I tried. I started watching the game last night and for the first few innings I was into it. Particularly the first inning, when there was a few very strange plays. In the top of the inning, Ian Kinsler was batting and slapped a grounder down the third base line that ended up for a […]
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 […]
It seems that my new modus operandi when it comes to buying cards is finding specific cards that I want / need for one of my various want lists, be it on eBay or Sportlots. Then look over whatever seller’s other inventory for other cards I need, or cards that I don’t necessarily need, but […]
As much as I was rooting for Texas to win this Worlds Series, and as much I was 100% believed that Texas was going to win this World Series, I extend a hearty congratulations to Bruce Bochy and the Giants on their very impressive win over the Rangers. As I mentioned in the very first […]
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 […]
Finally. I can’t say it enough. Never in a million years did I think that it would take until Game 3 for the Rangers to win the 1st World Series game in franchise history. Congrats to them for that. Now they just need to continue the longish uphill climb to World Championship-ness. In the meantime, […]
What more do you say at this point? I guess we all just need to stop sitting around and waiting for the Rangers to beat the snot out of the Giants, “just like we all said they would”. I really do think, however, that the rest of the series will not be played the way […]
I feel as though I owe an apology to the San Francisco Giants and their fans. I was aware that they had a pretty darn good pitching staff, but it would seem that I have grossly underestimated their bats. I’m actually pretty impressed that they were able to achieve something that other, more impressive (at […]
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 […]
This is the last of that one batch of 1960 cards that I got off of SportLots a while back. These also happen to be my favorites of the bunch. Always save the best for last, I sez. #390 Scrambling After the Ball, World Series Game #6 I really like World Series highlight cards in […]
