I have some pics that were sent to me. I will just have to use those.

Cubs got thrashed today. 17-1

 

[MojoDan]

Hope Phillies keep Fontenot in the lineup even with Utley back. 3b is great if it makes him an everyday player.

Howdy do all~!

I don't see him being anything more than a pinch hitter or fill in for when the vets need a day off.

Taylor - Looking forward to seeing the pics

Dan - Bummed about the Cubs game...I have Samardzija as one of my fantasy starters...raised my ERA I do have Dubront though so I now have some cheering to do for your Red Sox

Darren - Howdy howdy howdy howdy! (In toy shark's voice from Toy Story)

I would think they'd be happy to have him with their woes this season. Hitting .339 since he got called up.

Okay finally some pics from the LCS visit. I must say I am pretty stoked all around...some are for PC and most are for trade/sell to fund some Felix cards

Got two boxes of 2012 Topps Tier One...both boxes had an extra hit in them which was unexpected...sorry for the large phone pics:

Box 1:
Ian Kennedy jersey 80/399 and Freddie Freeman jersey 385/399:

Johnny Giavotella auto 338/385 and Will Clark auto 52/245:

Box 2...pretty nice
Bruce Sutter jersey 21/150

Dan Uggla auto 13/50 and Salvador Perez auto 4/25

Here are the singles I picked up at the LCS as well...kinda need some help on the Jeters even though one of them is damaged

First up is a VERY cool moving in gift from the owner...SUCH a nice guy!

You need to PC the Griffey auto!

 

[schillingfan]

Massive hit on the Junior. Congrats Alex!

 

[MojoDan]

Awesome stuff Alex. I like the Will Clark!

Miss the days of Izzy?

 

[George_Calfas]

Miss the days of Izzy?

We are still living those days, but now are middle relief is now killing me.

 

[Gwynn545]

Hmmm...I have had this Gwynn card forever, and no one has shed any light on it... This is a clue!

 

[MojoDan]

We are still living those days, but now are middle relief is now killing me.

So still liking Motte then....

 

[George_Calfas]

So still liking Motte then....

I wish we could find a Smith/Sutter type of guy......I would even take another Eck.

Some elite names there. Anyone on the farm that they have high hopes for that could see time in relief?
