March. It's making us mad!

What else needs to be said? I'm just glad that, while my bracket is at the bottom of my group, I still have the most potential points remaining. Now I just need my picks to please stop losing. (My 16.9 percentage is rather pitiful...)

The race to Los Angeles is on. The goal seems to be putting not one, but two NFL teams in LA by 2016. That would make LA the only city in the country to host two teams in each of the five major men's sports leagues (the Big Four plus MLS).

Many of you may have seen a college baseball player was dismissed from his team for using a sexual slur toward Little League World Series standout Mo'ne Davis, but did you see Davis' response? She asked that the player be reinstated as it was an error in judgement and "everyone deserves a second chance." All I can say is that I hope Mo'ne Davis and her example of maturity are a sign of what's to come in the future of baseball and of sports.

Right, as I'm climbing off my soapbox, why don't you check out the new products we have available this week?
Baseball XCs
2005, 2007 Seasons Now Individual Cards

The XC players for the 2005 and 2007 Baseball seasons are now printed on individual cards! Each set is now available from our online store for $33.

Side note: the lineup sheets for 2004, 2005 and 2007 have been updated. Certain players have undergone name changes, which are now reflected on the lineup sheets.  
New Hockey Set
Relive The Peak of Bobby Orr's Career

This Thursday we will begin stocking the 1 969-70 NHL Season (308 cards/$32/ roster). Bobby Orr became the first (and to date, only) defenseman to lead the league in scoring. And he did so while winning the Art Ross, Conn Smythe, Hart Memorial and James Norris Memorial Trophies, and leading the Boston Bruins to a four-game sweep of the St. Louis Blues (slightly different results than the two teams' most recent game of this season).

This season also featured one of the most respectful displays by a home team's crowd in playoff history. And by respectful, I mean the Rangers fans pelted the Bruins players with eggs, nails, coins, rubber balls, apple cores, oranges, an aerosol shaving cream container, ball bearings and other debris (not to mention they set fires in the Madison Square Garden mezzanine). Not that the players (for either team) were any more graceful - this series included the most penalty-ridden game in playoff history to date. Good times.

On that positive note, head over the store and pick up the season today!  
Reissued Soccer Set
EPL 2011-12 Now Available With Ratings

We are reissuing the 2011-12 EPL Season with defensive ratings. The numbers have been recalculated, and players have been reissued corner kick ratings. The set still comes with 555 cards (including the Tim Howard second card) and is still $44. Check out the updated roster sheet and order your 2011-12 EPL Reissue today!

We will begin stocking this set on Thursday.
APBA Polls
How many APBA Baseball board games do you roll on average in a year?

0-10 11 13.1%
10-100 10 11.9%
100-500 43 51.2%
500-1000 11 13.1%
1000+ 9 10.7%

My favorite response was probably that counting the number of games would "be like counting grains of sand." We also received numerous comments that a lot of players have switched to playing Baseball for Windows (APBA 5.75). So, let's spend the next couple of weeks talking about the computer game. Here's this week's poll question: How many APBA Baseball for Windows games have you played across the years?
