Frenchy, Texas Ranger

I have so many posts I need to write, yet I am wasting my precious free time MSPainting masterpieces like this instead.

In other news, Jeff Francoeur got traded to Texas. I am somewhat happy about this because I still have a soft spot for the knucklehead, and I'm going to the game tomorrow, and I would have booed his ass lustily. Most everyone out there giving me a Look of Disapproval right now would likely also boo a Met if given half a chance so cut it out. The drawback to seeing Frenchy out of that nasty uniform is that there is a chance Atlanta could meet up with the Rangers in the World Series and Jeff Francoeur only lives up to his vast potential when playing the Braves. So there's one more thing to keep me up at nights. Good luck Frenchy, go earn yourself a contract next year out in Texas.

As long as I had MSPaint fired up, I decided to cobble this together in honor of Luis Castillo's defensive prowess this evening. (yes, I know it sucks - that's five whole minutes of work there)

Thanks for the huge inning Luis, we appreciate it!

Catching up on trades - minis from Duane

Duane has been working on his 2008 A&G set after catching the bug last year and we've mad a couple of mini card swaps. He's expanded to chasing Goudey, Ultimate and more, here's his want list if anyone wants to do some deals with the Ohioan. Here's some choice cuts from teh last package I received.

2006 Allen & Ginter Kris Benson. My want list for that set is slowly but surely getting chipped away.

Shiny Frenchy! My first Ultimate Collection base card is of future Kansas City Royal Jeff Francoeur. This design looks like 2001 or 2002 Upper Deck off brand insert card to me, but what do I know.

Aaaaaaand a whole slopload of A&G minis to put in my mixed-set mini binder. I should probably post a want list one of these days, I have a have a ton of minis I wouldn't mind parting with. Thanks Duane!
