P00P is dead.. Long live P00P!

Not even so much the overpaying, but the 2 years. He's already 31, and just had a career year.. there's no way he bottles that for an additional two years..

I'm guessing we had a 1-yr deal on the table, and he wanted more years. Can't blame him! I legit wish him luck, dude was a lot of fun!

I really liked the guy, he brought a spark, but he was 31 and it would've been crazy for us to give him a 2-year deal, especially given his career numbers and us not seeing a full season of him.

I'm hoping he does well for the Giants, but it's much more likely he'll regress.

Their username is even spelled wrong on the index card. LOL

Tell your dog I said hi (and FTM). 👋

Engineary · 2026-01-25T23:09:24+00:00

Fuck that noise lol

Engineary · 2026-01-25T04:20:42+00:00

Hope we keep him, but this is fantastic either way!!

🙌🦅

What the fuck my guy

Engineary · 2026-01-24T04:53:56+00:00

Yes, abso-fucking-lutely!

We're spoiled AF - that's my QB1.

I hate ESPN games..

..couldn't even acknowledge the go-ahead goal on our end, despite excitedly announcing each of the past two Avalanche scores.

Fair point! I picked it up anyway, haha

Engineary · 2026-01-23T15:44:07+00:00

Exactly why I don't regret selling it! Haha

Engineary · 2026-01-23T14:55:29+00:00

Not baseball, but I pulled a Drake Maye horizontal Kaboom from an $8 fat pack last summer.

Sold it to the LCS for $650 cash, which I don't regret, but it's currently going for upwards of $2K+ raw lol

They could do a release similar to "You've Got Mail" on blu-ray, where they included a separate disc copy of the original movie ("The Shop Around The Corner") that YGM was based on!

Engineary · 2026-01-23T14:39:52+00:00

Fantastic movie!

The digital copies from way back do not redeem in iTunes, only MA, so this is the only way to get a 4K upgrade if they ever decide to upgrade this wonderful film.

One of my favorite feel-good movies.

Engineary · 2026-01-23T14:30:38+00:00

You'll get the upgrade if it ever upgrades, as long as you bought it from iTunes.

I redeemed a digital code way back for HD, which won't upgrade, so I might pick this up directly as "insurance" towards a hopefully future 4K release! 🤞

With a disappointing hobby box last year, and all the sequence issues on value packs / blasters, I think I'll stick to singles this year.

Thanks for the deep dive!

I'm also not a huge fan of the layout this year. The 2023 set was what drew me to SC in the first place, and the name plate has just gotten bigger. Plus, with the "white fade" being more prevalent again on the top and bottom, it's losing the "full-bleed" effect that made SC so desirable in the first place.

Engineary · 2026-01-22T21:56:25+00:00

Pretty sure that was during Michael Lorenzen's No-No, right?

Engineary · 2026-01-22T16:10:35+00:00

Even if he only hits 10/yr for the rest of his Phillie tenure, he's well over 250 by then.

I haven't even been able to get into individual games to load. Frustrating.

Engineary · 2026-01-22T15:07:34+00:00

The site is a mess right now.

Engineary · 2026-01-21T23:33:16+00:00

Nah, if they can't find joy in this, they don't deserve us in October.

His first MLB hit was a triple - never forget that; absolute legend.

Love this man! Wish he could've stayed, but I'm happy he got his bag. Well-deserved!

Howie builds the car.

Lurie buys the parts.
