You guys complain too much

Give me Ty Cobb back or give me death

Here’s a link to the games box score for anyone interested in that sort of thing.

Fun fact: this was the first game of a doubleheader and Phillies C Smokey Burgess caught all 26 innings.

Blackmon feels like he should be based on how he’s hitting the ball

Darn, stuck at work

@eatyum_psn said in Why the focus on certain cards? Like....:

I'm very much ok with getting any Schoop card.

Same here. Feels like I end up with Kyle Seager or Schoop in every March to October I play.

No expiration date, right?

Trying to take a few day break until the 6th inning starts and finish building LEGO sets

30 cards worth 1000 stubs each and a 10 pack at the end isn’t really the worst thing in the world. Last year I grinded the USA map for just a 10 pack.

Either way I feel like Run it back is coming soon

Piazza as a Met
99 Seaver

Bogaerts

The big collection should not be easy, it should be a grind. Griffey (like Trout last year) is not a participation award. It has taken most of us 8 months to be in the position to get Griffey. That is a lot of games played, a lot of flipping, a lot of exchanges. Honestly, I would be angry if I played the game 8 months and someone who just picked up the game on Friday to be in the same place I was from a team and stub perspective. Griffey can still be completed it will just take some time and even for a lot of people that just got the game it will be a lot shorter than 8 months. The way they have TA's set up, you can basically double dip with your stats and games played.

Difference between being a grind and being impossible. I’ve been playing since release date and the early server issues screwed me out of the Henderson veteran card from one of the conquests. I contacted customer support and they can’t be bothered to give me a card I earned that everyone else has access to.

“Throw me a frickin bone”

That would be the Mystery Map and it is repeatable, Did you try to repeat the map to see if it would give you the Card, Did you look to see if it is greyed out when you look at what you need to complete for that map?

I tried but not in awhile. I guess I could always take a real quick run at it after work

Reggie Jackson moment from yesterday is killing me. Can’t get the timing right on his heat and Dodgers OFs are playing gold glove D out there. FML.

@saintskde_xbl said in Tampa bay to Montreal?:

I just read a article that the Tampa bay rays is thinking about moving to Montreal. Tampa bay is a good sport city with the Buccs and the Lightnings are champions and the rays is the best team in the east. Is the reason why is the same situation with the A’s, that the city won’t build them a new stadium?

They are not a good sports city. They have good teams currently, but Florida period is a bad place for supporting their teams. But Montreal might not be much better.

Yeah, Montreal doesn’t seem like a good option either, especially looking at the Expos attendance figures, even before the strike of ‘94 killed interest.

Then again, I really don’t think there are any good relocation/ expansion targets on the board.

What about Vegas?

I figure Oakland will go there if they can’t make it work soon in Oakland, but it’s still only a spot for one team. I’ve seen Portland, OR and Nashville mentioned as well but I’m not sure they even are good options.

@mrad2010_xbl said in Tyler O'Neil is you POTM lighting card:

It says collect 26 but there’s only 21 choices?

Topps now that comes out this Thursday/ Friday

@pennstatefencer said in Why are the rookie cards in Daily Moments program not sellable?:

Pro Tip: Pick the highest rarity card you can each time (silver, gold) and use it for exchanges if there is another team affinity. I have a bunch of gold Ozzie Smiths I plan on using if there is a TA5. I forgot to use them last time though because I had overprepared with 74 overall bronze cards.

Same here, except I’ve tried to spread them amongst the divisions. I’ve still got a bunch of the Eddie Murray Dodgers cards waiting to exchange

Acuna is the man.

I love running a speed team out there. Currently have Joe Carter 30/30 as my 1B ( use guys at their primary position for this) but he could get in the mix

@rhino_six_psn said in So with all of the big markets getting 'elseworlds' cards...:

Well, 99 Larry Walker has been in for a while, but he was a little disappointing against lefties. And I think a 97 Valenzuela got added recently

How do the braves have no good pitching cards

You don’t love Warren Spahn and his 8 minute long windup?
