Curious if @bubblegumpopart.bsky.social has incorporated the backs of these cards into any artwork?

really odd 2025 for Williams. More hittable than past years but less BB & the best K/BB of his closer era.

The ERA/ERA+/WAR are all rough, but not sure how much those mean for closers. The 2.68 FIP is a full 2 runs better than raw ERA.

Most interesting current age Comp... Mariano Rivera (#8)
3/50 for a guy like Devin Williams could really be a steal. Nobody outbid them?

Dodgers didn't want him?

If I'm the Blue Jays, I'd rather be paying Devin Williams than Cease. They were a blown save away.

Cubs could use him.

So Real-ID is not a security clearance, it's just a money making scheme?

Nice debut pack
Forgot what day it was and that I had bought an advent calendar.

definitely called for.
I did buy coffee, twice, but not as a deal lol. Also a couple old fashioned as the day progressed.😉

Coffee - one of the tougher Mondays on the calendar.
I don't think I've ever bought anything on Cyber Monday.. I don't even have the interest to look for a deal

Finally picked up this gem.

Anika Orrock signed the book & passed along some cool goodies.

Well packaged, shipped quick. Unfortunately the store is closed until after Christmas.

rough road splits for 2025 Moniak
With 56 Mickey Moniak has the 2nd most HRs in the 1st round of that draft behind only Will Smith. Mickey Moniak's 2025 season is easily one of the funniest season lines of the last decade and was buried because the Rockies are a meaningless shitshow.

Did pretty well with the all star rookie cups in the Holiday Tin

Note the Chourio is a Candy Cane Sleeve variation!

really cool #art and story here
At the Kyiv railway station –
a sculpture Volya by Oleksii Sai

Made from the damaged letters of a welcome sign in Liubymivka, a frontline village in Kherson region, occupied in March 2022 and liberated that October.

Volya means both freedom and will – a word that perfectly captures 🇺🇦 spirit.

The remaining parallels were pretty solid. The De La Cruz card is terrific plus I was pretty excited to get the Big Amish RC

trying to remember who else noted this issue recently
Hey Mayor-Elect Mamdani, you've got bigger fish to fry but who at the Taxi + Limousine Commisdion is getting paid to put this NewsMax crap (and worse, Bari Weiss's "News For Morons") on the screens in the cabs, replacing local NYC TV news?
