-NEW! I took the guestbook down because it was getting spammed like crazy.
-I have a new poll up. According to last month's poll, 99% of you have never sent a jersey to be signed through the mail. Only one respondent said that he had.
-I have a new contest up. Congrats to Dennis from New Jersey on winning last month's contest.
-I have a new Autograph of the Month up. Strangely, last month 100% of you agreed with me that Jacob Tamme was the right choice for AOTM.
-It took a while, but I finally got my review of 2009 written up. Read it on the Rants/Articles page.

Autograph of the Month
Month: January
John Lackey
I received two really awesome successes in January, and they are both deserving of the Autograph of the Month honor: Lackey, and quarterback Mark Brunell. It was a tough to decide between one of the top pitchers in the game today and one of the best quarterbacks of the 1990s and early 2000s, but in the end I chose the former.
Lackey is a good pitcher. No, he is a great pitcher. He has over 100 career wins, and he has won as many as 19 games in a season--2007. That year, he was also an All-Star. He has led the league in ERA once, and in shutouts three times.
And now that he is with the Red Sox, I think he'll do even better. He has a solid cast around him, one that may even make him a 20-game winner. Even if he doesn't win 20 games, he is almost a guarantee to win 15 or so.
Because John Lackey is such a good pitcher, I name him the Autograph of the Month.
