Tues IP--Walk-off Win Edition

[CW13]

Took my nephew to last night's Ranger game courtesy of Arron(elmesero) who was nice enough to give me his season tickets to use. What a fantastic game..Pineda(that guy is a beast, 6'7'' 260) vs Ogando looked like a pitchers' duel on paper and while Pineda threw well, Ogando was awful. Luckily the bullpen was lights out and after Pineda departed, Texas made a great comeback and Josh had a single in the 9th for the win. I love going to games during the week b/c a) i live pretty close so it only takes 10-12 mins to get to ballpark and b) there is usually not as many people and we can sit wherever we want. Last night we were about 5 rows behind Mariner dugout...

Here is the haul:

From the tunnel
Matt Harrison SS OMLB

Colby Lewis OMLB with "1st World Series Win" and 1 custom

Seattle coaches
Carl Willis 1 card
Robby Thompson 4 cards(they came thru the tunnel as well, glad i brought cards)
Neither team took BP since it's hotter than Hades here right now; but we still got some autos...
Brandon League 2 cards
Blake Beavan 2 cards(lives in Ft Worth, super nice, gave my nephew a baseball after his sideline session)

Jack Wilson 1 card
Trayvon Robinson 1 card(I heard him tell a guy he can't sign Bowman cards)
Jason Phillips 4 cards
Jaime Navarro 1 card
Josh Lueke 2 cards

Also got a Seattle team card signed by Furbush, Gray, Wilhelmsen and Cortes. Could have gotten Ackley, Wright and Seager but did not have anything for them and had already gotten Ackley on a ball..

About 7 Rangers took bunting practice...only 1 signed afterward but it was a good one!!
Elvis Andrus SP OMLB 1 card

Aaron Laffey 1 card

Lastly, I did not see Ichiro until 7:01 at which time he finally entered the dugout(game started at 7:05)..He must have been sitting in the AC til the last minute...
I was; however, one of only 5 that got the other big one from Seattle...and this is for Arron..thanks again for giving us those tickets, we had a great time!!!
Felix Hernandez 1 card(for elmesero)


Great time at the ballpark!!!!

thanks for reading

I like that one you got pictured above the Felix, I just I knew if he would sign his mail or not.

i got him TTM but it was when he was with Cle(on that same card) and then, he was a strict one per..Not sure i have seen any returns since he moved to Seattle...

congrats on the successes....true too that Trayvon does not sign Bowman cards per his agent...Was the same when he played for the 66ers here in the Inland Empire....yet another great trade by the Dodgers

I have the same card signed by Sowers. I too wonder if he would sign TTM.
knowing that he is now with Seattle, I guess it is worth a shot.
If you send it off, let me know how it goes
