“My hypocrisy only goes so far”
I'm your huckleberry...Kruk is a moron
Watching the Astros/Yankees Wildcard game tonight... "Sometimes ignorance is bliss. Some of these (Astros) rookies don't realize the Yankees have won 27 championships" - John Kruk A) Really? People who play so much baseball that they've made it their PROFESSION, have...
2015 Fantasy Baseball – Final Results
With the 2015 regular season coming to a close, so does Fantasy Baseball. I'm actually stunned, honestly so, that my own team pulled off an upset win over Duff's team for the championship. My season record was barely over .500, but we went on a 7-week streak towards...
What happened to September?
I swear yesterday was the 4th of July. I don't remember most of August and I have no clue what happened to September. Life. Life happened. My kid started school, my job ramped up 400%, a guy at work quit, my buddy needed personal intervention-style help, my church...
Batting around
I don't actually own that much in the way of "sports memorabilia". Having entire gloves, bats, shoes, etc., is just too expensive. I don't have any disposable incoming, I'm not a doctor or a lawyer, so paying hundreds of dollars for stuff is just not going to happen....
Anyone want BUNT cards?
I've given up on BUNT. I tried to like it but it's just impossible. It's impossible for me to enjoy an app that doesn't know what its trying to be, outside of a basic pay-to-win money grab, and that's not something I can support. Originally, I was told it was a "card...
Ginter contest from Bubba
I don't normally pimp contests around the blogosphere, but this one sounded excellent. Matt from Bubba's Bangin' Batch of Baseball Bits, which is an epic name for a blog if ever there was one, is holding a few Ginter themed contests at the moment. Ginter is right...
The Rookie Quandary
Or, the Bowman Conundrum. Or, the Organizational Dilemma. Or any of a number of synonyms for "First World Baseball Card Problems". I've reached that point where I need to reconsider how I'm organizing my cards. Some of it is ok. Team sets and complete sets, by years,...
Love my new light tent
I had mentioned a couple weeks ago that I was experimenting with photographing cards in my new light tent. I can honestly say that I've been very pleased with the results. The cards retain some of that "sparkle" and luminance that they lose on the scanner bed. Not all...
Hurricane Season
Nothing quite like hurricane season in Texas. This will be a fun work week.
Live Blogging E3: Xbox
I haven't really live blogged anything in a while, and E3 is a great excuse. Microsoft's press conference is about to start. Let's do this! 11:43am - Halo 5 was less than impressive. Looked like Call of Duty with aliens. 11:45 - No idea what this is, but the...
