In about an hour and a half, Stephen Strasburg will take the mound at Nationals Park for the third time, the fourth overall start in his debut season. Sure, it’s going to be a hot one, and people are selling off tickets en masse on StubHub.

If you’re going to stay home or at the office, enjoying the air conditioning, I have a fun game for you. It’s called: “Watch This eBay Auction for A Signed, Rare Stephen Strasburg Baseball Card.” Current total, as of 3:04 p.m. – $100,800.00. As Chris Littman notes over at The Sporting Blog, the bidders seem legit, too.
