Break

Hey guys, Drew back here. I need to catch a break here, I know that I'll be behind after I get back, it'll only be a few days though and I am far too upset/stressed to post anything. I got cut for the second year in a row for my school team, yet again, another year of trying to figure out what I did wrong. I don't know any way I couldn't have made it with the tryout I had, and I'd love to hear a reason from the coach as to why I got cut. Everyone there, and everyone that made it thought I should have made the team and was one of the best out there. I hustled, I ran hard and fast compared to others, I fielded well, and I hit well. I even helped the coach move some equipment and tried to talk to him and get familiar with him, since I thought I'd make it. But for some reason, I wasn't picked... again. I'm trying to control what I'm typing, I would write more but I just can't make my thoughts into words. I'm really mad that he cut me... again, and I think to be honest he has something against me. Don't know what, but that's the only reasonable thing I can think of why I didn't make it. He gave us the Michael Jordan speech on how he got cut all 4 years in high school basketball, but that doesn't help at all.

I know that many of you guys had your moments when you were kids, or maybe a few years ago, I'm pretty sure I'm the youngest card blogger out there, so please try to help me out. I'm really hurting from this, and I would really appreciate some feedback.

Mail from Night Owl and BigD!

Hey guys, Drew back here, after getting back from Lake Minerva earlier today and hanging out with Mike for the next few hours. We opened our box of 2009 Donruss Threads football, and you should expect a review coming soon to drewscards. It was actually a nice box-to say the least. So, my family and I had a great time up there, spending time gorging down Chips Ahoy (that was me :p), and kayaking on the lake. So, anyway I'm back, but still can't post at an extreme rate anymore, because

THE TRIP TO 8TH GRADE BEGINS TOMORROW!!!

So, starting with my mail over the trip, which I received right before I left, and in this guys case, the cards were on his way back to him as I headed more towards his headquarters. I took them up to the mountains with me, so I could stare at them the whole time. The first one is coming from the Night Owl!

20 2009 Allen & Ginter base cards to knock off the set! My favorite is the Pettitte obviously but I also enjoy the Electron, Beethoven, Alamo, and I liked the Jimmy Rollins card too. Thanks!

And wait, there's more! 9 mixed Yankees cards that I need! Here is a small list of these:

-2008 Upper Deck Timeline Alex Rodriguez
-2008 Tristar Francisco Pena

I needed all of those! I got my 1st cards from the Throwback set, which has a cool feel to it, Tristar, which is nice as well, and the Christmas Tree is awesome looking although I never have seen them before! Thanks for the trade!

The second trade I recently received was courtesy of BigD from Hey, That's Mine! Here are the photos of stuff he gave me:

11 Cards for my Allen & Ginter set: I love the Custer card, and the Konerko and Reyes cards are very nice again! Thanks for those!

That's not all! I got the National Pride (number 14 in fact) of K-Rod, very nice! Pretty far into this set too, will get it done!

2 2008 Goudey cards I needed, one of Randy Johnson and Manny Ramirez!

And another loot of Yankees, here's another list!

-2005 Skybox Hideki Matsui
-2000 Upper Deck Yankee Legends Graig Nettles
-2002 Topps AL Run Leaders Soriano/A-Rod/Jeter

Wow, I needed a ton of those! I noticed in the Topps AL Run Leaders card that the Top 5 on the list on the back had this: Soriano/A-Rod/Jeter/Giambi/Damon in the Top 5 that year, all Yankees! I love the Ruffing and Yogi cards and the Jeter is great! Thanks for the trade!

Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for the Threads review! Off to 8th Grade!

Break

Not the break you're hoping for. Until the 4th Quarter Spectacular, I shouldn't be posting much. Every single day until the end of the school year it seems like I have either a test or a quiz or a presentation. So, while I'm on vacation from blogging, I'm encouraging you guys to still again if you haven't already to vote on the poll and subscribe. Right now 09 Allen & Ginter is dominating the other boxes so I'm assuming I'll be ordering one, but again, I'm not basing the whole poll on what I will get. I make the final call and you guys will just have to help me with this. Thanks for everything and see ya for a little while.

don't ask me why i chose this picture, i have no idea
