California, New York, Illinois....
and now SOUTH CAROLINA!
What do those states have in common? It is where THIS
card has traveled thus far!
WickedLiquids from Trade Bait Got the awesome idea to send a baseball card from blogger to blogger and have them sign it. I got the card from TheBrooklynMet. You can read about it by clicking the Trade Bait link.
I have now signed it and am ready to send if off yet again. Maybe YOU will get the card one day soon.

Dammit! Dammit! GOSH DARN IT!
Injury prone third baseman is injured AGAIN!
3 games in and he is injured! Jeez Chipper >__<.
I can't believe I missed it. I kept flipping between it and Bones. I should have known something was up as McCann kept coming up when Chipper should have been and I simply thought I had just missed him.
He had BETTER BE BACK SOON!
GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
We need him healthy. I don't remember last time he's played nearly a full season.
Yes, I need to calm down
Yes, I am overreacting.

The Brave me and the other me.
It is odd. Most of the time I have a hard time ordering for myself in a resturaunt. I fear phones, answering and picking them up scares me. There mere thought of talking to someone I don't know, feels me with a near panic. Most of the time in a group setting I stay nearly mute. I don't like bringing attention to myself. I prefer to stay in the shadows, way in the shadows.
I have a social anxiety and anxiety in general. Most of the time I am a basket case. I find it hard to function in the real world, likely why I'm jobless and can't drive (You do not want me behind the wheel of a car)
Yet that all changes the moment I go to a Braves Game.
Sometime just takes over. I yell and scream and cheer and become ever so slightly obnoxious. I almost always lose my voice at games. Every Brave that comes up I stand up and cheer for. When Chipper comes up to bat I shout at him. C'MON CHIPPER!" LET'S GO CHIPPER!" I have booed before and booed loudly. It was at a umpire. When they score I stand and clap and scream and go WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I feel happy and elated, and at home. I don't even feel at home at home some of the time.
Just approaching the field from the car makes me estatic.
I wish there was a way to bring the two together. The loud and proud Brave fan, and the meek and meager other me. Slightly toned down of course. C'MON MCDONALD'S WORKER! LET'S GET THAT SANDWHICH MADE! YOU CAN DO IT! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I HAVE FRIES! I HAVE FRIIIIIIIIIIIES!
When the game ends though, there goes the the loud and proud me and it doesn't come back until I attend another game.
..... If only there was a way to live at Turner Field.

BRAVES WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
TWO GAMES IN A ROW!
LETS SWEEP THOSE CUBBIES!
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
CHIPPER HIT A HOMER! I had to bite a pillow in order not to scream out loud and not wake my nephew. My mom still heard me in the other room though.
Heyward drove in a run! This guy is doing great. I want a 22 shirt now. Look at me, jumping on the Heyward bandwagon. Of course there is reason there is a bandwagon to jump on in the first place.
and the home plate umpire was very, VERY LOUD. God lord he sounded like a... very loud ump.
and is anyone watching this on the Braves Channel? ....Peach Tree TV. I wish they carried all the games. They don't show anything but the Direct TV logo and play music when a game is not playing. I like the music though. They have no commercials either, just show the field when they are between innings.

What is THIS?
So I am ripping a blaster of Topps Heritage and I come across this card.
Looks like a normal base, right?
Then I flip it over.
Err.. someone want to explain why that is on the back
I have a base Grady Sizemore with the normal back.
...and why do I have two # 60's ? One is a Babe Ruth with a white back and the other is a Asdrubal Cabrera. Both have number 60 on the back under the name Topps.
It may have a very obvious answer, but I am still a rookie (baseball) card collector.
