Because it's Halloween...

I get to be geeky and make a stalegum-esque reference to my favorite semi-scary movies...only card related



Well, the Yankees season is dead... They've got no chance left
"Oh Herr Doctor, I'm so sorry"
"No no, be of good cheer. If baseball teaches us anything, it's to accept our successes, and our failures, with quiet dignity and grace"

...

"SON OF A GUN WE WERE SO CLOSE! TEXIERA WAS RIGHT THERE AND WE HAD JETER'S HOMER! IT SHOULDN'TVE HIT THE CAMERA! GIRARDI...WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME? WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?"
"Stop it! You'll kill their 2010 season!"
"I DON'T WANT TO ROOT FOR THE YANKEES! I'LL JUST TAKE THE INDIANS!!!!"
"Quiet dignity and grace!"
"OH...OLD FRANKENSTEINBRENNER! (zing!) Oh...mommy!

Have a happy halloween, at least for the rest of the night (Too late? Eh, forget it then)

(Did I just jump the shark?)

How it all happened

I was in Yankee Stadium last night, for the game, getting Ice Cream with my dad. We were just getting back, and Texeira was up. The moment we walk downstairs, we see Texiera hit the homer and we got absolutely wild, ice cream everywhere and everything.

Let's just say I was a little excited. I mean, my team's hero just hit a tying homer and the homer that would eventually lead to the 3-1 win. I was quite happy back there

Needless to say, it was a great game. Forget about being late for the train (which I was), it was still a hell of a game

So how do I follow up such a great game?

How about 4 Packs of Updates and Highlights that I shamelessly nabbed from the stadium just because I felt like it?

Let's rip-

Pack 1-

164- Brett "I was traded for Ken Griffey" Tomko

237- Dustin Pedroia All Star
81- Mark Texiera all star.
Legends of the Game Paul Molitor... on the Twins
Russ Martin Topps Town
279- Ross Detwiler, who sounds like a character from Animal House
99- Kevin Gregg. Okay, granted, Cubs collectors might want this one. But really, he's just a releiver. He's no Mariano Rivera
83- Emilio Bonifacio
97- Juan (Not Fidel) Castro

(Yeah, I'll be there for Game 2. It is as awesome as it sounds)

Turnpike Series Game one

Awesome


Awesomer

Tomorrow Night- The Yanks fight back...I hope

Why this is going to be the biggest World Series Ever

A- No Dodgers, Red Sox, Mets or Cardinals

B- Kendry Morales will be at home degreasing his glove

C- Joe Girardi will get up to meet Uncle Cholly and realize how dead he looks in comparison.

D- We will finally have a series where this guy

plays against this guy.

Awesomeness is expected.

Wednesday Night- THE TURNPIKE SERIES!!!

GAAAAHHHHH!

WHY DID THE YANKEES LOSE LAST NIGHT! SWEET MOTHER OF GOD THAT WAS A CRAPPY GAME! I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO TAKE THAT FRIGGING RALLY MONKEY AND FLUSH IT DOWN THE FRICKING TOILET!!! I FEEL SO GRUMPY!!!

Here's some bleeping custom cards

2 in a row

Wow

Back in February, when Philadelphia's sole...real offseason effort was grabbing Raul Ibanez in place of Burrell, it didn't look like the Phillies had much hope. Then we started winning. Then Raul became a superstar in Philly. Then we slowly morphed into the NL champs.

Wow. I was going crazy last night after the game. And if they win the whole thing again, my city will sleep knowing that their heroes have fufilled their destiny.

Just waiting on the Yankees now

But here are some customs from the dearly departed D0dgers

Kershaw did pretty well in the playoffs this year.

Thome's first postseason effort on the Dodgers was a good one

And now, some Phillies!!!
