Holy Crop: This is How It's Done
Don't forget: we have the 5 box Bowman Chrome Break coming up. LOTS of teams available, sign up here.
Night Owl has done several definitive posts on cropping, but when I got my cards from the JC Break in the mail this afternoon I had to throw this out there.
First up, the regular 2010 Topps.

Good photo but not great. I appreciate the action shot, the signage on the outfield wall, but there's just not enough for a solid narrative. Again: good card, I like the action, but it's not great.
Then we have 2010 Topps Chrome:
The Chrome doesn't show up well on the scan but check that out. You've got the base about a foot from CC sliding in, a shadow cast behind him, the sign in the background reading "Energy." Darn right! And well done to whomever decided to take a step back on this one and revise the card for the Chrome issue. Very, very nice.
Have a good one everybody and goodnight Pumpsie Green, wherever you are!

We're going back to the Trop!
In other news don't forget the CCC Group break.
LET'S! GO! RAYS!
It looks like Sonny is in it to be the new Jonny Gomes. Peña has returned from exile, Longo is back (although limping), hopefully CC can shake off the terrible strike calls from last night and get back into it. Game ball to Wade Davis---he came up HUGE today. Let's see Price do likewise on Tuesday!

Will the real Tampa Bay Rays...
please show up! C'mon guys. Despite my best-laid plans it looks like I'll be in for the long haul on this one in some airport bar. Delayed flight mean I'm already in a bad enough mood, so let me go home happy!
Go Rays!
Go Rays!
