YASNY

I have Robin Ventura card from Team USA. Don't remember what brand, but I think it's an '89 vintage. Probably Topps.

The oldest complete set I have is 1983 Topps ... it has Sandburg, Gwynn and Boggs rookies. I know the special inserts and stuff are what's hot now. That is what drove me out of collecting. I collected as more of a fan than a collector. I have never sold any card unless I used the money to buy a another card.

I used to actively collect ... back in the early 90's. I have just held on to what I accumulated. I was focused on and collect most of Carlton fisk's cards, besides various sets and stuff.

Frank Thomas is THE man! Way to go Big Hurt!

This thread is useless.

I usually read these game day threads. But there is no way in hell I'm going to read 43 pages worth. Dayum!

We can't let up against these guys this time. We need to kick some but and go into the KC series hot. Then sweep those mf'er's.

Hell yes... we owe the D-Rays a good old fashion butt kicking.

Because a 7 game winning streak feels so good.... f*** YES!!!!!

I've said alll along that Garland will be a good pitcher. He's very young and it just takes time to learn how to pitch in the big leagues. Mark Buehrle was the exception rather than the rule. A Buehrle-Garland tandem should be the heart of our rotation for years to come.

KC and Minnesota split while we took two from the Jays. Couldn't ask for better results. We need to keep putting bthe pressure on KC. They'll crack if we do. Their pitching can't hold up.

Hawk must be sweating bullets right about now.

White has been pretty damn effective since the 1st of June. He sucked for two months, but he's doing well now. We should lay off the dude as he just may help us win this thing.

That seems a little steep to me. With Webster going over, I thought the Rangers would only be able to take one more player. I figured Webster and Rupe. Oh well, such is life.

You come here and I'll buy the beer.

I may not be right, but I'm optimistic.

I believe that motorcycle accident he had last offseason messed up his swing early in the season. They did the right thing by sending him down and letting him work it out in AAA. But yes, he was starting to come alive at the plate when we got Everett. I'd like to see him start a couple of games a week to keep him sharp. We could rest Everett and Lee each, once a week.

Valentin's always been streaky. He'll get on a hot streak when we need it the most.

If I remember corredtly, it's $4.50 per beer at USCell.

12 errors? Wow. 101 games into the season, that's not bad at all. We should be able to live with that from StJosE6, shouldn't we?

Are you buying?

Steff. It looks like a very lovely home. I hope it's filled with love and happiness for you and your loved ones.

What a concept!

Thomas ... he gets numbers 400 and 401

I've got my hopes up, and will keep them there as long as we have a realistic chance.
