hey baby, it's the 4th of july!

in honor of x and their classic song, here are a couple of 2008 upper deck x cards for your enjoyment.

andre ethier jersey relic

we'll find out today if dre kept his spot in the starting outfield for the national league in the all star game.  i sure hope so.

russell martin jersey relic

russell is going to get a few days rest next week.  he doesn't have to worry about the all star game.  it would be nice if he would play better, though.  especially when we see what carlos santana is doing in cleveland and know that he was expendable because of martin.

have a safe and happy 4th!
