The Mob is a Fickle Brother

George Bush and italian Romano Prodi meeting

“The mob is fickle brother; he will be forgotten in a week.” How true that Gladiator quotation is.  Who is he you may ask?

I Bleed Yankee Pinstripes

Everyone knows I love the Yankees…I bleed pinstripes for Christ sakes. But let’s face the facts…what’s the deal with A-rod? He’s faced more criticism on and off the field than any player except for Bonds and Clemons over the last couple years.

Dan Uggla Exquisite Auto

Dan Uggla Exquisite Auto

I just received the newest addition to my Dan Uggla collection in the mail: I have always liked autographs signed in silver ink and this card is no exception. Add in the fact that it is an Exquisite baseball card and you’ve got some serious eye appeal. I do wish there were some multi color [...]

I finally gave into the craze and ponied up for a few packs of 2010 Topps Pro Debut and I must say I was really impressed. I’m by no means the prospecting type but I certainly enjoy a little Minor League Baseball action every once in awhile.  Plus I really like 2010 Topps Series 1 [...]
