1990 Upper Deck Greg Maddux
Maddux is almost as famous for his fielding skills as his pitching greatness. As the winner of 18 Gold Glove award, he will go down as one of the greatest fielding pitchers of all-time!!
And with that being said, Upper Deck tried to show us a different side of Maddux with their [...]

While their were many impressive posts this week, it all to a perfect card to win this week’s winner in the Beat
the Blogger contest. The Blogger posted a respectable score of 7 but it was no
match for Dana Boisvert, who picked each game correctly and hit on the doubler
for a perfect score of 11 to in the week.
This week’s matchups and the Blogger’s picks are be posted below later so make
sure you check back and get your picks posted before the start of the first game to
be eligible to win this week’s prize. As always, good luck.
While I enjoy giving prizes to several people vs. having just one weekly winner, from
this point forward contestants will be asked to provide a tie-breaker on the week’s
last game so we narrow our winner down to one. Contestants will now be asked to
predict the total score from the last game on the list and the closest to the actual
score will be deemed the winner). I’ll also require contestants to post their
e-mail address with their picks so I can track down the winners easier.
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 so look for special prize packages.
This week’s matchups (with Blogger’s picks in parenthesis)

I love finding an underrated player, one who is so very good, but lacks a large audience to play to. Good goaltenders tend to be on the rise of late, one of those young talented goalie is Jon Quick. Last night Jon won another game against a very good Flames team. He made 26 saves [...]

Here’s a video of a box break of 2001 Fleer Genuine I did a short while ago. I will post scans and my thoughts sometime Thursday. Just so you know, the game-used card is unavailable. And yes, I am aware of the screwy audio at the end.
