bad shipment for some reason. I was comfortable copping the Concords because most of the videos of on youtube looked on point. That not to say it isn possible for them to get a "restock" of the Concords in the future, and they be terrible quality. All in all, just gotta be careful when jordan 7s for sale dealing with "early release" sites. But I definitely pleased with the quality. The real test will be copping their next early release.

Whoever has the cojones to place THAT order, definitely let us know what good! I thinkin bout coppin another pair of Black/Cements, only because that another older shoe and the first BCs I got were on point. Peace! Damn, GNG, that wack. I know this isn a "Mentalkicks" topic, but since we talked about them here, I figured it be best to tell y in <b><a href="http://www.jordanmylove.com/jordan-retro-5/">jordan 5 for sale</a></b> here. I know this topic is a bit played out, but a couple cats have posted comments recently stating that mentalkicks pairs are fake or b-grades and you can tell the quality difference when comparing them to a "retail" pair, yet whenever i ask them to post a video, they never do. When the chance came up for me to cop a retail pair, I decided I do it, which leads us to this video. The nikestore pair is size 13 and DS, but jordans for sale my pair is size 10.

5 and I worn 4 or 5 times. Still, i cleaned them after every wear, and they in good enough shape that I thought it be worth making the video. Anyways, check it out if y want to. Sad that they had been sitting up there for a while. I had been watching them for a week or two checking the availability, waiting for my new CC to arrive, and that was.

Things to see

Welcome! New to the SABR Encyclopedia? Get oriented with the welcome screencast.

To get started, you can look up a person by typing their name (either full name or surname only) in the search box at left, and hit enter. So, typing "Babe Ruth" (without the quotes) will find you the Bambino, while "Ruth" alone will give you all people in the Encyclopedia with the last name Ruth.

The long-run goal of the Encyclopedia is to be the first stop to learn more about any baseball-related topic. The term "encyclopedia" in sports has become synonymous with a tome of tables with statistical data. General-knowledge encyclopedias, however, focus on prose narrative and often avoid tabulation of quantitative information. The SABR Encyclopedia will bridge this gap by recognizing that statistics are central to the culture of baseball, but that at the same time baseball is much more than just statistics. Here you will find, either on the site or via links, biographies, source citations, interviews, photographs, and other resources intended to help broaden and deepen the reader's knowledge about any baseball topic.

Getting involved

If you would like to get involved in building the Encyclopedia, here are some starting points:

  • Introduction to editing – Information about the editing process and editorial review (text or screencast video).
  • Projects:
    • Short bios – Brief narratives about players; a non-technical research project good for those who know some players well.
    • Pictures – Uploading pictures and connecting them with their subjects; a mildly technical project good for those who like pictorial research.
  • Other things to know:
    • Help – Index of all help pages (this link is at the left of every page)
    • Known Issues – Technical and organizational problems in the Encyclopedia that are known to the design team.
