So what happens when... 1) 2 bottom cellar teams face off 2) it's midweek during the last week of the season with school in session 3) you can garner entry 2.5 hrs before game time and watch a full BP with 40 man rosters 4) you go to all 3 games and can recognize a lot of the players vs 1) a... -

Hells Bells in Frisco
I met Arron(elmesero) in Frisco Tuesday. He had done a nice little Round Rock to Corpus Christi to Frisco graphing trip and I got to see him before he headed back to Wichita Falls. First, he gave me some great IPs he had gotten on the trip. Thanks, man, I really appreciate it!! Kaleb Cowart... -

Got Served by the Cubs in Round Rock IP
So my sister told me she was driving to Round Rock(about 2.5 hrs) to go eat with some of her former teaching cohorts. After glancing at the Round Rock schedule, I saw that the Iowa Cubs were playing. So, hey, free ride to the game, bought a $7 ticket and said, let's see what happens. Only did... -
Friday fun day followed by Saturday sun day IP...
Friday I left work and made the 1 hr trek to Frisco to meet Arron(elmesero) and a buddy of his for Frisco vs Corpus AA baseball. I knew I'd do pretty well; but was a little bummed b/c going on Friday most likely meant Joey Gallo(Ranger uber-prospect) wouldnt be there. He played in the Futures... -
A Tale of Two Cities.. Arlington and Houston IP
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity.." Well, most of those ring true except worst of times. It wasn't that bad. I graphed here in Arlington Monday AND Tuesday... -
Huge Trucks and Round Rock IP
So I drove down Friday to Round Rock to help my sister move back up here to the DFW area. She reluctantly agreed to actually attend a game AND even helped me get some autographs. I realized the next day why she helped as I drove a gargantuan Death Machine Uhaul 3.5 hrs down I-35. First are... -

Frisco IP
In and out in Frisco. YOu can read Drew's blog for specifics. Ya, I decided to hit Frisco, it was a different venue, I didn't feel too badly going for Pudge this time. He was much nicer than last time and it was just Drew and me when he exited... Got some cards for dbarbos too... Rougned Odor... -
Yu gotta love some IP graphing days..
Once again, quantity wasn't amazing; but I'll take the quality. It was an Autograph Wednesday, which means at 5:30, four Rangers sign for 45 mins at different areas of the park.We get in at 4:30 so you usually have to decide what do you want to do. Graph downstairs or go wait for an hour for a... -
