You nailed that one. Although, I see that 17 hasn't been issued since mid-2010, five years ago. That can't be a random coincidence, I'd suppose. Nope definitely looks like Samuels was giving Keith some kind of personal FU...

'Cause if youse don't, and youse just wanna have the cards youse wanna have just so youse could have 'em, youse all must hate this name missing error thing parallel crap that drives the price of some cards to orders of magnitude higher than the price of a common. I hate it. This sort of thing is what drove me from the hobby decades ago. I just got back into it, I figured I would buy a few packs every week, and build just the base set. I went to Topps site, downloaded the series one checklist, and the number of subsets outside of the base set just astonished me.

    Joe McNally's latest blog post on a shoot he did for SI called baseball's glove men. This features the famous shot of Ozzie standing in different parts of the infield with the aid of mirrors. It's a straight shot, without the aid of photoshop. This also includes one of the coolest images I've seen of Keith Hernandez digging out one in the dirt...

    This may be a case of going to the well too often, but Rocky Balboa was surprisingly good.

At least one of these will be Stephen A. Smith. One of these people will complain that he should shut up because he's not their best pitcher despite having an ERA a full point lower than Niese who just happens to have won 4 more games at the time. Will have 6 doubles on the season, including one that hits just below the top of the wall. Will have three wins in the playoffs. Will shoot off fireworks from the parade float. Will appear on no less than 10 different prime-time/late-night talk shows after the season, including Stephen Colbert's. Will reference The Jetes (maybe not like that) at least 14 times in referring to the Mets and New York and 'taking back the town' during the season, but will pitch a CG shutout at Yankee Stadium.

    Parallels = doubles. i.e. more than one of the same card. Actually, I think it would be cool to set up a card exchange here - we trade our doubles with each other to fill in our needs... I pulled a deGrom today. If I get a second one, I'll post it here.

    I'm not sure how fat he is these days but you can tell he's one of those guys who's vulnerable to it. From Adam Rubin this morning. It could be camera angle, lens distortion, Harvey's posture, or he went on the Sid Fernandez seasonal diet plan. You decide:

See, that's where you're dead wrong. Harvey's over-inflated ego never sank below 100%. It'll probably be at 400% as soon as he strikes somebody out in Florida. Niiiice!

Good news: he wins 14 games. 14-5, 3.43, 190 innings, 28 starts, spends a week or so out of commission with an injury scare but it helps him get to the finish line. If he has a 3.43 ERA, he'll be under .500 with this team's offense.

    I hope people don't expect too much from him, because Harvey and his over-inflated ego still have a long road back to be 100%, if he ever will be that again. I can see him with 10-12 wins, maybe a 12-10 record.

    I took the oldest DGW to the comic book shop to pick up her weekly pull, and picked up my first few packs of the year - Metly cards were David Wright, Daniel Murphy and the Met team card (why oh why did they use a shot with the fugly camo unis?). Also: Got an 1973 Bob Oliver card, which was ruined with a "Topps Original 2015" foil stamp; First Pitch card of 105-year old Agnes McGee throwing out the first pitch in Petco Park; First card in the first pack was a Stan Musial highlight card - Serendipity, since Musial was my dad's favorite player; I really think this year's set is Topps' best looking set in a while...

    Just a great movie, but I still think Eddie Redmayne takes the Oscar.
