Thanksgiving is upon us, and I have to say, this is one of my favorite holidays of the year. It combines all the cool things (stuffing yourself on food and booze, watching foosball all day and hanging with family) but doesn’t have a lot of the stressful things involved in other holidays like Christmas (figuring […]

During yesterday’s extra-inning, rain delayed game against the Marlins, Jose Reyes went 3 for 6 with a walk to propel himself back into the top spot in the National League in batting average over Ryan Braun. The day before, Jose had actually dropped into second place by 3 points, but thanks to his 3 hits […]

I’m just going to stop talking about how I’m utterly shocked that the Giants keep winning. Of course they keep winning. Apparently that’s what they do. Apparently the Giants are the best team ever. Apparently all it took was sticking Cody Ross, Edgar Renteria, Freddy Sanchez, Pat Burrell and Juan Uribe on the same team […]

As we all know, the World Series starts tonight with the Texas Rangers facing off against the San Francisco Giants. I wonder if the Texas fans are still stinging a little after another team called the Giants came in and pretty much put the last nail in coffin of the Cowboys season. I also wonder […]

On we march into the second round of the playoffs. I can’t say I saw too many surprises in the outcome. Although, I will admit that I thought that the Braves would’ve made a better showing against the Giants. I really thought that they had the better team. I guess the San Francisco pitching and […]

So today starts the 2010 Major League Baseball Postseason. Some of you may be shocked to learn that my beloved Mets did not make the cut this year. Yeah. I know. Crazy, isn’t it? Anyway, despite not having my team in the mix to root for, I still always love watching the playoffs and the […]

I mentioned earlier in the week that I made a couple of trades recently that knocked quite a few cards off of my wantlists. This particular one comes from Peter over at Dropped Third Strike. Amazingly, he was able to kill off all the remaining cards I needed for the 2010 Topps base set. Even […]

So I’ve finally been able to track down some 2010 Topps. I had been trying to get it from Target, just because one of the cooler things I’ve seen from this release so far has been the Red Back inserts, which are exclusive to Target. For whatever reason, the local Target has not gotten 2010 […]

The second batch is ready for your perusal. #6 Jack Cust, Oakland Athletics I really love this shot of Jack. Who doesn’t love when players give the ump that look? Say Whaaaaa? #7 Ryan Howard, Philadelphia Phillies As a Mets fan, I really hate the Phillies. There’s a bunch of dudes on that team that […]

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. […]
