The Rough Reality of Albert Pujols

He's a free agent... Albert Pujols...perhaps even more of an anticipated star of offseason free-agency than LeBron James and all those shennanigans with "The Decision" two summers ago. Does he stay or does he go? His heart likely says stay, but the money might be elsewhere. This chart explains it all in my opinion.

Stay

Respect
Legacy
Pride
Commitment


Go
Money
Dinero
Cashola

In Honor of Halloween: The Tricks of 2011 Topps Cards (muahahahahaha)

Okay, in terms of tricks, I don't know where to begin...

Triple Threads Fictional Historical "Relics"


Topps went all "A n' G" on us with this one. They threw us a curveball...yet we knew it was inevitable from the time they started to include hairs of the late racing horse Barbarro inside a predominately baseball product (Ginter)...

Topps Dominic Brown False Diamond

Topps really screwed the pooch with their own gimmick this time...

2011 Topps Lineage

...the entire set was essentially a dropped design for the original 2011 Topps flagship. I mean, some of the inserts are pretty cool, like the revival of the Rookie Stars concept and such, but mainly they butchered the line. We all expected a glorious set that was getting back to the hearts of collectors doing what they do best...collect...and all we got was a mutated piece of crap that vaguely looks like Topps Total. If you really want to make us happy, here's a suggestion...

BRING BACK F*ING TOPPS TOTAL!!!
