Less is more?

  Twice within the last few days I have started on a post idea -- pulled cards, done some research -- before figuring out I had already written that post.

It was mostly a bunch of newly released Dodgers, particularly stuff from this year's Panini Donruss offering. These were all also pulled for me in a Nachos Grande group break, which is the perils of being a popular blogger who enters a group break. But...
