topps bunt

By alex eben meyer | Published: April 5, 2012

happy baseball opening day!

if you didn’t know, i love baseball (i even have a minor league name-doppelgänger, sadly he’s in the nationals’ farm system, but i still wish him well). so when i was approached by topps (yes, topps!) to create avatars for their new ipad app, i think we can comfortably say that i was shit giddy. bunt is a baseball companion app that merges old school card collecting and fantasy sports. collect and trade your favorite players and track them in real time. players’ points are based on stats throughout the season. slumping? dump him. streaking? go get that young star. or, if you’re a homer like me, just go with your favorite team.

the bunt team is already working on updates, enhancements, and more avatars for the app, so have at it and let me know what you think. issues? comments? glowing reviews? i know people, they’ll love to hear it all.

starting team bunt lineup:
michael bramlage (P), chris romero (CF), chris pacetti (SS), erich wood (C), ernesto santos (1B), alex eben meyer (3B).

wahoo, it’s baseball playoff time! the phillies are back in the playoffs, and so’s the phanatic. he’s got a beard, he’s got a hell of a starting rotation, and he’s pissed.

phillies: phightin’ like it’s 1980

By alex eben meyer | Published: September 30, 2008

the phillies won the nl east again! second year in a row! the mets also collapsed again, but i’m not the type of guy who would revel in that. what happened, happened, no need even to mention it in this post. bring on the brewers, and maybe this year the phillies will win a game in the playoffs.

on a related phillies note, son and heir contacted me about making a t-shirt with the drawing of the philly phanatic from last year, and that shirt is ready for the playoffs. there are also nice shirts for other baseball teams. mr. sonheir himeself is a cubs fan, whom i am willing to root for in the first round, however, let’s be honest…go phils! check it and tell’m eben sent you.

phillies: sigh

By alex eben meyer | Published: October 9, 2007

it was fun while it lasted, but it didn’t last long (grumble). the phillies laid a big egg against colorado, and all the excitement that filled the eben sails is now gone. back to drawing NON-phanatic drawings.
