I can’t even begin to explain how happy it makes me knowing that this guy is out of the N.L. East. And I’m not saying that in a “Geez, that guy always kills us. Good thing he’s gone” kind of way. It’s more in a “Geez that guy is a dick. Good thing he’s gone” […]

And I’m not talking about the particularly crushing defeat of the Giants by the Packers last night. My beloved Jose Reyes, my favorite player on my favorite team, is now a former player of my favorite team. And to make matters worse, he is now a member of the team that I possibly hate the […]

I’ve been pretty bad about watching the World Series so far this year. I’ve been trying. I really have. Both games so far I’ve suffered through the terrible Fox pre-game show and started watch, and both games I’ve ended up flipping around during the game until I just eventually stopped checking in. I really don’t […]

Can I just start things off by saying that last night was one of the best baseball watching nights I’ve had in what seems like forever. My head was spinning trying to keep up with all the craziness that was happening. My television was on a constant loop from ESPN for the Boston/Baltimore game to […]

Turns out this last day of the season is so chock full of craziness, I almost don’t care that Mets are going out on a sour note and will end up with a losing record for the third year in a row. In case you missed it, one of the guys on this card went […]

Good Feelings
August 30th, 2011 by slangon
It’s not too often these days that I can actually feel pretty good about the Mets, but they did sweep the Marlins in a double header yesterday, and that’s put a smile on my face. And yes, I do understand that the Marlins are a team who’ve gone 4-19 over their last 23 games, but […]

I know it’s only 4 games into the season, but I’m really feeling like it is. The Mets face their first major hurdle of the season when they start a 3 game series against the juggernaut Phillies in Philadelphia tonight. Fortunately, they’ll be missing Cliff Lee and Roy Oswalt, but they will be facing Cole […]

A while back Randy of Way Off Base had gotten in touch with me about having some 2010 Topps Series 2 cards that I needed. Turned out I had some random 2010 Topps Series 2 that he needed so We decided to swap. Turns out he’s a Cardinals fan so in the spirit of thinning […]

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 […]

Apparently I have much more success rooting for teams that I don’t really root for than I do rooting for my own team. Yesterday was another great day for those of us hoping to not see a replay of last years World Series. The Rangers continued to absolutely dominate the Yankees. 4 more homers in […]
