it was slow for awhile but I think we have successfully revived it.

 

[jjj7880]

Those are some sick Bay cards Dave! I really love that exquisite one, I wish Duke had some exquisite cards too.

 

[morgoth]

I really hope Zach is healthy now. We need some stability in the rotation.

I am looking forward to the second half as much as that makes me a masochist, I think we will know alot more about our team and young players in Sept.

 

[pghbuccos]

James thanks and I agree Exquisite is a great set. possibly one of my favorite sets ever produced.

morgoth I am excited as well to see some more games and the stretch drive should be interesting.

 

[jjj7880]

I'll be going to 2 games here at the end of this month when Pittsburg comes to Colorado

that's cool hopefully Duke is starting 1 of the games. what are you going to get him to sign this year?

 

[jjj7880]

wow that top of the 1st was ridiculous. If Doumit could actually throw him out they wouldn't have gotten that run...

Dave, I actually don't have alot of stuff to get signed I sent a ton of stuff to Mark I was thinking about asking him if he minded if he sent it back so I could have some stuff to get signed lol.

base runners have been running all over the bases this season against the Pirates ::facepalm::

you can always have him sign that bat after you win it.

I don't think I could bring it into the game, I know my buddy tried to bring in a bat at the KC Royals stadium and they wouldn't let him. Do you know?

I've never tried but I guess that makes sense.

James, just let me know if you want me to mail that stuff back. Still haven't had any luck with Duke (or anyone else inside that park for that matter) this year. Almost caught him while he was rehabbing at AA, but a family emergency came up and I had to call off the trip. I did grab one Duke-related item I'm fairly certain you don't have so hopefully that will be a decent consolation prize. Just drop me a PM if you want me to get those back in the mail to you.

Did anyone go to either of the signings this weekend? We were at my gf's parents for a wedding, which was only about 10 mins from the Neil Walker signing, so I only hit that one. Probably could have made it to both if I timed it right, but there's always next time.

 

[pghbuccos]

I was at work so I missed both

 

[subject to change]

I was expecting the Walker signing to get pretty busy since it was right in Richland. I got there about 20 mins before the start, and was maybe the 10th or so in line. We were in and out of there by about 5 after, with maybe another 5-10 people still in line when we left. Neil was very friendly, posing for pictures, chatting with everyone and had a huge grin on his face the entire time we were there. It was a really good experience, and I'm rooting for him even more now than I was before.

 

[pghbuccos]

good to hear he was a great guy. he comes across as such a nice person in his interviews. short lines are always the best.

 

[mstng99tim]

I went to the Alvarez signing, and it was COMPLETELY different than the Jones signing I went to just a few weeks ago. For Jones, there were only about 15 people, for Alvarez, there was probably 80 people.

Here's what I got signed.
