Capewood’s Collections’ Clearance Cubs

I’ve always been the type to try my luck at grab bag situations, and I’ve been known to do okay. Back when I would frequent card shows in my teen years, there were a couple dealers that would have team bags or shrink wrapped bricks and if you found a hole punched card or a […]

2008 Upper Deck Masterpieces Baseball Review

Masterpieces, Masterpieces, Masterpieces. Bring back Masterpieces. Why won’t they bring back Masterpieces. I’ve heard from bloggers over and over lately. One of you even took it upon yourself to create a placeholder virtual set.

While this wasn’t a product I knew about until I came back to the hobby (just like virtually every product, really), […]

Shrek is Out, Skeletor is In

This guy stepped down as manager today.

What kind of baseball do you play?

My mom always thought he looked like this “guy.”

You be the judge

Well, his plan to retire at the end of the year didn’t exactly come to fruition, but surprisingly, it’s not due to the poor […]

MLB Trade Deadline Passed. Who’d I Get?

Well, today the expected happened. There were a lot of rumors flying around and it could have ended up one of many, many ways, but the fact remains that Los Cubs traded away Ted Lilly and Ryan Theriot to the Dodgers for Blake DeWitt and a couple surprisingly-decent-looking-on-paper prospects.
