Hey Everyone.
Question...
Is anyone planning on coming to Illinois or the National?
My Mom is having surgery onthat Friday, but I plan on going at least one day.
Let me know if any of you are making the trip and maybe we can make it a day.
Other than that, Go Sox and have a great weekend.
Tony
I wish I could make it to the National! I missed it last year when it was in Cleveland and I kick myself for it!
Packages out today for Matt, Travis and Tony C. Enjoy whenever they get there

MAILCALL
Tow packages from Tony C. in one week! This mailer was to help the group with some cards for another Spectrum set and I am happy to say he sent the ones to complete another set and get me pretty close on the second! The cards here will go for the group and will be listed tonight to go with the 2008 Topps Series I Set I have ready to go. Tony also slipped in two bags of Indians including a Grady Sizemore 2008 M&M that I needed and a CoCo Crisp GU from 2008 Spectrum and yes, he is in Indians Uniform! They are getting rid of anything they can! Thanks Tony!!
Bump to get us closer to the top.
Sox Win...barely.
Both Chicago teams guranteed first place at the All Star Break.
Not sure if that has ever happened before!!
This city would be nuts if both made the playoffs, let alone the WS.
OK, a guy can dream can't he.
Heading to a show tomorrow.
As always, will keep my eye open for you guys.
Later.
Tony
Bump from page 4, come on guys, what is going on? There were times when our thread would never get off the first page!
Well, my son's team that I coach is in the district finals. We played a 3 1/2 hour, 10 inning game today and came out on top in the bottom of the 10th. The final was 14-13. Our hitting showed up, but our pitching and defense stayed home! The bottom line is we are in the finals and we have not lost yet, so even if we lose on Monday, we get to play on Tuesday. The other remaining teams, just 3 of them, played later today and tomorrow, for the right to play us in the finals.
My son was unbelievable today. He had 4 two out RBI's, 3 hits and scored the game winning run tonight. I am so damn proud of him. My wife said I jumped at least 2 ft in the air after that winning run crossed the plate today. Keep in mind I am 6' 3", 250 lbs! There is nothing better than seeing your child mature into a great player. The great thing is we worked so hard to get to this point. Once we win districts (barring a major collapse), we move onto States. If we win that, I am in major league trouble. We have a vacation planned for the 1st week in August. Should we keep winning, that would be the regionals playoffs! Divorce, or playoffs? That is what it will come down to!
bump from page three...enjoying vacation time!
Back from a long day of work, trying this new thing where I don't get mad at things I can't control... Did ok today but I just get fired up so quick, oh well! Hope everyone is having a good day and enjoying the weekend. Its nice here in NE Ohio Mid 80's with on and off showers that actually cool you off. Can't wait for fall, favorite time of the year and this Indians season needs to be over. Despite spanking around the Rays this is not our year or month.

Hello Everyone,
Wanted to stop in and at least say hi!
Nyla and I have been trying to figure what we want to, or need to do.
Been really busy cleaning out stuff in our house. It looks more and more as though we will need to sell and find an apartment.
My day was brightened up though .......
I had a Mailday!!!
want to send out a huge
Thank You to Matt for the "care" package.
Thanks very much Matt. Boy, I really miss getting the mail.
I hope all is well with everyone, I'll be shipping our one of those big "Flat rate" boxes to Mike

Every one take care.

P.S. I know everyone one keeps saying it but MAN, it is really slow lately NO ONE is around much anymore.
I lurk a lot.. keep up on the thread but I guess just have nothing to say right now:doubt:
Playing the waiting game to see what offer Richie decides on since he's had interest from teams it's really up to him where to play.. just don't accept the $!%*&#$ Yankees offer!! :lol:
