It was just a matter of time...

I mean, who hasnt had a hard day out in the field? You gotta do you, dog.

Mailbox Goodness

I made what I consider a great trade over on the sports card forum. Traded an 09 Clemente patch card from Topps for 4 Cal Ripken's and a Will Clark for my personal collection. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE UD Masterpieces and hate that they are not continuing the set after two successful years. Canvas looking cards, good mix of young, veteran and retired, some old school uni's, just a great base set to collect.

So good to come home after work to something that gives me a smile. I guess I should take a look at the bills now? Nah, we have cards here!

Great Trading Partner!!

I have done two successful trades with this guy Chris. I think his website is fantastic and what I wanted to do but I dont know crap about buiding a website. Great lists, great communication with him. Check Chris's site out!

If Good Pitching Beats good hitting...

Does good hitting ever beat good pitching? You always here that phrase thrown around but never the inverse. Weird. CC Sabathia mowed us down tonight, he was on, thats cool. I respect that. If he had lost, would it have been bad pitching and good hitting or good pitching with great hitting?

Never sure about these things, but an L is an L either way.

I feel like Yogi Berra at this point, I will stop rambling.

What a difference a day makes...

yeah, i was never on the ledge, but still 6 game losing streaks are tough. Beat Tampa tonight. Nick Markakis is the truth. That is all. Working on some trades for some people now and will update my lists soon. Thanks to all who are reading, its slow going getting a blog up and running.

Boy, are the Orioles bad.

Disturbing trends:
1) Guthrie cant get the third out of an inning.

2) Bats absolutely DIE after the 6th inning.

3) I know its just a slump and every team has them but this team has no FIRE. None. They go through the motions and thats it. Need an igniter, need some passion. I actually miss Kevin Millar.

Local Card show exploits

Havent been to a card show in years. Got a beckett and sure enough this weekend there was one at the local mall. I usually hate going to the mall, this was no exception, but we dont have many options left with card shops folding quicker than the Orioles bullpen. (Editors note: Yeah, George Sherrill, not a big fan of you right now.) Anyway, I bought 10 packs of 93 Ultra to help with sets for 50 cents each. I actually traded a Heritage auto card of someone I didnt care about for a Cal Ripken Donruss Threads card. When I get the scanner to work I will post the card. Show was good, saw a lot of things I didnt think I would ever see. No Will Clark stuff though.
