Vicks signs wih the Eagles

Vick Sign with the Eagles

PHILADELPHIA – Michael Vick is back in the NFL, landing a job with the Philadelphia Eagles.

"He signed with the Eagles," agent Joel Segal told The Associated Press in a telephone interview Thursday. He said it was a two-year deal.

Holy Snap Micheal Vick has just got signed by the Eagles. Many people thought vick wouldn't be signed others did. With Vick signing before the preseason we could see Vick in less than a week. Its going to pretty interesting when Vick plays his first game. There are many questions how will the fans react will he be booed will he get cheers. What will Peta and the protester react how hectic will his first game be. A very interesting note the Eagles will play at Atlanta Week 13. I wonder how the Atlanta fans will react if Vick plays. Many of his cards are still sought by many collectors. Many of his cards still even reach 70 bucks. When his new cards get released we know for a fact that collectors will still want his cards.

Pedro & The Playoffs

Pedro Martinez pitched his first game for the Phillies yesterday.Martinez got the win against the cubs beating them 12 to 4. He pitched a great game and looked good.His fastball was nice his changeup was amazing.

He gave up 3 runs and struck out 5 batters. In the game yesterday Pedro past Bob Gibson in total career strikeouts. Playing for the Phillies Pedro won't have to worry about run support because they score many runs. Pedro Martinez is going to be an important role in the Phillies pursuite for another consecutive World Series win.

There isn't much competition In the NL east except the marlins who are just 3 1/2 games behind but the Phillies got more depth in there roster which will help them at the end of the season and Postseason. It's getting interesting with the season ending in less than 2 months and teams pushing for a spot in the playoffs.

The most exciting playoff races are going to be both wild card races . I wanted to say the al east but if the Yankees continue to play the way there playing they will win the division by a wide margin. It's going to be an interesting 09 season which has been great.

Here are my Playoff Predictions.

NL

West-Dodgers

Same like the Yankees(*see below)

Central-Cardinals

East-Phillies

Good all around will be the team to beat.

Wild Card- Giants

I really love the pitching which i think is the best in the NL and maybe in the MLB. There hitting is starting to hit good.

AL

West-Angles

Texas won't catch the Angles they don't have a good pitching.

Central-White Sox

With Jake Peavy there Starting Rotation is going to be good and a threat in the playoffs

East-Yankees

There hitting like crazy but i still don't have a Ace to pull them through the playoffs.

Wild Card-Rays

It will either be the Rays or Red Sox it will go done to last 3 or 2 games of the season.

Topps VS UpperDeck

The top story buzzing around in the card world is Upper Deck losing MLB rights. Although losing the MLB rights they still have the MLBPA rights.This allows them to still produce cards with players name but with no logos of MLB or MLB teams. Upper deck is gonna go this route since they still wanna make cards. So I guess your wondering how are cards gonna look with no logos. Don't wonder anymore because with my photo shop skills LegendaryWax gots you covered.

This one doesnt look that bad but the no logo on the cap feels very weird but I could live with it.

Now this where we run into some problems. I mean you cant tell thats he wearing a baseball uniform. UD is going to have to pick its pictures wisley. Chose a bad picture and you wont be able tell if its a baseball card or not.

Now this one looks okay your not losing much logo just a little bit on the helmet which you can't even see.

I still cant get used to hats with no logos its too weird and so anti-baseball.

This is the best one yet, his hands covering the logo and he has a batting helmet which looks better than the hat when logo-less.

There you have it. When you really think about logoless cards aren't that. I really think UD can pull it off and still compete with topps. Its going to war now Topps vs UD in 2010 now there enemies there kill each other. This is what baseball cards a rivalry which could deeply improve sells.

The Game Winner Yesterday

Man that game was great a home run to beak the tie and win the game was amazing. No I'm not talking about the A-Rod 15th inning Walk-Off Home Run, that placed 2nd in my top moments of yesterdays games. Im talking about Everth Cabrera's Walk-Off Grand Slam against the top closer in the game today K-Rod.

It was only Everth's second career Home Run and it was huge. Even though Cabrera struck out the previous three at a bats and he was facing a great pitcher he still battled and came out victorious.

The Padres haven't had much success this season but yesterdays game was incredible. That why I love baseball because if your team is bad they still have 162 games to have a great game, one that you'll remember.

Still Time to Enter Hurry

2009 Trade deadline

Today has been a hectic day for baseball players, mangers, reporters, and fans. Big names were swirling around the media, players like Halladay, Lee, Martinez, Laroche, and my favorite player Adrian Gonzalez.

My heart sank thinking about the Padres Offense without there top hitter, or should I say there only hitter. I didn't how much of the Padres sucking I could tolerate from the players to the terrible ownership( the owner had to cut his payroll significantly because he couldn't keep "his pants on"' if you know I mean.

I woke up about 8 in morning to check up on trade rumors, and there was a bunch of story's going around many which fell threw. Adrian Gonzalez was heavily targeted by the Red Sox in a mega blockbuster trade. The price was eventually to high for the Red Sox's who have a serious problem of clinging on to there prospects.

There was serious trend of many teams holding on there prospects a little bit too much these past couple of years, but a bit more evident this year.

I was constantly watching and reading about updates of padres on the move. The deadline finally arrived and no Padres were traded ........YET.

When I arrived thinking that all the trades were set and done I heard a Bombshell. I mean this was the biggest trade I seen the Padres make in the 9 years of following them. It was Jake Peavy who got traded which was a bittersweet moment for me. I seen Jake pitch since the beginning of his pro debut, Peavy was the face of the franchise of the Padres along with ex padres Trevor Hoffman for many years.

Although I'm saddened of his departer I know its for the better of the team. I'm really excited of the young arms were receiving from the White Soxs.

Clayton Richard is struggling a bit, like most rookie, but with him moving to the NL and in pitchers friendly Petco Park his numbers will greatly improve. My favorite player has to be the White Sox top pitching prospect Aaron Poreda. He had a great season in AA this year with a 2.38 ERA and only 1 HR allowed and was recently called up.

The Padres look like they have a good young rotation

Chris Young/Mat Latos/Clayton Richards/Aaron Poreda/ maybe Sean Garrland

Overall I like the Padres move of Jake Peavy because they pulled off a great trade that benifits them for years to come.
