Would the Phillies release Ronny Paulino?
They had two talentless catchers and they couldn'tve been ousted
ugh!

Another sock done
Curt Schilling has retired
YYYYYYEEEEEESSSSSSSS!
Think of the painful world series' we've witnessed, and that f*(&(*& bloody sock.
He was still a great player, and will be missed.

Hitting the Target
Back in my BMC period (Before Mint Condition), I used to take time out of my Sundays to get a few packs of cards and Target. Whether it was Timeline or Heritage, or even Upper Deck, I still got it.
Today, while out with my friends, we went over to that Target, and I got three packs. 2 packs of Heritage, 1 pack of Upper Deck. I haven't opened the packs yet, and am excited.
Let's rip.
We'll start with the UD
45- Daisuke Matsuzaka. BOOOOOOOOOO!
76- Rich Harden. Decent player from back when the A's rotation was full of people- unlike today, where they only have one semi-good guy.
10- Chris Young. Meh.
199- Rafael Furcal. Dumb move, Dodgers, dumb move
101- Jeff Keppinger. Who?
164- Brian Bannister. Great player, hard to believe the Mets gave him up. BTW, glad that UD isn't using the Royals baby-blue-pajamas uniforms for their cards. Thank a lot, Topps!
403- Jonathon Niese- Speaking of rookie greats the Mets gave up, this may be the next one.
457- Dodgers Team Leaders. Billingsley, Kemp and Loney.
UD Anniversary 442- Some Hockey card. Wait- HOCKEY IN A BASEBALL CARD PACK?
WHAAAAAAAAATTTT?
447- Rockies team leaders- Holliday, Cook and Taveras- only one of which is still on the team.
498- Jack Cust Team Checklist. Why does Upper Deck always have checklists on players?
232- Delmon Young. Sweet!
249- Pedro Martinez. Currently teamless and looking for means of employment.
283- Daric Barton. Who?
266- Melky Cabrera. YANKEE IN DA HOUSE!
332- Felix Hernandez. Decent pitcher.
400- Jesus Flores. Worst. Name. Ever!
349- Jason Isringhausen. Also currently teamless
Now for the Heritage.
Pack one-
146- Ramon Ramirez Rookie. Who?
112- Scott Lewis Rookie. Sorry, could we at least have a Fred? Or Randy?
44- Barack Oba- I mean Dana Eveland. Sorry. Still crazy about those gimmicks.
94- Yovanni Gallardo. Good pitcher.
432- Glen Perkins short print. Good find, bad player.
423- Brian Bucher. Who?
74- Marlon Byrd. The Phils HAD this guy, and then BAM! He was gone!
227- Eric $%^$^%$%^$ Wedge.
Pack 2-
144- Matt Antonelli Rookie. Who?
421- Bengire Molina. NO GIMMICK? WHAAAAA?
New Age Performers of Josh Hamilton. WOOOOOOO!
493- 08 All Star (Legen...) Ichiro (Wait for it) Short print (...Dary!)
267- Hank Blalock. Sweet.
229- Kaz Matsui. Good player, YET ANOTHER ONE THE METS GAVE AWAY!!!
158- Gregor Blanco. Ugh.
219- Bob $%^$%$$ Geren. I HATE MANAGER CARDS!!!
All in all, it was a great couple of packs, and I hope to be ripping more soon.

Not much action
I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been busy. A lot of crap has been happening in my life, and I had to attend to it.
I'm discontinuing my I love the 70's thing. Turns out it just can't work. And also, I don't want to be sharing the turf with 30-Year-Old-Cardboard.
Tomorrow, I might get something, but you never know. Sundays are usually open.
It's been a long day, and tomorrow might be even longer.

2009 Upper Deck Series 1
A few nights ago, I went to a barmytsfah, and one of the little favors they gave out were baseball card packs. I only got one, but it's enough to garner a post
Let's rip
70- Ryan Theriot. He's okay, but not great. May or may not add him to my "book"
5- Orlando Hudson. Now with the Dodgers. Still one of the best 2B's in the game.
68- Ted Lilly. Another okay Cub. Again, not really that good.
184- Howie Kendrick. Great guy, hopes to be Angels top dog soon.
168- Tony Pena- the one on the Royals. Meh, as Dayf might say.
121- Jason Grilli. Okay, but not Jason Propane Elaine-i
438- Padres Team Leaders. Gonzalez, Peavy and Giles.
Yankee Stadium Lunacy Robinson Cano. Sweet.
UD Documentary James Shields. Why, oh why, did UD brinf this mediocre series back?
417- George Kottaras. WHOOOOOOOO???
481- Brandon Phillips Checklist. Decent Second Baseman.
300- Jamie Moyer. Philly great- WOOOOOO!
234- Craig Monroe. Good player, just not what he used to be.
210- Clayton Kershaw. NIIIIIICE!
318- Kevin Kouzmanoff. Good player.
389- Shannon Stewart. These days. Mr. Stewart is a nomad.
372- Chris David. Who?
355- Ryan Ludwick. Who?
Great pack. Hoping to open more soon.
