That Was Fascinating.
February 9th, 2011 by slangon

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 […]

Some Check Out My Cards Cards
January 19th, 2011 by slangon

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 […]

Happy 2011, Everybody.
January 1st, 2011 by slangon

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. […]

My Thoughts on the Mets Going Forward: The Bullpen
December 10th, 2010 by slangon

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 […]

My Thoughts on the Mets Going Forward: Starting Pitching
December 7th, 2010 by slangon

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 […]

Back to Back.
November 19th, 2010 by slangon

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 […]

Heading Back to the House That the House That Ruth Built Built
October 18th, 2010 by slangon

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 […]

Au Revoir, Frenchy.
September 1st, 2010 by slangon

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.
