Hot Damn! What a Way to End It.
September 28th, 2011 by slangon

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 […]

Some Junk Wax Gems
August 26th, 2011 by slangon

Not that I want to keep bring up old shit, but you remember a few weeks ago when I was doing a Junk Wax Pack Clash? One of the packs that I happened to be clashing was a pack of 1989 Topps that I discovered to my horror had been opened and then taped back […]

This just in from the Cobbled Together From Scans That Have Been Sitting In A Folder On My Desktop But Never Used Department: Despite the fact that the have gone 4-1 in their last 5 games against the and the they’ve managed to actually loose ground in the Wild Card race to the Goddammit.

Yippee. It’s the Subway Series, Game 1
May 20th, 2011 by slangon

Well, it’s Subway Series time. You know, I remember a time when I would actually be excited by this. Now, not so much. I’m a little over it. I guess you can thank the media hype-machine for that. In years past I would always be rooting like crazy for the Mets to win just for […]

Some Birthday Cards
June 30th, 2010 by slangon

Last Saturday happened to be the 36th anniversary of the day that Derek Jeter popped out of his momma’s womb. It also happened to be the 36th anniversary of the day that I popped out of my momma’s womb. My wifey was cool enough to give me a blaster, a cereal box and a rack […]

SlangKo Heroes of the Diamond 21-25
April 8th, 2010 by slangon

Well, whatever good feelings were generated with the Mets win on Opening Day have been unceremoniously knocked to the ground and beaten to within a inch of their life. Sigh. Anyway… I’m a little loathe to admit that I’ve sort of lost steam on this set. Not so much that I don’t like it, but […]

November 27th, 2009 by slangon

Now we’re getting to the good stuff – the cards. Pack 1 – #24 Luis Gonzalez #41 Manny Ramirez Whaaaat? Who the hell is this guy on Manny Ramirez’ card? Security! Seriously folks, in my mind 2003 is not that long ago, but looking at these cards, I feel like it’s 20 years ago. I […]

A Steaming Pile of Stuff To Do
November 3rd, 2009 by slangon

Did you ever think you were really on top of things, but then took a look at your desk and realized that you weren’t? Over the last few days, things I’ve gotten in the mail and at the card store have been piling up like doo-doo at a dog show. Let’s see what we can […]

As Much As I Hate To Do This…
September 10th, 2009 by slangon

A hearty conrats to Captain Jeter on tying Lou Gehrig’s hit record. I sort of hate the Yankees, and although I’m not a big Jeter fan, as a baseball fan, I have to respect the man and what he’s accomplished. So here’s to you Derek. Keep piling on the hits, and get ready for the […]
