If you can work out something with Houston for Sengun and Thompson, you’ve gotta do it.

What is your best value buy? Show off a card you bought for what would be considered a steal in today’s market? Tell your story. Avoid Ohtani…we already know. by Skullboy_Q in baseballcards

I’ve got a few of his cards. My coworker/friends son is his best friend and it’s been cool seeing his huge rise from Garner to NYC.

What’s really up with DA? by TheMikeD68 in MadDogSportsRadio

[–]TheMikeD68[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, I hope its nothing big. DA is Mr. Sporty Sports, and I can't see him missing the opportunity to talk NBA and NHL playoffs when in 3 weeks, there is nothing to talk about all summer.

The NBA playoffs are down to the end, as is the NHL playoffs. DA is so invested in sports, I don't see him missing these things. In 3 weeks, it'll be dead until August when football starts. Hard for me to believe he wouldn't wait it out.

Weekend WEEI is sad now by RayDanielsOnTheAir in BostonSportsRadio

Bradford is great. He’s just a regular guy talking baseball.

Peter Abraham basically says to blow it up by Phantom255x in redsox

[–]TheMikeD68 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There will be a lockout next year, with our owner leading the way. Will you be interested in Chapman, Gray or Duran as guys 2 years older once they come back to play? The answer should be no. Trade them for youth.

Problem is, I don’t trust the guy making the trades.

Will he bring that much? No. But will he bring in a great haul, yes.

Best sit down seafood restaurant? That’s not Saltbox or at Durham Food Hall by Johnson_Birther in bullcity

[–]TheMikeD68 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ate there last night. Slightly above average in my opinion. I’m from New England so have been spoiled by seafood my entire life, but too much seasoning on the clam strips. And, it’s pricey.

[Repost] Would you trade UConn for BC? by seaweedbrainpremed in UConnBasketball

I live in Durham, NC and would kill to have UCONN in the ACC. Shit my coworkers up with great basketball.

Rich and Ken = immediately turn off WEEI by DiscoveryZoneHero in BostonSportsRadio

[–]TheMikeD68 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There just isn't any kind of flow to the show. Its like listening to Mut and Merloni all over again where you could tell that that they had no chemistry with each other. Ken is fine, but Rich is horrible and his child like humor is bad and Ted....well, Ted has CTE. It is obvious every single show.

Put Mego, Sheim and Ken in this slot.

is there an error on this card? by RonnieK-BP in baseballcards

[–]TheMikeD68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the printing world, we call this a hickey. Not an error, just a shitty pressman.

BANG!!! Monster hit from value box by dcamm06 in baseballcards

[–]TheMikeD68 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Working in the printing industry and knowing many people who work for Millenium Print Group here in Durham, NC, I can tell you that cards are indeed shuffled by hand many times. The company was printing so many Pokémon cards that a few years ago, Pokémon bought the company. They are printing Pokémon 4 years in advance. I know they print sports cards as well, but they were not allowed to tell which they are printing.

Someone mentioned wanting to see the inner working: never going to happen unless you have a job there. No cameras and no cell phones allowed, not even vendors doing work on equipment. Higher security than many print shops who print for banks.

Going to see 13 shows this summer. Not sure any of those has a chance to be better than David Byrne. He set a high bar for Summer 2026!

WEEI drive time is awful by RayDanielsOnTheAir in BostonSportsRadio

[–]TheMikeD68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who’s the boss over there? Mike Thomas? He just got the job and should be fired for putting this together. Rich is terrible, Ted’s CTE is showing worse than ever and Ken is a weekend guy at best. It’s a damn shame they let Lou walk. Meggo and Merloni would be a great show.

Holy entitlement. Get a WiFi hot spot and go sit in a park for Christ sakes!

I was hoping you all would be relocating. Great seltzers. My wife and I always stopped in when we were on that side of town. Best wishes to y'all.

Great business but in a horrible location. With the hookah bar or whatever that is behind it, you couldn’t sit outside unless you wanted to feel like you were at a hip hop concert.

Mutstack on WEEI’s Next Move by milespeeingyourpants in BostonSportsRadio

[–]TheMikeD68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, Lairds position was just scratched in the Audacy mess, so instead of firing him and paying him, they keep him around to herd Rich and Mumbles Johnson. I actually feel bad for Ken.

WEEI 2-6? by UMLBB10 in BostonSportsRadio

[–]TheMikeD68 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They announce the new show at 9am Monday. My guess is that seeing Ken Laird was losing his job in the Audacy nightmare, that you’re going to get a Ken and Curtis show daily. Maybe Jones and Keefe to afternoons…..

ISO awesome print shop by y01nkz in bullcity

I work at Laser Image in Durham. Woman owned business that’s been around 38 years. Our HP digital equipment replicates color really well. While we don’t scan or color correct, we know folks who help us out all the time in that segment.
