Alrighty, on to round #2.  Continuing with box #1 I will continue to capture some of the comments my wife uttered as we were opening the packs together.  It's pretty funny to hear her giggle at some of the "constipation faces" that some of the pitchers have.

Probably the biggest surprise of box #1 for me was the amount of Astros cards.  I expected big hauls from the Rangers, Yankees (of course), and Giants but I'm sure the Dimwit isn't complaining.  It stinks that the Pale Hose weren't a chosen team but I'm sure that P-Town Tom is glad he made the trade for them so I guess technically he wanted them.  What will box #2 and #3 hold?
