As you no doubt know, today is the feast of St. Patrick. What you might not know is that “Saint” Patrick is not actually a saint, at least not in the canonized sense. Regardless, every year on the anniversary of his death, millions of pints of green beer and countless shots of Irish whiskey are […]
Having grown up a Mets fan, I’ve spent a lot of time listening to Ralph Kiner talk about baseball. Strike that. I’ve been fortunate enough to listen to Ralph Kiner talk about baseball. Every fan has those special days during the baseball season that they look forward to. Opening Day. That big series with a […]
As everyone knows, on this day 100 years ago, Orville and Wilbur Wright took to the skies in their Wright Flyer. Also, most everyone has at one point or another seen the iconic photo of the plane, piloted by Orville, at the point of liftoff with Wilbur standing off to the right. But how many […]

A few days ago, I was posting some cards sent to me by Dayf as part of his Cards for Junk outreach program. I ended up droning on and on about all the Mets and managers and team cards he sent, so I ended up cutting it short. As I mentioned at the end of […]
In honor of your Championship, I have made you a custom card. Of course, like every other bit of Super Bowl Championship paraphernalia that is released .5 seconds after the final play of the game, I had a custom card all set to go for both the possibility of a Giants win as well as […]
… this is shaping up to be a pretty damn good World Series. Watching this guy stymie Pujols and the gang the night after putting up a million runs was pretty damn awesome. On to Game 5.
So we’re down to it. 2 games remain in the 2011 Baseball Season. Obviously, the Mets as a team have been a lost cause for a while now, but damn if Jose Reyes isn’t keeping baseball fun. Last night Jose went 3 for 4 in the Mets loss to the Reds to boost his average […]
