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 […]

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 […]

The Mets bullpen of 2010 were not as bad as some of their predecessors. They blew 16 saves last season as compared to 21 in 2009, 29 in 2008 and 18 in 2007. Maybe that’s not the best number to be looking at, but I thought that was a pretty good way to judge the […]

Right now the Winter Meetings are going on in Orlando. So far, Sandy Alderson has made it pretty clear that the Mets will not be making any big impact moves this off-season and if they walk away from those meeting with anything, it will be either be a reclamation project, such as Chris Young or […]

Now that the World Series is over and nobody east of the Rockies cares about the Giants unless they’re playing football, it’s time for baseball obsessed folk like myself to start looking at the off-season moves made by their favorite teams. I’m not too sure how much moving and grooving other teams have done so […]

First off, I just want to take this opportunity to wish a happy Father Day to all you Dad’s out there. To me there’s always a special connection between baseball and my Dad, so I think fathers hold a special place in the card collecting community. I’d especially like to wish a happy Fathers Day […]

So the Mets finished up a very successful home stand yesterday, completing a 3 game sweep of the Dodgers with a 7-3 victory. They went 9-1 on said home stand, finishing it out with a 7 game winning streak after sweeping both the Braves and the Dodgers. After the off day today, they head into […]

So it’s finally here. I guess technically yesterday was the season opener, but really who cares about the defending world champs playing against their bitter rivals at one of the oldest ballparks in the country. SNORE! Right now as I type this, we’re looking at roughly 3 hours until Johan Santana throws the first pitch […]

Moving along with the card haul I managed to receive for Christmas, here is the highlights from the T206 blaster that I was given by my lovely sister-in-law. First up, is a batch of rookies that I’m pretty excited to get, and not in a prospector way. More in a these-guys-were-pretty-exciting-to watch-last-season-and-I’m-interested-to-see-how-they-develop kind of way. […]
