Can you enlighten me on those 4 variations of the Extreme Players card? I only know the Bronze, Silver, and Gold versions, which doesn't add up to what's in your picture. Thanks!
Haha. Yes. I couldn't believe the Rox beat them in game 1. But sure enough, the Yanks got the next two. Colorado has not won a series against any team this entire year.
OK one more. The 2003 Playoff Prestige Xtra Points Green.
A census taker once tried to question me. I ate his liver with some fava beans, and a nice chianti. ffff. ffff. fff. ff. ff.
And now for something completely different
Actually, it's a few of the more humorous Alomar cards in my collection...
1994 Upper Deck SP Die Cut. Homie is talking on a cell phone...and not one of these little black mirrors we carry around now. It's a real 90's cell phone baby!
I remember in...
That's a good point. I saw that too, but honestly couldn't be bothered to question it. But seriously, one photo shows the card, then another shows a closeup with sharpie all over it. What gives, @nosterbor?
Say, that reminds me of something...
So the sad sack Rockies are now 8-40 on the season.
For those of you keeping score, that's a 0.167 winning percentage, which puts them on pace to be the second worst team in the entire history of major league baseball in this country. Of course they won't finish that bad, but we are 30% of the...
Tornadoes east of Denver yesterday, some visible from the city. Nobody killed but some serious damage. Which reminds me of some trivia:
Question: five of the most powerful tornadoes ever recorded happened within 50 miles of what US city?
Answer: OKC!
Trying to talk sense to @nosterbor on anything, and I mean anything, is utterly futile.
You might as well take a shovel out of your shed and beat yourself in the head with it. And I mean beat yourself in the head hard. Repeatedly.
Oh did they? I really didn't know that until I pulled up good ol' FCB.
I understand why firing the manager/coach is done. It's easy and it doesn't cost you much. I know they don't play the game, but it sends a message to the guys that do. And sometimes it works.
Case in point - the Nuggets...
Oh god. I just saw the score. I'm turning the radio broadcast on right now!
San Diego 21, Colorado 0. That's the Padres and the Rockies, by the way. NOT the Chargers and the Broncos :-)
You just can't make this stuff up, people.
So yesterday I learned about this one. Courtesy of my fellow Alomar collector Chris. It's the 2003 Topps Kanebo Series 2 bronze parallel.
When he told me about it, I was a bit incredulous. But it's for real. And probably as rare as the Kanebo Series 1 black parallel. Maybe 5-10 copies, if you...
Copy that. Didn't know the back story!
But any time you want to drop knowledge while working in a reference to Ron Jeremy's tube snake, well, you go right ahead sir.
I remember watching an honest, legit (not p0rn) documentary about him years ago. Turns out he's one of the cheapest men on...
So last week the Rox actually won two games in a row. Count 'em. TWO! I couldn't help but wonder a little bit...
But of course, they proceeded to lose 6 straight, including getting swept in today's double header versus the Tigers, by a combined score of 21-3.
They have been outscored by 109...
