A Hair Off Square   custom cards

This is the Zach Greinke card I posted yesterday except I fixed one small mistake on my part. I put the foul pole on the wrong side. I keep in mind the foul pole of these cards when I am cropping the photos and I planned on having it on the right but happened to put it on the left. I like the card much better this way. It is a nice sample from the set.

No rhyme or reason here, just more cards to add to the set. I wanted to do a Greinke pretty bad for some reason, maybe I secretly still like the guy. I think this may be the first mention of him since the trade which oddly coincided with the creation of this website. Maybe the Greinke card is because I am thinking about the trade a lot right now. I think I am ready to jump on the Lorenzo Cain  needs to be called up bandwagon, we’ll see after tonight’s game in the Bronx, it will have to be a chatty post.

Troy Tulowitzki is a monster, he is really good, it is hard not to like a guy like him. Miguel Tejada is random, I was just shocked to see the Giants were playing him primarily at shortstop still. At this point in his career I would think he is definitely third base material, if not DH.

I wanted to do something related to Mother’s Day and didn’t quite know what to do. I thought about trying something about players’ moms but quickly realized that would be way too hard and not make a lot of sense. Then I thought about what baseball does, the pink bat. I could just do a couple of my Just Fair 2011 cards and use pictures of pink bats.

This would actually involve breaking a personal rule of mine. I like to use current pictures. This was something I envisioned when I started my Just Fair set. I wanted to use almost all pictures from the current year and mostly pictures from within a couple days of when I post the cards. I wouldn’t be able to get pink bat pictures from 2011 unless I wait until late in the day I think, so I decided to use pictures from the last couple years. I just needed to be sure all the players were still on the same team.

So here is my tribute to Mother’s Day. Pink Bats to benefit breast cancer which has become a tradition now. I like the idea and the fact that it is special to Mother’s Day and I really hope it continues.

Max Scherzer shut out the Yankees tonight. Probably a career highlight for him, rightfully so. The Yankees payroll is equal to about 7 or 8 other teams I think, maybe more. This means they should be good. I hate the Yankees and I wish them nothing but the worst of luck but with the amount of talent they have they should be winning games.

Scherzer absolutely knocked them on their ass tonight which delighted me. Scherzer is even out of Mizzou and this game will do more for me being a fan of his than that. Anyone who makes that bunch of overpaid losers look foolish is alright by me.

Congrats Max, here is Just Fair 2011’s tribute to you.

Former Royals today; One I miss, one I don’t and seeing one in another uniform makes me do the happy dance. I’ll simplify this, I will always like David Dejesus and I will call it right now, he will be a Royal again someday. I would love to see him as a veteran fourth outfielder in about five years as the Royals are making a playoff run. A man can dream can’t he?

I don’t miss Rick Ankiel. He was pretty much a dick when he was in KC. He was an ok player but he had less than 100 at bats as a Royal and spent more time on the DL than in the outfield. Now to the good one: Yuniesky Betancourt is a Milwaukee Brewer. I couldn’t stand seeing him come up in a key situation with a man on third and less than two outs and swing at a bunch of junk above his eyeballs. Alcides Escobar can hit .222 all year if he plays defense like he has; I don’t miss Yuni’s bat at all.
