Well, That Was an Interesting Turn of Events…
November 14th, 2012 by slangon

So apparently the Florida Miami Marlins have finished shipping off anyone that was making any money on that team. Now Jose Reyes is a member of the Toronto Blue Jays. Oddly enough, this turn of events actually makes me pretty happy. I feel like now I can go back to rooting for Jose. When he […]

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 […]

Who Says Rooting for a Team That’s 24 Games Out of First Can’t Be Fun?
September 27th, 2011 by slangon

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 […]

September 2nd, 2011 by slangon

So, September is upon us. This weekend is Labor Day already. We all know what that means. Even though there’s officially still 19 days left of the summer, it’s over. This is the last hoorah. For the Mets, that means 27 games left to play, and considering that they’re 22 games behind in the N.L. […]

Gint-A-Cuffs: Rounds 5-8
July 11th, 2010 by slangon

So apparently nobody in the Mets organization has been paying attention to my well thought-out treatise on why it is so important for them to win games against the Braves. They’ve already lost a disastrous 2 games against them, putting them 5 games behind. Hopefully Johan Santana can work his magic and at least salvage […]

Gint-A-Cuffs: Round 3
July 8th, 2010 by slangon

#270 Max Poser I can’t look at this card and take it seriously. I’m sorry. #287 Drew Brees When I saw this moment on TV after the Super Bowl, I thought that it was a pretty awesome father/son moment to be able to share. Now he’s got a baseball card to commemorate it. #154 Juan […]

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 […]
