Just wondering why Pebble Beach isn't a major. Great location, challenging coarse. Would be a perfect way to draw in the casual golf fans.

This Skycast on ESPNU is great. A nice alternative to those overly- dramatic...constantly chattering announcers we're forced to listen to on the "traditional" telecasts. Here's hoping this format will become a regular feature @espn

[@JPCharvat @jpcharvat]

So refreshing to have Bob Costa and Ron Darling on the mic after three hours listening to AJ and Waino drone on and on about pitch selection. Come on Fox, do better

Wonder how much Strauss paid to have their name pasted on all of the batting helmets during the Wildcard round

[@JPCharvat @jpcharvat]

This crew working the #tigers - #astros game is so good I had to double check to make sure I was on ESPN. Michael Kay is the best, Tim Kurkjian is so entertaining and Todd Frazier is a keeper. They don't talk analytics all game. It's very refreshing

@umbyrispoli unknowingly paid homage to Fernando Toro on the day Toro is honored at @DelMarRacing. Toro told me the secret to his success on the turf was 'ride the rail and don't let anybody else down there with you.' Rispoli did just that with Anisette in the Del Mar Oaks

So great to see Bruce Bochy back in the game. The Rangers are lucky to have him...

[@JPCharvat @jpcharvat]

Is it wrong to place last night's Aztecs buzzer beater alongside Steve Garvey's home run in 1984 or Dennis Gibson knocking down the pass in the end zone to send the Chargers to the Super Bowl in 1995 as the all-time greatest plays in San Diego sports history?
