Gint-A-Cuffs 17-20: Turning It Up...Or Not

Getting down to the nitty gritty now. Only 2 posts left. Can I pull it off?

Does the Pope shit in the woods?


Pack 17:

#121 Ryan Church
#113 Rafael Furcal
#195 Kevin Kouzmanoff
#32 Jeremy Bonderman
#119 Scott Lewis - Favorite Team +1 - That's former Buckeye Scott Lewis


#35 Geovany Soto - Favorite Player List +2 - What the heck is up with Soto's (hey, that's a whatchamacallit...a...uh...palindrome) face here? It's bizarre, strange, and a little disconcerting. He looks like he's flaunting knowledge of a secret that he consideres innocent enough, but is actually horrible and evil to any non-sociopath. Something like he knows the place where the girl is buried and when she'll run out of oxygen. Creepy.


#126 Trevor Crowe Mini - Favorite Team +1


#NP67 Adrian Gonzalez Natioanl Pride - Favorite Player List +4

Pack 19:

#254 John Maine
#1 Jay Bruce - Favorite Player List +2 - If your name was "Jay Bruce" is there any way your nickname wouldn't be "Jaybert The Bruce"? I should be in charge of nicknames. If I was in charge he sure wouldn't end up as "J-Bru", I can tell you that much.


#18 Clyde Parris - Negro Leaguer +2


#232 Everth Cabrera
#269 Brian McCann - Favorite Player List +2 - Opps. Forgot to rotate this one apparently. And anyone who thinks I'm not too lazy to fix it hasn't been reading this blog very long.

Conclusions: OK, I'm a little less than 100 behind with one (or is it 2?) more relic(s?) to go. Not easy, but certainly not impossible either. Beardy must be going out of his mind with anticipation.

So, do you think I have the juice?
