I realize if I check the Sports Card Blogroll I’m probably
18th in line for making a St. Patricks Day pun on my blog. You know what – much like Jay Cutler Idooooonnnnn’ttttt carrrrrrrrre. Long day
at work today. Working at a hotel in downtown
Chicago, especially one along the river, doesn’t make for a fun day at work on
this holiday. At least all of guests
looked like they were having a good time.
Well let’s get to the cards.
Kyle Lohse – Do you know Kyle has been in the league for
twelve seasons? And it took him that long to finally post an ERA under 3.00 for
the season. You could argue that his last two seasons have been the best
stretch of his career. Good on him.
Trevor Cahill – I just sold a Cahill card on eBay. Not this card, but still that’s 99 cents in
my pocket (plus a little markup on the shipping).
Chad Billingsley – “Over here, Chad over here. Don’t look at the camera!”
Kendrys Morales – There must be something happening to the
right of the photographer. Four cards in a row with players looking that way.
R.A. Dickey – Short Print!
Double Short Print! Not only is
this short printed, but it’s the not-as-rare-as-I-thought-therefore-not-as-valuable-as-I-thought
“action” pose. It will be interesting to
see how Dickey does in the AL East this year with the big contract in his
pocket. Two warning signs in my book.
Yoenis Cespedes
Clubhouse Collection Jersey Relic – The Big Hit! I like Cespedes, but man did he pick a shitty
year to be a rookie. If it wasn’t for Harper and Trout I think the Cuban would
have had much more ROY hype (and I would probably know exactly how to say his
name).
Chris Iannetta – “Hey ladies. I’m Chris.
I play a little ball. Gotta nice
smile. What ‘cha doing later? Yeah, I’m penciled
in to be the starter this year. Time for
you to get on this bandwagon. Call me..”
David Murphy – Dave beats to his own drum. Y’all look to the left, Dave looks to the
right. Y’all want home runs? Dave hits
singles. Actually he had 15 homeruns last year.
Color my surprised.
Best card – Yoenis Cespedes – Relic cards win by default
(but Iannetta was a close second).
Worst Card – Trevor Cahill. Just not a flattering photo.
