    Hamels plunks Harper... later admits he did it on purpose.

    +1 Cole is about as Old School as a pair of yoga pants. The rules of being "old school" is similar to the rules of fight club: You don't talk about being old school. You just go out and do it and shrug when you're asked and say "I was just trying to pitch inside and it got away from me." Or...

    Hamels plunks Harper... later admits he did it on purpose.

    I don't think this is going away any time soon.... and I think the NL East and baseball will be better bc of a potential increase in intensity in this rivalry. I can't fault Rizzo for being honest. It was a pretty chickenshit move by Hamels. You protect some code when someone actually does...

    LA Angels and Pujols Fans

    Oh Albert! Albert really is a dick! I once asked him for an autograph. I was polite and I had my Down syndrome autograph 'beard' with me, and we were the only one around, and he walked up and punched me right in the balls. Then, as I was laying on the ground, he gave me a smug look and stole...

    What's the longest continuously opertating LCS in the US?

    This is a really interesting question ... only because so many shops have closed over the years that it would seem to be a rarity for one to be open for so long. I immediately thought of the House of Cards in Wheaton/Silver Spring MD, which has had several different locations over the years. I...

    Does this happen alot?

    It's against the rules for him to steal your picture, so you can report it to ebay and his auction will be taken down.

    2010 Topps Heritage Jeter Sale - Unreal

    What's the deal with the Black Refractors? Are they rarer than they should be at /62? I may have seen one of the guy i collect, Bronson Arroyo. And I can't even be sure of that.

    IP autograph tips needed before I head to Spring Training!

    You might want to grab some "blanks" to take with you in case you see guys that you don't have cards of, or run out of cards of guys that sign a ton. www.theautographcard.com makes the best ones in my opinion - they're very nice looking and don't need to be prepped for signing. I also saw on...

    Have you ever taken a chance with the purchase........

    Warning: I'm going to out myself as a 13-year-old pack searcher here (I'm 33 now...), and sorry for thread-jacking... How rare were the 1991 Topps buybacks? I remember when that promotion came out I was 13, and the grocery store near my house used to have rack packs. I used to go through them...

    Johnson STILL impressed with HARPER!

    And Livan Hernandez is the starter... some say the speed of his curveball is comparable to slow pitch softball! Disclaimer: Livan is one of my fav players, so I actually hope he makes him look foolish on a bugs bunny curve and then Harper jacks one out against a Houston reliever.

    A pretty cool read for long-suffering Orioles fans

    I was at the Yankees road game that was supposed to be Cal's last game. Game actually never ended. I think it was suspended and never completed tied 1-1 (?) in the 15th inning because of rain. Horrible day for baseball in the Bronx, with rain and mist the whole game, but it was my first (and...

    A pretty cool read for long-suffering Orioles fans

    Not my blog, and I'm not really an O's fan anymore, but I found this to be pretty interesting. http://eutawstreetcardboard.blogspot.co ... mment-form

    Was Matt Moore almost a National?

    My thoughts exactly. It didn't make sense. I don't trust XXX was offered for XXX nearly two years after the fact... Plus, didn't the Rays have Carlos Pena at the time?

    Was Matt Moore almost a National?

    Saw this tucked in a Thomas Boswell column about extending Ryan Zimmerman: It’s not just that the Nats’ front office has, in three years, rebuilt the farm system from a joke to No. 1-rated or swung trades like Michael Morse for Ryan Langerhans and Ramos for Matt Capps. It’s also the past deals...

    Has it actually been confirmed that 06 UD SFX Blues are /25?

    Greatest brawl of all time?

    I say this not trying to be a jerk, because I grew up rooting for the Orioles (now a Nats fan...), but the saddest thing about this is that it took place when a Yankees-Orioles game or series still mattered... when the Orioles mattered. Seeing the vets the Orioles had like Jimmy Key and BJ...

    Has it actually been confirmed that 06 UD SFX Blues are /25?

    I realize now that this was issued in one series. Always thought it was two, bc that's the way reg UD was issued, right? And that explains teh discrepancy in silver and printing plates? Weird.

    Has it actually been confirmed that 06 UD SFX Blues are /25?

    Add me to the list: I'm unlucky enough to collect a guy that has two cards in the set (Bronson Arroyo). I've got one of the blues, #71, but need a blue of #569 (he's pictured with the Reds). Also need the Silver Spectrum of #71, which according to Beckett (i think), is listed as /25. Can...

    Looking more and more like Harper will break camp w Nats....

    I don't think this is true. From a Wash Post article this morning: The Nationals have insisted only Harper’s preparedness will determine whether he starts 2012 in the majors. But there are also business reasons to justify him starting in the minors. If the Nationals delay his arrival until...

    Looking more and more like Harper will break camp w Nats....

    Remember "Dumb and Dumber," when Jim Carrey's character is trying to hook up with some chick? Substitute Harper and the Nationals: Bryce: What do you think the chances are of a guy like me and a team like you ... ending up breaking camp together? Mike Rizzo: Well, Bryce, that's difficult to...

    Harper's Chrome Autographs Spiking

    I would put the likelihood of him making the team out of spring training at about 5 % - and that's being generous. Signing Rick Ankiel and Mike Cameron this winter is a sign that the Nats are comfortable with a veteran CF, allowing Jayson Werth to stay in RF. This would allow them to let Harper...
