I have a morals clause in my collecting. Since I only collect players, I’ve tried to be selective about which guys I focus my attention and money chasing. The reasoning I use may only make sense to me sometimes, but in general I’m looking to collect players I can root for. That means I do […] We are slowly moving into our new house. We’re taking things slow. On most days, we’ll move 5-6 boxes worth of stuff, shove it in an unused room and then paint or clean various walls, floors, sinks, counters, shelves, etc. The previous owners were only there for maybe 7 years, max, but holy hell did […] Not for a while at least. I have some packages due to Cards on Cards and Cardboard Junkie, and I’ll be sure to send some stuff off to them, but after that I’m going to go on a self-imposed hiatus. It’s not anything to do with my impending move, either. Well, partly, I guess. Really […] We’re just about a week away from baseball’s opening day. It’s a wonderful time of the year.

Now get back to work! The time to sit on your ass and enjoy doing nothing is over. Grab a broom and help me clean up. No need to wait till spring. I got all kinds of folders […] Why am I so excited about college basketball? A few reasons. 1) My Chicago Bulls aren’t likely to be too fun to watch until Derrick Rose returns from injury. 2) I think the college game is simultaneously infinitely more fun and infinitely more frustrating to watch due to the raw passion and hustle and lack […] Finally, the answer to the question that’s been burning a whole in your unrelenting hearts is here. When you heard the news that Ryan Dempster was traded to the Braves Dodgers Yankees???
