Tell me what to get...

I've had a devastating experience this week. I won't go into detail because this isn't the place for that. BUT, I need something to pick me up. So I'm running to Target tonight. So, now you know what the selection probably will be. It will have to be baseball. So, what should I get? What's hot right now? Thanks!

I wandered around Wal-Mart the other day and didn't buy a thing, they had mostly FB and Basketball and nothing looked good. I hope you find something to pick you up and pull a sweet 1/1 of whatever.

I hope all is well. Target has 2008 Topps factory sets that contain a Mickey Mantle GU card on top. So at worst you get the Mick! No matter what you decide on good luck!

Find a sitter for the kids and go do something romantic with your wife. If you need to go to Target, go get something "interesting" for you and the wife to play with.

Seriously.

Fly to Vegas and get a hooker and some booze. You'll feel much better after the weekend.

2 bottles of cherry hill pick you right up, make you want to open dinosaurs attacks and have fun doing it

The wife isn't around tonight. I don't really drink anymore, although to each his own on that one. I thought about the 08 factory set with the mick. Can't really go wrong there. But I already have an 07 A&G Mick bat and I'm afraid having another one might take away the luster of the other one. I know I can get the set without it though.
Still not sure.

Well come hang out with us. About to leave to go to a b-day party in my honor. Taking the wife and Chuck Knoblauch

no - you will feel better during the weekend and worse after you get back.

Remember a frown is just a smile upside down.

More seriously, I hope things work out for you, I think a lot of Americans feel a little (read that a lot) down right now. We will all bounce back I am sure, it's what we are good at.

I agree with the factory sets, seems like most brands are available now. Personally I would grab one of the football, but hard to go wrong with the baseball and get a GU Mantle card.

Guru · November 21, 2008 10:12AM

Went with the 08 Topps set and the Mantle card. It's now in a hard case on the shelf. Will be putting the cards in the binder tonight. Also grabbed some packs. Got a Ryan Howard GU. Pretty cool.

Yes it is. Please contact Randy for reservations

Thanks

Get one of the Topps factory sets with the '54 style Babe Ruth card. I've already got a 2008 set, but that's a great looking Ruth card. :-)

rube26105 · November 21, 2008 10:44AM

dinosaurs attack were cool, i got about 20 boxes of michael jackson card from big lots of 1 penny a pack years ago, guess thats what they are still worth

Ironmanfan · November 21, 2008 11:47AM

get tickets to a Pacers game

zep33 · November 21, 2008 12:01PM

make sure you scan that Mick for us

julen23 · November 21, 2008 12:09PM

RIP sir

We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, laughers, screamers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls. Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get into locked a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff pretty soon.

is that from Fear In Loathing in Las Vegas? loved that movie

F1ferrari · November 22, 2008 7:34AM

Actually, that's from the book. The movie was great, but there is not a better read out there than a Hunter S Thompson book. Hey Rube was the collection of all the columns he wrote for ESPN Magazine, and it's a great read for a sports fan. There's a story about HST being fleeced by Ed Bradley that is BEYOND hilarious.

Tell me what to get...
