Okay I am back from my Ubaldo pout-fest 2011 with my next set of packs for Gint a Cuffs
Points through pack #14 - 122
RELEASE MCCRACKEN
Sure the joke is old now, but after tomorrow you won't have to see it again for another year.
Pack 15:
256 Hunter Pence (+2 pts FP list)
162 Mat Latos (0 pts)
18 Daniel Hudson (0 pts)
167 Adam LaRoche (0 pts)
193 Jorge De La Rosa (+1 Rockies)
249 Carlos Ruiz Crack the Code (+3 pts CTC card)
64 Ricky Romero Mini A&G Back (+2 pts AG back)
hh36 Gordon Beckham Hometown Heroes (+1 pt HH insert)
Pack total: 9 pts
Running total - 131 pts
Nice JDLR card in this pack. The Colorado season went to hell as soon as he went down with his TJ injury. The Crack the Code makes its first appearance in my box here as well. Good luck to all of you attempting this one, but I don’t understand the point.
Pack 16:
294 Jacoby Ellsbury (0 pts)
168 Carlos Marmol (0 pts)
266 Chris Coghlan (0 pts)
280 Adam Wainwright (0 pts)
347 Josh Thole Crack the Code / SP (+3 pts CTC card, +2 SP) +5 total
aom1 Prokayotes Ascent of Man (+1 pt AOM insert)
330 CC Sabathia Mini SP (+3 pts SP mini, -1 DAMN Yankee) +2 pts total
hh97 Brandon Morrow Hometown Heroes (+1 pt HH insert)
Pack total: 9 pts
Running total - 140 pts
Another pretty good pack here with a second Crack the Code and a short print at that. I wonder if I should have sold the image on eBay since it is a shortie. The Yankees make an appearance in this pack to bring my running total up to Rockies 8 Yankees 4. this might be the first box ever with more Rox than Yanks. My second AOM card is the first and my first was the last. I never consider myself close to completing a set until I have both the first and last cards. Here I got those two first, so I got that going for me.
Pack 17:
45 Annika Sorenstam (0 pts)
196 Jered Weaver (0 pts)
111 Pablo Sandoval (0 pts)
113 Miguel Montero (0 pts)
265 Buster Posey (0 pts)
156 Marlon Byrd (0 pts)
99 Placido Polanco Mini A&G Back (+2 pts AG back)
hh74 Jayson Werth Hometown Heroes (+1 pt HH insert)
Pack total: 3 pts
Running total - 143 pts
Run of the mill, at best, pack here. The only pack worse than this one points-wise was the earlier one with 2 Bearded Douches, aka Brian Wilson. This one has 2 Giants as well, Fat Panda and Ray Fosse Jr. I think Giants are officially the worst team for Gint-a-Cuffs purposes. I know they are the worst for my purposes.
Pack 18:
220 Prince Fielder (0 pts)
297 Travis Hafner (0 pts)
268 Dallas Braden (0 pts)
AGA-CWO Chuck Woolery Framed Autograph (+10 framed autograph)
wmf2 The Poe Toaster World’s Most Mysterious Figures (+3 WMF mini)
hh58 Jimmy Rollins Hometown Heroes (+1 pt HH insert)
Pack total: 14 pts
Running total - 157 pts
Okay as contrary as I have been about the Ginter set, even I can’t contain a smile at getting a Chuck Woolery auto. I remember him more from the game show Scrabble (my favorite as a kid), but most remember him as the Love Connection guru. I wonder if this card entitles the card producers to pay for a second box if I agree.
Pack 19:
234 Chrissie Wellington (0 pts)
40 John McEnroe (-1 pt being a loudmouth jerk)
291 Grady Sizemore (0 pts)
53 Chipper Jones (0 pts)
300 Ryan Braun (0 pts)
303 Jaime Garcia SP (+2 pts SP)
29 Johnny Cueto Mini (0 pts)
hh53 Justin Verlander Hometown Heroes (+1 pt HH insert)
Pack total: 2 pts
Running total - 159 pts
