I’ve never given much thought to Panini. Not that I have anything against them. I just never gave them much thought. I think I might’ve inadvertently picked up a pack or two of their cards here and there. I kind of remember them being cool, but who knows. On their official blog today, though, there […]

Since I’ve already showed the very first card acquisition of the new year, I figure I probably should show the very last card acquisitions of last year. Hell, I probably should’ve showed it before I showed the new years new cards, but if I didn’t do things just because I should’ve done them before, I’d […]

I hope everybody had a good New Years Eve that involved lots of eating, drinking and being merry. Personally, I had a pretty quite, yet enjoyable one, which is something I haven’t enjoyed in, well, ever. I guess things change a bit when you’re toting around a 22 month little boy and a pregnant wifey. […]

The Mets bullpen of 2010 were not as bad as some of their predecessors. They blew 16 saves last season as compared to 21 in 2009, 29 in 2008 and 18 in 2007. Maybe that’s not the best number to be looking at, but I thought that was a pretty good way to judge the […]

Right now the Winter Meetings are going on in Orlando. So far, Sandy Alderson has made it pretty clear that the Mets will not be making any big impact moves this off-season and if they walk away from those meeting with anything, it will be either be a reclamation project, such as Chris Young or […]

I don’t know if you’ve seen, but Thorzul over at Thorzul Will Rule held his annual Nightmares on Cardboard contest, and lo and behold I won for the second year in a row. I was a little skeptical as to my chances this year. I thought the whole idea of the Werewolf Sportflics card was […]

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 […]

I don’t care what everyone says. I’ll miss you and your awesome right arm. Just when I was learning how to spell your name correctly, too. By the way, I can’t believe I only have one card of Frenchy as a Met scanned.
