I'm pretty mentally useless after exams. I give you the results of some recent post-exam icon binges.
Behind the cut
01-07 Mussina (Mostly from the ALMOST AT AN END Yankees era), Jorge/Andy
08-14 A's (The Big Three, 1 Harden)
15-17 Wright, Reyes, Francoeur
18-23 Cards
24-25 Backe
26-45 Mussina bases (all NYY era)
Samples:
04.
// 15.
// 24.
Administrative Notes:
++ If you lift any of the first 25, credit and a comment is appreciated.
++ #26-45 are bases. I did very little to them besides crop, sharpen, and brighten a touch. Edit to your heart's desire. Credit is not necessary, though a comment would be cool. I'll forgo sharing bases in the future if there's no interest in them. It's just less coding for me when it comes time to post.
++ Brushes and gradients credited in my user info ^_^

01. Mike Mussina with his pinpoint control and his softly wicked smile, standing on the mound like some sort of strange young king. . . . shamelessly stolen from
candle_beck.
03. break like a promise made - Tom McRae, Sau Paulo Rain
05. "We're none of us perfect." -- Methos, Highlander (Forgive Us Our Trespasses)
06. Shadows wait you when you rise / You hold the weight of every moment / Move no distance in your stride - Tom McRae, One More Mile
10-13. Original photos courtesy
finntasmic. Perhaps 14 as well, I'm not sure. My friend
johnnybvo on my newfound interest in the boys of Oakland, recent past and present: "Well, I'm glad you found a way to extend this season. Cause you get right crabby in November usually, and just before spring training? unbearable." Heh.
17. I was originally gonna caption this one "Nice pants", but my inner twelve-year old won out.
18. Seriously. Worst. Throwback Unis. EVER.
21. Fan grabbing some dirt after the last game at Busch. I love this picture. You know, there was almost WAY more of a Cards/Braves/Mets/Astros presence in this post, and then I remembered I don't care about the National League. This picture's cool, though :-P
24. I don't know. I really don't.
26-45. There are, no joke, perhaps a total of 5 images out there in the world of Mike Mussina in uniform and smiling. I wish to God I knew the context of what's going down in #37. I like to imagine Jorge and Derek are about to throw down over Moose's affections ^_~
I emailed TPTB at Gettyimages to let them know they had 4 photos of Kevin Brown and 1 photo of Jason Giambi miscaptioned as pictures of Moose. Man, doesn't anyone take pride in doing their job right anymore? Jason Giambi. I mean, honestly.
