First Ever Trade...with Baseball Dad

A few days after I put out my plea for some Yo Momma Cards, I got an email from Baseball Dad, saying he had some he didn't need, and he'd throw in a few Yankees "off his dartboard" I offered my assorted Topps inserts and Indians, and away I went.

Now, a week later, the results-

3 Cards from the Babe Ruth 100 year set from 1995.
1989 Fleer Rickey Henderson. I don't believe I have this one.
2001 Golden Moments REGGIE! REGGIE! REGGIE!
MORE REGGIE! 1987 Turn Back the Clock.
2010 Mark Teixiera Turkey Red. That is what I like seeing.
2009 Goodwin A-rod. I didn't have this one, and it's a damn cool card.
2010 Legendary Lineage of The Iron Horse and Mark Teixiera
2008 Wal Mart Portraits of Joba Chamberlain. ALL RIGHT!
2008 SP Authentic of Chien Ming Wang, the man whose fanbase includes my dentist, and the country of Taiwan.
2008 Allen and Ginter Mariano Rivera. Did not have this one.
Some 2008 Bowman Prospects
2008 Opening Day DEREK JETER!
2008 A Piece of Cra- I mean HISTORY! Of Joba Chamberlain
2008 UD Masterpieces (Weren't we just talking about this) of SANDMAN!!!
2008 Bowman Johnny Damon, who has since packed his bags for Detroit
2008 Timelines Derek Jeter and A-rod

And now the Yo Mamma Cards-
1959 Bob Gibson
1965 Juan Marichal
1970 Steve Carlton
1989 Gary Sheffield
1998 A-ROD (She actually threw this one out!)
2008 Tim Lincecum

And the icing on the cake...

2009 Allen and Ginter Relic of CC Sabathia!!!

From an Ex CC town to the current one. That is nice.

I think that trading is going to be the centerpiece of this blog's future. Because this turned out really, really well.

The Hertitage Kerfuffle

As you have seen throughout the blogosphere, 2010 Heritage (The 10th successful product of Time Travel Company "Heritage") is live, and I've seen results posted all around. People have asked me if I'm going to try and complete it.

My answer- no. But I will eventually find the Yankees, the Phillies, and any other star cards I feel like picking up at card shows. It looks like a damn cool set, but collecting Heritage is not my main goal. That's usually based on completing either this year's flagship set, or past sets (like 1995 Donruss and 2008 Masterpieces) that I love but could never complete.

And yeah, I'll try and get the inserts too. I've seen Ruth, Whitey and Maris inserts flying around, and I'll track them down.

COMING TONIGHT- My first ever trade post. I'll post as soon as I get the package. Only thing I'll give away- it involves those Yo Mamma cards that are listed as "Coming"

(and this guy)

Chan Hooooo Boy

Remember last year, when Chan Ho Park pitched in the World Series? Remember how he looked so scraggly, so unshaven

He's going to the Yankees...which means he's going to have to shave.

CRAAAAAAPPP!

The weekend without a pack

This weekend was my first weekend since the weekend Topps came out that I haven't opened any cards. I didn't do it for a reason, but my wallet wasn't burning a hole this week, and I wanted a weekend without new cards.

I mean, new as in 2010, but I will be getting some new cards sooner or later.

The Yankee year foretold

Last year when Pitchers and Catchers reported, I nailed my prediction that the Yankees would win the world series. This year, I'll do it again.

I mean, they are unstoppable. Incredible pitching, wonderful hitting and defense like a brick wall. Here's the people we added to our roster

• Traded for Curtis Granderson
• Signed Nick Johnson
• Singing Randy Winn (an Omen)
• Resigned Andy Pettite
• Traded for Javier Vazquez

With the additions of Johnson and Vazquez, it's back to the 2004 team almost!

But we also lost some people over the offseason.

• Traded Austin "The Man" Jackson and Phil Coke to Detroit
• Traded Melky Cabrera to Atlanta (You can have him!)
• Did not sign Johnny Damon- signed with Detroit
• Did not sign Hideki Matsui- signed with California, or Anaheim, or whatever
• Did not sign Chien Ming Wang (a bad sign for my dentist and the country of Taiwan)- signed with Washington (I'm so sorry)
• Did not sign Matt Holliday even though the were GOING to- he signed with St. Louis.

But you know who we still have?

• Derek Jeter
• Alex Rodriguez
• CC Sabathia
• The Sandman, Mariano Rivera
• Mark Teixiera
• Jorge Posada
• Robinson Cano
• Andy Pettite
• AJ Burnett
• Joba "The Hutt" Chamberlain
• Nick Swisher
• Phil Hughes
• and 27 World Championship trophies

TRY AND BEAT THAT BOSTON!

Mr. Damon goes to Detroit

It's like the Yankees and the Tigers made a trade this season. A centerfielder for a left fielder, each going to each other's teams while not in the same deal. Damon and Granderson on opposite teams still.

(I was going to a do a "DO IT FOR JOHNNY!" joke, but I couldn't find a Matt Dillon screencap from that movie. Damn google images)
