Gint A Cuffs IV: Packs 1-6

Since I was just starting out as a blogger last year when this contest was rolling, I had no idea what "Gint A Cuffs" was, or what everyone was doing.  Well, once I figured it out I told myself that if the contest was run again this year, I wasn't going to let the opportunity to play pass me by.

Hopefully, I will not butcher the scoring of my hobby box as I go here.

With all that said....a Gint A Cuffs we shall go!!

  6. DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-YUM.

    That Gwynn is so awesome. I don't even like the Padres and I'm drooling. :-) Congrats on that one, and good luck in the rest of your box. Does that count as one of your 3 hits, or do you think you will get 3 more?
