So yesterday, I'm about to head off to a local card show at a nearby mall...and my friend calls, and says he has an extra Phillies ticket. When the hell do I say no to that, regardless of the fact that they'd lose to the White Sox.
Thankfully, a day later, I finally got to the cards show. There were less 10 cent bins, though there was one nice one, and a few other places to draw cards from.
One guy had commons of this year's Topps set, which I went for. I might as well count the All Stars again:
400- David Wright, who's been doing alright this year. All Star #1
394- Ubaldo Jiminez
617- Fernando Rodney, who has cooled down.
619- Carlos Gomez. All Star #2.

642- Austin Jackson
647- Adam Dunn. Aghhhhh...he hit against my team yesterday...
