There’s actually four hockey releases already announced for the 2009/10 season out there already, I’ve just been lax in bringing them to you. So I figured I’d start off with my favorite looking of the bunch and a set I will probably struggle to collect once again – 2009/10 OPC Hockey.
Included again this year is [...]

The Beat the Blogger winner will be announced Tuesday a.m. so please check
back to see if you’re a winner. The matchups for this week will also be posted Tuesday
so make sure you get yours posted to win the prize this time around.
For those unfamiliar with the Beat the Blogger contest, the idea is simple.
The Blogger posts 10 matchups each week and then selects his choices for the winners
of those matchups. Contestants enter the Beat the Blogger contest by clicking on
the “Comment” section below the post with the matchups and then select their
own 10 winners. You can also designate one of your picks as a “Doubler” and
you will receive an extra point if you’re correct so don’t forget to designate your
“
Doubler”
pick and increase your chances of winning. If you Beat The Blogger’s total and post
the high score for the week, you win. The regular weekly prize is an authentic
signed 8-by-10 color photo of stars such as LaDainian Tomlinson, Drew
Brees, Marshall Faulk, Santonio Holmes, Gale Sayers, Catfish Hunter and many more.
From time to time, the Blogger will sweeten the pot for the weekly contest and that’s
where the Chipper Jones jersey comes into play. If we can get more than 300 entries this
week, the weekly winner will receive the Jones jersey so we need everybody to spread
the word about the contest so we can reach our goal.
This week’s Matchups (winning picks in parenthesis)
Saturday June 20
MLB
Tampa at NY Mets (Tampa)
Chicago WS at Cincinnati (Chicago)
Atlanta at Boston (Boston)
LA Dodgers at LA Angels (Dodgers)
Arizona at Seattle (Seattle)
Sunday June 21
Milwaukee at Detroit (Detroit)
Oakland at San Diego (San Diego)
Houston at Minnesota (Houston)
PGA Tour U.S. Open
Who will win: Tiger Woods or Rest of the Field? (Field)
What will the final winning score be: -1 to -6 or -7 or lower? (-1 to -6)

This was my first trip to Citizens Bank Park, and I must say its one of the nicest stadiums I’ve ever been to. Check out some of the photos! More can be found on Facebook.
Connie Mack
Suite #65 is where I got to watch the game. Probably the best box I’ve ever watched [...]

Inspired by this post at Traded Cards, my 9-year old son is hard at work making his own “Shopped” creation in MS Paint. Check back later (maybe tomorrow if he doesn’t get done by the time I leave for work) and I’ll put up some sort of prize (though not near as cool as Andy’s [...]

I know the popular thing to do these days is bash Jose for being a cheater and ratting out all of Major League Baseball. Fine, you either love him or hate him but lately on eBay, Jose has been getting more love than he has received in quite sometime.
It’s already nearly impossible to find one [...]

I have considered dropping my ‘Maybin-Meter’ feature from the blog a few times. It’s easy to check box scores and report how Cameron is doing in AAA ball, and I would probably do this even if I hadn’t set up the ‘Maybin-Meter’. But it is really hard to get excited about it since the pictures and [...]

2008 was a banner year for Kansas City Royals 1B prospect Kila Ka’aihue. The 25 year old slugger blasted pitching at both the AA and AAA levels, hitting .314 with 37 HR 100 RBI 91 runs and a league leading 104 walks. Expectations for Ka’aihue were high until the Royals traded for Florida’s 1B Mike [...]
