whats the sence in going to games anymore.i can buy the single signed cards
i need as there seems to be a lot of sellers out there.no wasted gas, no attitudes, no heat,no rain. win-win as i see it.
i agree you help me more than i help you. you want them back you can have them.

you have been graphing long enough to know what to expect.
if you are still upset then walk away.

Why would I go out of the way to help you on your sets and then ask for them back??? That does not make sense. Never said I wanted them back, never said I was upset.

You are the one in a mood tonight looking to start trouble.

I was merely making a comment and advising people who would see Akron in the future (much like other people on this board have done) yet for some odd reason you chose to pick on me for sharing my observations.
Nothing like lashing out at those who help us when we are in a mood ...

By the way, for all those interested, despite the attitudes I still intend to see Akron again to try and get some more cards done both for myself and for others that I am helping.

:-) Hope all is well

Minorleaguetraveller

It was my observation.
Some people like Costanza were rude for a while then came back out.
Josh Rodriguez would not talk to you
JD Martin was nice
Chuck Lofgren was ok
Some had attitudes.
What can I Say That was my impression.
I was there, I experienced it, that's my impression.
But just for you I will be sure to specify who was cheery and who was not.
so that it does not seem to be bitching.

Minorleaguetraveller

Obviously, cause Mods ban everyone who rambles to pick fights.

Heck There are people posting to posts that died like 3 months ago and no one seems to care or notice.

PS You never answered the question about your avatar.

PS PS This is alot more efficient than returning a phone call.

Also, for anyone getting wes hodges, he may or may not talk to you depending on his mood.
He will SS for you if you ask him, and he will personalize, but he personalized it under the ss for this one guy so that it did not ruin the ball or sig.
Very cool move.
This is another piece of information, not to be confused with bitching.

I am a human, I made a mistake with getting tickets to the pigs.
i have not gone to any regular season games and i will never go back to
that stadium.

Anyway back to graphing.
Went with Ozzyman to Binghamton and Scranton for some fun.
Got to Binghamton at 8:30 am only to hear the BMets would not show till 11 for the game cause they want to let the players "rest"
Also they kicked us out at 10am from the stadium instead of 11am.
said they had to "clean it early today"
So we waited for the mets and then headed to Scranton.
Got
Eric Brown 3/3
Shawn Bowman 4/4
Blow off from the " I am late" (even though he was the first 1 there) Fernando Martinez.

Then headed down.
Just as we get to Scranton, we luck out and get Phil Hughes.
Phil Hughes 6/6
and run to the other side and get Shannon Stewart as he got dropped off.
1/1 SSMLB. he then left the club (rumor there was that he was released) and I got him 1/1 on a card.

After waiting for the rain delay to pass, they finally cancelled the game.
On the way out got:
Jesse Litsch 4/4
Curtis Thigpen 3/3
Brian Wolfe 6/6
Robinzon Diaz 4/4
Ricky Romero 1/1
Brian Jerolman 2/2
Brett Cecil 0/4 (Blew by EVERYONE, was in a bad mood)
Headed to Scranton and got:
JB Cox 2/2
Eric Duncan 2/2
Steven Jackson blew us off (lest 1 kid)
Not bad day

Pregame did well
Matt Rizzotti 4/4

Taylor Holiday 5/5

Then they booted us out and let us in at gate:
Carmen Angellini 2/4
Betences was starting.
Post game:
Betences 2/5 (he pitched and then had family from the bronx there so he was not signing much, the 5 I had were all diff from sets I was doing, so guess I have 2 sets done)

Austin Romine 2/2


Overall for this game not bad.
