Gint-A-Cuffs: Packs 17-20

We've seen all of the hits, but maybe I can finally start pulling some Cubs?  Let's find out!

Pack #17 = Moose On The Loose!
159 – Devin Mesoraco
144 – Bandon Belt (favorite player) +2
155 – Mike Moustakas
WOULD-10 What Once Would Be – Lunar Colonization +2
Mini 155 – Mike Moustakas (regular back)
330 – Jason Heyward
134 – Joc Pederson
032 – James Murray
Pack Total = +4
Running Total = 93
Average Per Pack = 5.47

Comments:  Say what you want, but I think Joc Pederson is making a duck face on his card.

Pack #18 = Boom, Goes the dynamite!
001 – Madison Bumgarner (favorite player) +2
040 – J.J. Hardy
095 – Kole Calhoun
SP-16 Starting Points – Anthony Rizzo (my favorite player) +6
092 – Michelle Beadle (A&G back) +2
321 – Ben Zobrist
150 – Brody Stevens
212 – Chris Tillman
Pack Total = +10
Running Total = 103
Average Per Pack = 5.72

Comments: It’s a foregone conclusion, even with six packs left, that I did not win the Gint-A-Cuffs competition this year.  But, this was a nice pack.  I finally pulled a Rizzo and I got local boy Ben Zobrist in the same pack.  I’m happy.

Giving Zobrist some love.
 
Pack #19 = More Cardinals.  Ugh.
057 – David Cross
151 – Jorge Soler (favorite team) +1
081 – Buck Farmer
2009 Jonathan Sanchez Full Size Buyback +3
GS-4 Great Scott – Large Hadron Collider +2
Mini – Sam Tuivailala (black border, SP) +6
313 – Jhonny Peralta (another stinkin’ Cardinal) +0
104 – Didi Gregorius (Stupid Yankee) -1
Pack Total = +11
Running Total = 114
Average Per Pack = 6.0

Comments: I was excited to pull the Soler, but that was quickly put in check by two Cardinals and a Yankee.  Seriously? Tuivailala?  Is A&G just making up names now to spite me?

Pack #20
119 – Paul Scheer -1 (for dorky card)
200 – Jose Abreu
255 – Steven Moya
Mini 101 – Steven Strasburg (regular back)
SP-7 Starting Points – Chris Davis +2
305 – Chris Carter
272 – Glen Perkins
225 – Thunderlips
Pack Total = +1
Running Total = +115
Average Per Pack = 5.75

Whelp, there's four more packs to go in the box.  Let's hope they'll pack more of a punch than the last pack/card. (Pun intended.)
