Regaining my focus

I'm slowly getting my act together blog-wise.  Some of the personal stuff is sorting itself out even though there are still health concerns aplenty.  The trading fire has been rekindled and the writing has been therapeutic.

I guess you could say I'm regaining my focus. 

Since I'm running a contest (what, you didn't see this mornings post?), I thought I would show off some winnings.  Steve over at White Sox Cards sent me three team set bags stuffed with some cardboard goodness.  The package was a result of this contest.  When I won the contest, I didn't know A.J. Pierzynski would be a future Ranger.  It's been suggested that I adopt A.J. as my new favorite Ranger.  He's got to prove himself worthy of that high honor. 

I didn't buy any of these Heritage Minor League cards so it's always fun to get one of the Rangers farmhands.  Take a look at Deglan's expression.  That's intense. 

Ouch.  Double edged sword.  Nice low numbered insert, most hated former Ranger ever.  I'll take it. 

I was disappointed that Chris Davis didn't work out here, but unlike Josh Hamilton, I'm wishing him success.  That's a nice Walmart black parallel.  He really pops off the black background. 

The good--a nice 2012 Bowman gold parallel of Michael Young. The bad--a future filled with trades reminding me Michael Young no longer plays for the Rangers. 

Don't call it a comeback!  Like Elvis here, I'm on a hot streak with three days in row of 2 posts/day.  I don't know that I'd get too used to it.  We'll just enjoy it while it lasts. 

Steve, thanks for the great prize package.
