolutely dominate the Yankees. 4 more homers in […]

Dare I Say It? I’m Actually Enjoying This Post-Season
October 19th, 2010 by slangon

I was thinking that the Rangers might win last night, but I really wasn’t expecting that particular outcome. I almost feel bad for Andy Pettitte. I mean, outside of that mistake pitch in the 1st to Josh Hamilton he pitched really, really well. I guess too bad for him that Clifford Lee pitched really, really, […]

Let’s Go Rangers
October 15th, 2010 by slangon

Now that I’m a full-blown Texas Rangers fan (until they either win the World Series or get knocked out of the playoffs) I thought I’d support the boys in the first game of the ALCS against the evil empire Yankees tonight by sharing some cards from my extensive Texas Rangers collection. Go Rangers! Gums.

A Steaming Pile of Stuff To Do
November 3rd, 2009 by slangon

Did you ever think you were really on top of things, but then took a look at your desk and realized that you weren’t? Over the last few days, things I’ve gotten in the mail and at the card store have been piling up like doo-doo at a dog show. Let’s see what we can […]
