Derek Lowe pitching in front of a mostly empty stadium. Not entirely certain what the circumstances would around this . . . post rain delay?
Rookie Card of David Patton. Can't say I've ever heard of this kid, but congrats, I hope you surrender many a run to the Brewers over the coming years.
Lance Berkman has become one of my favorite players in MLB due to his consistency with the stick. I had a chance to own him for a very short time in fantasy baseball this year, but ended up dealing him at the deadline for a package containing the As young hurler, Brett Anderson.
Ah, Jason Kendall. I never thought you'd provide much offensive punch when we signed you, but you've now bottomed out with your .598 OPS. .598, yup. I'm sad, but your days as a regular should be over. I'm sure you call a great game, but I think there are probably about 100 other catchers out there that could call a great game and hit for more power and get on base at a decent rate.
Mark Beuhrle, he of the perfect game. I can't believe that no sooner did I trade for you in fantasy baseball did you rip off a string of something like 15 straight perfect innings. It's enough to get me to overlook that drubbing you took against the Yankees last time out.
Last but not least, hey, it's Ervin Santana.
Well that does it for the Topps Series 2 Pack Break. I'm about ready to call off the Youkilis search. It seems no one has his #25 Goudey base card laying around. Stay tuned for the next player on the list.
I'm not sure why but I hated Jason Kendall when he was with the Cubs at the end of the 2007 season. He hit .270 but my impression is that he never got a clutch hit. On a shallower note it may have something to do with that ugly scruffy beard he had.
ReplyDeleteDavid Patton was 3-1 before going on the DL in July. Most recently he was rehabbing in AA. Regarding his card, what happened to his eyebrows? Did he lose them in a rookie hazing incident?
ReplyDeleteHa, rookie hazing. Man, that would be fantastic. Maybe I'll send this card out to him to get signed asking him about the eyebrows. I mean, what do I care if I offend a Cubbie? ;)
ReplyDeleteHey, Nick J. here. Thanks for adding my blog, I did the same for you! I just checked my extra Goudey for the Youk but don't have it. I'm going to check and see what else you need!
