Time to start prepping for fantasy baseball.<br />
<br />
How i love the smell of hot dogs in winter.<br />
<br />

<br />
sorry, no idea where i was going with that. <br />
<br />
I was lucky enough to draft with Lenny Melnick and a bunch of his listeners<br />
Feel free to check it out<br />

Pick 1 Pick 2 (<a href="http://shlabotnikreport.wordpress.com/2013/11/25/201314-hot-stove-custom-the-rangers-trade-for-prince-fielder/">great custom</a> card)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of power in my first two picks</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FOAhNO5D7BA/UtmbfHnSmcI/AAAAAAAACq0/D5hUBlZIyIg/s1600/scherzer+max.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-FOAhNO5D7BA/UtmbfHnSmcI/AAAAAAAACq0/D5hUBlZIyIg/s1600/scherzer+max.png" height="320" width="227" /></a> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EL3UUe3PqDA/UtmbfCiI2_I/AAAAAAAACqw/IrYJK8t6Xxk/s1600/mO_VOxKqZt5-tT_9yIbgJzw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-EL3UUe3PqDA/UtmbfCiI2_I/AAAAAAAACqw/IrYJK8t6Xxk/s1600/mO_VOxKqZt5-tT_9yIbgJzw.jpg" height="320" width="236" /></a><br />
Pick 3 Pick 4<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am not sure why but Scherzer put up Kershaw numbers and can be had much later</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then grabbed some speed and my SS</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HK7sMB0jGyA/UtmdeEbCoTI/AAAAAAAACrI/bDfMaqfayeg/s1600/Marte+Topps+Opening+Day+F.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HK7sMB0jGyA/UtmdeEbCoTI/AAAAAAAACrI/bDfMaqfayeg/s1600/Marte+Topps+Opening+Day+F.JPG" height="320" width="227" /></a> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K28hm8bqsQU/UtmdeBg4INI/AAAAAAAACrE/RMRzYfaXlTg/s1600/51zOZqEb5nL._SY300_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-K28hm8bqsQU/UtmdeBg4INI/AAAAAAAACrE/RMRzYfaXlTg/s1600/51zOZqEb5nL._SY300_.jpg" height="320" width="229" /></a> </div>
Pick 5 Pick 6<br />
<br />
Got more speed and picked up my other corner spot, i really like the balance so far<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t4VPQ1GkyNI/UtmemROLZEI/AAAAAAAACrY/J5xdS-x3ru8/s1600/altuve2013archive.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-t4VPQ1GkyNI/UtmemROLZEI/AAAAAAAACrY/J5xdS-x3ru8/s1600/altuve2013archive.jpg" height="320" width="221" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-72GZ25k0uiw/Utmemf0iwLI/AAAAAAAACrc/t6DiHras2LA/s1600/1983toppsroyalsgregholland.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-72GZ25k0uiw/Utmemf0iwLI/AAAAAAAACrc/t6DiHras2LA/s1600/1983toppsroyalsgregholland.jpg" height="320" width="226" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Pick 6 Pick 7</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
gathering more speed at my 2b spot as well as my first closer</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And since this is a mock draft, i'll just go ahead and show the rest of my roster and say I got four closers, and except Scherzer. I took the rest of my starters really late. Which would probably be a problem in a real league, but i am fan of pitch and ditch, so i am not overly concerned. After all that is the point of a mock draft, to try things. I love how late i got Kendry.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for destroying the fun of the HOF talk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
now its PED all the time</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this is no fun</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but PED is now part of the HOF talk</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
true</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so here is my two cents</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and what is beyond annoying to me</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the last few days</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and i mean like fingernails on chalkboard, annoying</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
he didn't fail a test</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
..</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
REALLY are @%#%$^ kidding me!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and this goes for any player and not just arod</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
didn't lance say that and we all know how that turned out</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i am so sick of hearing that phrase</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
isn't that the point of a Balco or Biogenesis</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The MILLIONAIRES pay to not fail a test</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
SHOCKING!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i know right</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
they have millions they want to keep making millions</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To anybody who says that phrase </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to all the news commentators</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
radio show hosts</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
your not doing your job</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
your the news</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you make money reporting the news</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
do some investing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
pay someone to investigate if you don't know how</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that's what the arbitrator did</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and he thought based on that and the evidence</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
arod is guilty</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
hence the awesome punishment</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i think it should go a full season for first offense</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and lifetime ban for the second</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
defending any player</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
with that response</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
is just not good enough</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
it pathetic, its lazy</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(please don't give the in a court of law thing)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i don't want them in jail</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
this is public opinion</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so yes you have to show me proof of innocence</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
before i believe you magically did </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
what was never done before</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
what no scout saw coming</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
what a hundred years of baseball has showed us</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that phrase is like in the 90's when someone would ask </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
an athlete if they did steroids</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and their response was "I work hard"</div>

really doesn't everyone at the level work hard</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but that was the PR statement</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and the news just said okay and went on their merry way</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and now there is a huge MESS</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
my favorite part</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
of the 60 minutes clip i saw</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
was Bosch talking about how to correctly pee in a cup</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to effect the test</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
get as little of the outside of the stream of urine in the cup</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and to do it mid-stream</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
start peeing and bring the cup to the stream</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
that's just amazing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I think its time Alex to say goodbye</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Learn what integrity is and just take your punishment like a man</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then retire</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i know it may be hard since your whole life was probably</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
doing the opposite of what integrity is</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but try it, it might feel good</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and i can't believe i am about to say this but</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
do the yankees a favor and step down</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
let them off the hook for the 60 million</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
you obvious are not owed</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
since you are not legit </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
after all that is the real reason this show is continuing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the right thing is never the easy thing</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and feel free to </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
take down every player you know did steroids</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Thank you baseball for thoroughly entertaining me for the past couple of days, I am still not even close to being tired of all the talk about how good of players they are. All the talk about players who didn't make it. And all the fun stories about players come out this time of year. I am just giddy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
It was a great day, I fell in love with Fenway and Boston, even though my most vivid memories are of Puckett in batting practice, crushing balls over the Green Monster and to deep center and Morris dominating the Sox even if the box score (stats) don't show it - he was AWESOME!!<br />
<br />
I really hope the veterans committee can rectify the writers error. Mr. Morris your HOFer to me, and I am sure you will be an official one soon.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading my HOF post, I really hope to start blogging again. <br />

<br />
One of my most favorite players is a Yankee. (i know it happens sometimes) <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5zXfD7Tlfvo/UXVf_jsaM4I/AAAAAAAACeg/hXCW1nnvlLE/s1600/2013mlb_ichiro.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5zXfD7Tlfvo/UXVf_jsaM4I/AAAAAAAACeg/hXCW1nnvlLE/s200/2013mlb_ichiro.jpg" width="142" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
So
while reading http://mycardboardmistress.blogspot.com/, there was a
post on a 08 UD X pack and i came across this little blurb, "while I
understand Yankees hate" and it made me think...<br />
<br />
I seem to bash the Yankees when i get the chance, but am i a Yankee hater??<br />
<br />
I always thought while growing up in FL, that if i every moved to NY, i
would become an instant Yankee fan. There was no MLB teams in FL at the time. Only when i did finally get up to NY , i couldn't, it wasn't fun, I just couldn't root for them, they
were suppose to win. Maybe because Tampa had a team i liked and I have
gone to games at the Trop and i was a Devil Ray/Rays fan by then. I just couldn't
throw the switch to like them. So it wasn't hate as much as was just rooting against who was suppose to win.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
But this season , i dont feel any ill regards toward them. I actually like most
of their players, Ichiro, Hafner, Wells, Overbay, Youk, all players i
have been a fan of since i started playing fantasy baseball in 07. Not a
player collector type of fan but players i always liked to get on my
fantasy teams. I also liked Tex on the Rangers, Granderson on the
Tigers and CC on the Indians, so strange do i like the yankees now??<br />
<br />
The
main thing i had against them is that they are suppose to win. They
spend the most every year and therefore are suppose to win it. I just
couldnt root for them and liking the Rays and Sox just makes me, not a
Yankee fan.<br />
<br />
but now the Dodgers are spending more money and have more to spend<br />
<br />
so now the Yanks arent suppose to win and i like alot of the players<br />
<br />
am i a yankee fan now?<br />
<br />
....<br />
<br />
.... <br />
<br />
nope, but i think i can say, this season i won't root against them like have in the past. Especially since i have Ichiro, Wells, and Hafner on fantasy teams.<br />
<br />
so now being in Texas, i like the Rangers got hats and T-shirts, can't wait to get to a game in Arlington<br />
<br />
but for now my heart still belongs to the Rays, that may change in a few years if i'm still here in Texas but who knows what the future holds. I may end up back in NY or back to FL, or who know the wife and i always wanted to live in California<br />
<br />
So, Here are the 2013 Rays (i so love mlb.com's fantasy preview each year) <br />

<br />
.... Golly<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
..... Mmmmmm<br />
<br />
<br />
Heritage, I am not a fan this year, you are one ugly set and you feel really weirdly slippery. Which is bizarre because I like the set design, but the photos, the photos are just so....., so... BLAH!. I know i usually write a few comments on each pack but i am trying to be a better person and if you don't anything nice to say, the saying goes you just don't say anything at all. Well i better zip my lip. On the positive, the Trout MM is a nice card and i don't mind the Leaders cards or dual rookie cards. Hope enjoyed my blaster, unfortunately i did not. <br />
<br />
Thanks for checking out This week in Cardboarding!! <br />
Hope you have a great week in life and cardboarding :)<br />

Four Hours til the first game of the season, my now local team

innings after bath time with little miss awesome (the daughter)</div>

A really quick recap, I am now in Texas and my daughter is two point five, wifey started a new job and i am working my way up a small business but doing art stuff. Yep that about sums it up. I have really missed collecting and even sharing the one or two things i pick up sporadically. Its the beginning of a new season and I am inspired to give blogging another go. As always I hope you enjoy my little play by play on collecting and baseball.<br />
<br />

With Emily's arrival i am thinking it will be my only team this year. <a href="http://budgetbaseballcardboarding.blogspot.com/2010/03/you-voted-and-i-kept.html">Last year</a> didn't pan out so well, finished right in the middle at 6th place. My big gamble on pitching was a bust, my middle infield never got going (Lopez, Beckham and Andrus), and Morales cele-breaking didn't help any, but i picked up Huff and at least that became a moot point. So its off to 2011 and just like last year i would like some help. My league has added an extra keeper for the 2011 season, so we are keeping six players, the poll is up and feel free to let me know your thoughts.</div></div>chris OKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08858562202706780046noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051038288380521471.post-61124931534926740932010-12-30T15:33:00.002-05:002010-12-30T15:33:00.487-05:00Santa CardboardingIts funny to be so occupied, with baby on the brain, that you don't recognize the shape of a blaster. Well, while the shape of DVDs was obvious enough, this one brick looking one, sparked my interest because i couldn't place the shape of it. So i ripped that present first, and felt a bit silly not recognizing it, but happy to have some cardboard on this special day.

So if you happen to be insanely rich<br />
and want to get a complete strange something for Christmas<br />
feel free to bid a couple thousand<br />
and mail it to me, i won't mind in the least :)<br />
or<br />
win it for yourself and blog about it<br />
that would work too<br />
<br />

I have been trying to get a base Sterling below five and have been coming up on the short end of the bidding emails. So when I won this, i was dumbfounded. I still like the base better, ya know the blue, but i guess beggars can't be choosers. Still really unsure what the big deal of sterling is, its just thick cardboard, yet people go crazy and throw away lots of good money for it... i guess its a gambler thing.<br /><br />The Crawford was .95 and i really only put the bid in because there was also a Longoria eTopps card that the seller was also selling, hoping to combine shipping. Only i got outbid on Evan, so of course i won the card i wasn't go for. Go figure. <cough crawford="" cough="" longoria="">So sad to see Crawford leave Tampa but everyone knew it was coming, i am still perturbed that Tampa didn't even make an offer. At least he went way of the Red Sox, so i can still enjoy collecting his cards.<br /><br /></cough>Have an awesome cardboarding week and thanks for checking out TWIC :)chris OKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08858562202706780046noreply@blogger.com0
