What a night! The Reds squeaked past the Cubs in a 4-3 extra inning thriller, we saw a future Hall of Famer make his first ever major league start (dream big, Matt!), we got some free baseball cards (very cheaply made, but still pretty nice looking), George Foster signed some autographs (and smiled nice and [...]

The card you see below was donated by Upper Deck for the Million Visitor contest held a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, the card arrived late and had to be held back. On Wednesday I sent out the last of the trade/prizes so with that out of the way, it’s time for yet another contest.
This is [...]

That’s right TMM. Through my Mom. Last weekend my Mom left for Florida on a trip with some friends. She told me that she would be staying at the same hotel as the Brewers while they were on the road playing the Marlins. I naturally gave her a stack of cards to try and get [...]

Here is my pathetic pack:
The McKinley rookie card is a real winner, he did a tour of 6 years in the minors but never cracked AAA. I do like the Castilla, Ventura, Belle and Cuddyer cards, but the McKinley and Segignol cards are losers for me.
Pack Review: 3.5/5.0 – not bad, but I was hoping [...]

My kids are big fans of iCarly, and as such have decided to make their own webshow. The latest episode was filmed last night at the Reds Hall of Fame. It’s short (only about 3 minutes) and pretty cute (if I do say so myself). Check it out if you have a few minutes to [...]

Last night at the Reds Hall of Fame, one of the workers told me they only have 4 of these left…
You may ask, “What is that?” I say, “It’s a season ticket book from 2008 with all the tickets in tact.” You may say, “Big deal.” I say, “It is.”
You see, in 2008 the Reds [...]

This past Wednesday I decided to take a three-day vacation away from Wax Heaven, the Internet, and even television. While on this trip I was laying back in a hammock wondering what celebrity might die while I am away. Upon my return this Saturday morning I found out it was none other than David Carradine.
According [...]

Last ngiht’s AA action saw the debut of Florida Marlins elite prospect Michael Stanton. Touted by some to be the second coming of Dave Winfield, Stanton collected two hits in four AB and drove in two runs. His promotion to Jacksonville seems to be well-timed and I am most interested to see if he can continue to be disciplined at the plate. Prior [...]

I started a new job 2 months ago. And with that new job came my end to web-surfing between the hours of 8:00 AM through 5:00 PM. And as anyone with young children can atest to, it is hard to escape to blog or surf the web until the kiddies are taken care of and [...]
