Name Your Team-Revisited

There has to be more than 4 brave team collectors in the Blog-O-Sphere.  Doesn't there?

Heck a Canadian Dodger fan even got into the mix.  So as of today, I have sent 200 Dodgers to Grcl and Spiegel, 200 Mets to Benny and 200 Tigers and Pirates to some random dudes.  I am looking to package up more.  I had a ton of fun pulling cards I hadn't seen in years, and hopefully making some collectors out there happy.  Please let me know what you think when they arrive.

Help me, help you.

For those who may be interested in the original post, check here.
For any lazy ones, look below.


All you have to do.

Tell me what team you want. Tell me how many cards of that team (25, 50, 100, 200, 500) you want. Send me your address.

I will package together an assortment of your team from 1980-2012 (base, inserts, stars, HOFers, autos) and send it to you. There will be little to no duplication in the lot. Then you open, enjoy and send what you feel the lot is worth to me. Including shipping costs of course.

I Need Another Break

Another group break that is.  I have become fascinated group team breaks and have been involved in a few over the last few months.  What I haven't done, is pursue just Orioles.  The hits in most breaks don't hit my needs list, so I have been prospecting.  Sometimes with better luck than others.

My favorite Dimwit and his monthly breaks were the original culprit.  He is changing the process of his breaks but I will still surely be there moving forward.  The last break I took a shot at the Reds.  Then decided to go for the Orioles as well.  My random teams the Royals and Pirates.

I should have stopped at the Reds.

Some Masterpiece Orioles was pretty much the only other bright spot in my break. 

 

I decided to try my luck at an expensive half case of Chrome and half case of Finest break from Freedom Cardboard.  It was a random break and I was hoping for the Rangers, Nationals, Yankees, Angels or A's.  Then the Rangers, Angels and Nationals were removed from the break to random off.  BOO.  It was too late to back out and I got the Cubs.  Correction, I got Starlin Castro and a 5 other guys.

 Yeah, my break was bad, real bad.  So a few more freebies were sent my way.

My nemesis friend Spankee is having a ridiculous Moneyball Break, and what better way to try and profit once.  I sold my soul to Satan for this one, we shall see how it pans out.  I couldn't resist.  I am a numbers guy and the volume was too much to turn down.  Now I just hope the Yankees and Red Sox yield maybe a hit or two more than last year.   I will let you know once the break is revealed.



Name Your Team.

Name your price. 

I have decided to try something different to move along some volume from my collection.  And it all centers around YOU. 

YOUR team.  YOUR quantity.  YOUR price.

How what you have to do.

Losing Streak Snapped at 14

For the first time since my teenage years, my Baltimore Orioles will not be losers.  This afternoon they groud out a 14 inning marathon win against the rival Tampa Bay Rays.  Win number 81.

Huge.

The Birds are back, at least for this season.  They are playing spectacular team baseball winning their 13th straight extra inning affair and 16 of 17 one-run games.

If the Red Sox can help out a little tonight by beating the Yanks, Baltimore would be alone in first place.  Who'd a thunk it?

I thunk it.

OK Pittsburgh, now it's your turn.

Holy Cow!

I love the Orioles and watching my team play this year has made me a worse blogger.  I care about each game, pitch and off the field move more than flagging down an autograph.  Can you blame me?

This team is amazing.  I stress team.  No player in contention for MVP.  No Cy Young candidate.  Maybe one or two reluctant Rookie of the Year votes for Wei-Yin Chen.  Three Gold Gloves?  Nothing spectacular.

Just damn good baseball.

Tonight was no different. Jason Hammel pitched a helluva game coming off the DL.  The offense was potent.  Then the bullpen forgot how to throw strikes.  Blowing a five run lead in the eighth.  The Orioles charged back.  Three BOMBS in the bottom of the eighth told the Yankees to shove it.  Adam Jones and Chris Davis told the Yankees to shove it.   I tell the Yankees to shove it.

Mark Reynolds definitely tells the Yankees to shove it. Six times.

Eight home runs in his last seven games overall.  Six home runs in his last four games against New York.  Three, 2 homer games in the last week against the Evil Empire.  He started the last weekend series with 12 homers, finished today with 20.  Straight beast.

Go Birds.

Now I should probably finish my Operational Plan for my interview tomorrow.

The last Hall of Fame autograph needed for the collection was another gift from "K".  He has taken good care of me over the years and it is much appreciated. 

 

All that is left is to upgrade Luis Aparicio, Hoyt Wilhelm and Roberto Alomar to Orioles cards.
