"There's never been anything I like or like to do that I wanted to go by faster." That's the best summation of the pitch clock's effect on baseball games that I've heard yet. @MLBNetwork @mlb @s
When you go out for lunch in downtown Tampa, ya hear lots of conversations about the Rays & their great start. I hear true fans say they don't like the speedy version because they enjoy being there. There's never been anything I like or like to do that I wanted to go by faster.

And finally, the card that has me vexed - it's a /50 featuring Miggy and Rodriguez on the #Marlins and it's a double rip card. It could be anything! Even Miggy and Rodriguez cards! No idea what I'm going to do with this one yet.

Couple autos - the George Brett is /10, which doesn't suck. Plus, he looks like a maniac, which is the type of focus he dedicated to the game. Key player from my childhood. No idea who the rookie is, but I love the framed minis.

Foils and Chromes - I prefer foils to Chrome in general, but I am not as thrilled with these foils as I am something like the Metal Universe foils. Still, nice cards. Also, it makes complete sense that Walter White would be a #Dodgers fan. #BreakingBad

OK, I've gathered the hits, such as they are. Posting them for my friends in #TheHobby. First up, the minis - some of these are SPs, black borders, or A&G backs, or some combination thereof. I'm a sucker for minis, honestly.

Looking at the checklist for Allen & Ginter and I am a little confused. Can someone please explain the backs here? Thanks. #TheHobby @CardPurchaser

Chris Long (@JOEL9ONE) on the Texans defense on @greenlight: “That defense is a super power. That defense is the best defense in the league.”

Sarkisian's argument revolves around ignoring actual results and just believing UT is one of the best. If you're the best, be the best. Don't lose to Florida. No one cares you lost to OSU. That was respectable.
Steve Sarkisian is right, we do want best against best in CFP. Is Texas one of them? https://t.co/IMUzDHvb9W via @houstonchron

@MicrophoneMilo Well, look at it this way - they paid however many millions of dollars to Christian Walker for his 1.1 fWAR and 0.2 bWAR, so they had to stop paying Dubón for his 2.2 fWAR and 1.7 bWAR. I'm creating my own analytic - dollars per WAR above replacement, or $WARAR.

It’s Thanksgiving week and we’re cracking open another pair of 20-21 Upper Deck hockey packs because I’m a glutton (for punishment)😅

I say this with as little love and respect as I can muster - if you're going to require us to disrobe to various degrees and/or look at us naked through machines before we can ride your little plane, you can fk right off with your dress code.
🚨 THE U.S. GOVERNMENT IS NOW GIVING “AIRPORT DRESS CODES” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy rolled out a new “air civility” message and some of the quotes are wild. He says holiday travelers should “dress with some respect” because it “encourages us to behave better.” He

I know a lot of y'all think football is big in Texas, but it's cooled off a lot in these more civilized times.
The Arcane Texas Fact of the Day is in regards to when the UT football team decided that the A&M football team played too rough/dirty and decided not to play the game for a few years. It's a great story. The hullabaloo blew up on Nov. 14, 1911, the morning after Texas had

For those of us that grew up watching The Kid, remember how special he was? This will help you understand how great and underrated Stan The Man was.

“Hill Country Rain” is a track I wrote on my front porch a week before the massive floods in Kerrville,TX. The rain you hear on the track is from the storm of the floods that next morning. We had no idea while recording it. I hope this track brings peace to the beautiful souls we

This Texans vs. Broncos debate for Best Defense is interesting.. but, let's not get silly. The "Sack numbers" crowd will tell you the Denver has the #1 defense in the NFL. But, every other visual, statistical, and historical metric will tell you that Houston is that and it's

@AKInfinity_VVS This random guy's list is irrelevant. There's an award named after him because he's 600 blocks ahead of the second place guy on the all time blocks list. Also literally only player top 10 all time in blocks steals and rebounds.
