#PackADailyCircus Packs 184-188, #GintACuffs Packs 20-24

Well, here we are. This is the final post from the first Hobby Box of 2015 Allen and Ginter. We've got six packs left. We start the night off with a GAC score of 125.6 so let's see if we can rally some points. According to the current GAC Leaderboard, we have to beat 159.6... That will be tough. Of course, I could always pull the Rip card for extra points. We'll see.

Pack 20

Bernie Williams - Musician - Bo Rosny (Wahoo!!) - GAC +1 (bernie); Total +126.6
Hanley Ramirez - Red Sox - Night Owls (Wahoo!!) - GAC +0; Total +126.6

Jeremy Roenick - Hockey Player - Free Agent - GAC +0; Total +130.6
Crack the Code - Free Agent - GAC +0; Total +130.6
Pack Total +5; GAC Total +130.6

Wow, we managed to get +5 additional points! I even managed to get a player along side several other managers. Williams, an ex-Yankees player defies the scoring rubric, which turns out to be a very good thing for my GAC score!

Pack 21

Juan Lagares - Mets - New Jersey Hadsalls (Wahoo!!) - GAC +0; Total 130.6
Carlos Santana - Indians (Wahoo!) - jacksonville Jobu (Wahoo!!) - GAC +1(ft); Total +131.6

Jacoby Ellsbury - Yankees - Captain Canucks (Wahoo!!) - GAC -1(ynk); Total +138.6
Pack Total +8; GAC Total +138.6

There it is! So, the framed buyback was NOT a box hit! We pulled our third hit from the box and it goes to Jennings64. Nice pull! Congrats to everyone else that got a player here, too. We would have had a Perfect Pack if it weren't for the Sling. So close!

Pack 22

Matt Adams - Cardinals - Free Agent - GAC +0; Total +138.6
Dee Gordon - Marlins - Pedersejs (Wahoo!!) - GAC +0; Total +138.6

Travis D'Arnaud - Mets - New Jersey Hadsalls (Wahoo!!) - GAC +0; Total +139.6
Pack Total +1; GAC Total +139.6

UGH, they sneaked another Yankees player in there on us. That pack netted us a single GAC point. Now that we have found all three box hits, I can't help but wonder if the points are going to come to a trickle.

On the upside, congrats to each of you that can add these to your respective stacks!

Pack 23

Carlos Gomez - Brewers - gcrl (Wahoo!!) - GAC +0; Total +139.6
Yoenis Cespedes - Tigers - Pedersejs (Wahoo!!) - GAC +0; Total +139.6

Glen Perkins - Twins - gcrl (Wahoo!! x2) - GAC +0; Total +141.6
Thunderlips - Wrestler - Free Agent - GAC +0; Total +141.6
Pack Total +2; GAC Total +141.6

Whew! We managed 2 points, but I was afraid we were get a goose-egg. The gcrls pulled TWO players out of this one. Congrats to them! We have just two packs left. I am 18 points away from the current leader in GAC. Ripping the card gives me at least +10, which right now is not enough to justify tearing it open. At least, not to me.

Pack 24

Brandon Moss - Indians (Wahoo!!) - Dominic FDNY (Wahoo!!) - GAC +1(ft); Total +142.6
Zack Greinke - Dodgers - Ventura County Royals (Wahoo!!) - GAC +0; Total +142.6

Gregory Polanco - Pirates - Pennsylvania BCs (Wahoo!!) - GAC +0; Total +146.6
Pack Total +5; GAC Total +146.6

Once again, a Perfect Pack ruined by Ancient Armory. I hate when that happens! I did manager to pull a card for myself. Congrats to everyone taking in cards here! Now, we move to our last pack...

Pack 25

Grant Balfour - rays - Free Agent - GAC +0; Total +149.6
Code Card - Free Agent
Pack Total +3; GAC Total +149.6

Well, tartar sauce! Ripping the card would gives us a slight edge over the current leader. We do have a question in the air regarding the red mini pack, so I am waiting to hear from Mark about that. I believe we will wait until I know more about scoring the red minis and then decide from there.
