One of those days....

you ever have one of those days? You know you have.... I'm having one right now. As some of may have noticed, I haven't been around for awhile, other than to leave a snarky comment or two on some of your wonderful blogs.
But I knew that going in, so I scheduled a half dozen posts for blogger to publish throughout the week. I just now noticed that not only did they NOT publish, but blogger has decided to send them god knows where and I can't find a trace of them.
Check your inboxes people. You may have some unpublished work of mine. No hanging on to them until after my passing either. They ain't gonna be worth squat.

So....... I'll leave you with this. It made me laugh, I hope you find it funny too.

Amazing Stat of the Day

Combining Card of the Day, and WTF of the Day, I bring you Amazing Stat of the Day.

Behold, a 1989 Topps Traded Darrell Evans.
You all know Darrell was quite the hitter in his day, but did you know he also pitched?

Click to expand of course.... what do you think his most amazing pitching stat was? 1313 career wins? 1363 saves? 8697 IP?

See? If you read the backs of these things, you learn something new every day. Darrell Evans, Pitcher Extraordinaire.

Upper Deck oops...

so you're a young up and coming writer for the brand new Upper Deck Blog. It seems all the kids are doing it... and you publish an article on some baseball predictions with liberal sprinklings of fancy Upper Deck baseball cards scattered throughout the article for an added spice, not to mention free advertising.

Good idea, right?

It was, until you scroll down far enough to see the Matt Holliday Sweet Spot auto.

oops. Maybe should've tried to find one not so faded...
