A flurry of deals today, the biggest being the Dodgers/Marlins deal.  Very suprised that the Dodgers dealt LoDuca, who I consider to be the heart of their squad.  They must really be confident that they can land Randy Johnson.  Supposed Unit is going to sleep on the deal to LA.  

I don't think there's a team on the planet that wouldn't deal Lo Duca for Brad Penny anyhow; regardless of whether it turns into a 1/2 year of the Unit or not.

That's debatable.  The LA Times was filled with articles today about how the Dodger players were stunned that Lo Duca was dealt.  He was the heart of the team.  The Dodgers brass better hope these deals don't ruin the team's chemistry, especially now that Charles Johnson vetoed the trade from Colorado and the Unit deal falling through.  Penny definitely upgrades their staff, but now they have no catcher.  The West is so weak they should still make it out of there.

I'm SO happy that Nomar is out of Boston.  I wish him well with the Cubbies.  

that looks pretty cool scott. i gave up with these after series 7 or 8, somewhere around there. and i don'y know why, they were actually easy to find. maybe that's why i gave them up - not challenging enough  

I gave up on them because there were too damn many!

I can email one to anyone who wants one.  Shoot me an email.

That dirty bastard jjks is the one who got me so hooked on SW collecting back when.  I finally got out and just focus on SportsPicks now.  SW just put out too much stuff after awhile.  Glad I got out when I did.  

Jason, is she grabbing your ass?!  (or vice versa?)

She's got a whole heapin handful of the King's cheeks buddy!  

only thing about em is you really cant duel or fight with em but i suppose thats why they are collectbles lol.

I like the luke esb fx that looks really good. do u know if the mace fx has the start up sequence like the vader fx or is it just flick the switch and bang the lights on.?

I'm pretty sure I saw someone fire it up and it "ignites" the same way.  Might want to ask around though, maybe email MR.

Bad news for you then.  Randy Johnson shot down a trade to the Dodgers within the last couple of days...He is saying Yankees or bust now.

Yeah, that's the same thing I unfortunately heard on the sports talk radio during lunch unfortunately...  What the hell happened to the Angels though?  I thought they were the favorites just a day or two ago.  Dammit!

As for the Posada demand by the D'backs, I heard the same thing on the radio at lunch today too, but most everyone was in agreement that the Yanks would be stupid to do that.  Just as the Dodgers would've been stupid to let Paul LoDuca go as part of a potential Big Unit deal too...

Today's the supposed deadline (that Randy just set) to figure all this crap out.  So it sounds like there's only a few more hours for the D'backs to move him.  Should be interesting...

What happened to the Angels is that they forgot how to score runs and have fallen out of the race for Unit.  As it stands for them, he doesn't see them as a legit title contender so he doesn't want to go there and the Angels are reluctant to part with any of their studs in the farm system.  Anaheim is the best fit, but I don't see it happening unfortunately.  I'd like to see Randy pitch all the time as much as the next guy here in So Cal, but it ain't gonna happen.

Bad news for you then.  Randy Johnson shot down a trade to the Dodgers within the last couple of days.  The D-Backs were so sure it was complete that they went to him and asked him to waive his no-trade and he declined!  He is saying Yankees or bust now.  Funny thing is, a kid from my high school who's in the Dodgers system was supposed to be part of the deal.
