Despite my apparent sabbatical from the blog recently, I couldn’t miss the 4th Annual Condition: Poor St. Patricks Day Parade of Cards, once again led by the Grand Marshal, the Mets’ own “Irish Hammer” Daniel Murphy. So without further ado, let’s get to the wearin’ o’ the green. Grand Marshall Murphy, lead the way.

If you haven’t heard, apparently David Wright has been playing for about the past month or so with a broken back. An MRI revealed a stress fracture in his lower back that was thought to have happened during a game against the Astros on April 19. Wright figured he did it when he dove to […]

I woke up this morning and had a very unusual realization. Today is Saturday, and I actually don’t have anything that I need to do. In celebration of that fact, I will soon be retiring to the couch to watch the Mets spring training game, eat some pizza nad drink a beer. Also in celebration […]

Go Rangers! Gums.

I don’t have a huge collection of Autographs and Game Used cards. What I do have, I like, even when I don’t like it. Recently, though, I’ve been thinking.

A really, really, really long time ago, I had bought this weird re-pack thing from Target, which I kept meaning to write up a little thing about. I even got as far as starting to scan and upload some cards. I’m sure everyone who has tried their hand at keeping up a blog knows the […]
