Quote of the Day
“I don’t think there was ever a point where I was unhappy with what I was doing. It was just pretty clear that they had a different vision for me than maybe I had for a way that I could help the team win games. There wasn’t a wrong thing. There wasn’t disrespect on either side. I think it was just time for both sides to move on.”
Panthers’ WR Adam Thielen, on his exit from Minnesota

Sunday’s quiz
In the movie Little Big League, a 12-year old kid inherits a major league team from his grandfather. What team did the kid inherit?

Saturday’s quiz
Mark Jackson was head coach of the Warriors before Steve Kerr.

Friday’s quiz
Steve Kerr has won nine NBA championship rings, as a player and a coach. He won three rings playing with the Bulls, two with San Antonio and has won four as coach of the Warriors.




***************************************


Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday……..

— Heat 105, Knicks 86
Miami leads series, 2-1
Heat led 58-44 at halftime.
Knicks shot 34.1% from the floor.

— Lakers 127, Warriors 97
Lakers lead series, 2-1.
LA outscored Golden State 36-18 in 2nd quarter.
Warriors were only 13-44 shooting on the arc.

— Lebron James’ son Bronny committed to play college ball at USC next winter, staying close to home.

Bronny James isn’t his dad; he’s a 6-2 guard who scored 13.8 ppg for his high school team at Sierra Canyon in the LA area. He’s a good shooter, a solid player, but at this point he is a complimentary player.

Here’s what probably going to happen:
Bronny will play at USC for one year.
USC is going to get A LOT of attention next winter.
Then, in 2024-25, Bronny will join his dad’s team, wherever that is. Maybe he’ll play some in the G-League first, but Lebron and his son will be teammates in the NBA two years from now.

— Detroit 6, St Louis 5 (10)
Cardinals have lost eight games in a row, are 10-24, their worst start since 1973.

St Louis announced that Willson Contreras will play more DH and even some outfield, while Andrew Knizner takes over as catcher, for now.

Contreras will be making $18M a year starting next year, and they don’t want him to catch?

— Seattle 7, Houston 5
Astros led 3-0 in 8th inning, then Seattle scored seven runs in the 8th.

— Rockies 5, Mets 2— Mets’ TV had Marv Albert in their booth for a couple innings early in the game, ironically while the Knicks game was going on. Mets’ TV voice Gary Cohen doesn’t defer to a lot of people, but he called Albert the greatest basketball announcer ever. It was fun to listen to.

Meanwhile, the Mets have scored a total of 4 runs in their last four games. Not good.

— Dodgers 2, Padres 1
San Diego had their 12th sellout in 20 home games.
Dustin May out-dueled Blake Snell; LA is in first place in the NL West.

— Arizona 8, Washington 7
Nationals trailed 6-2, but scored five runs in 9th to take a 7-6 lead- they blew the lead, with Lourdes Gurriel tying the game with a homer, then Pavin Smith drew a bases-loaded walk to send the fans home happy.

— Rangers 10, Angels 1— Nathan Eovaldi tossed eight shutout innings, as Texas re-takes first place in the AL West.

— A’s 5, Royals 4— Oakland wins consecutive games for the first time this season; they also got another win from a starting pitcher, and their bullpen tossed four scoreless innings.

Kansas City is 2-16 at home.

— NL Central is a sinking ship this week:
Pirates have lost six games in a row.
Brewers have lost six games in a row.
Cardinals have lost eight games in a row.

Pittsburgh still leads the Brewers by a game and a half.

— Red Sox 7, Phillies 4
Boston has won eight games in a row.
Bryce Harper hit his first homer this season.

— This info is from Ralph Michaels on Twitter:
From 2004-22, only 8 times did a team play 30+ games, with a win % of less than 33%, then
was favored by -160 or more.

In the last three days, it also happened four times, after it happened four times in 19 years, and all four teams (Cardinals 3 times, Royals) got beat.

— In college basketball, in 23 conferences that are one-bid leagues for the NCAA Tournament, the Player of the Year in those conferences:

9 of the 23 graduated
10 of the remaining 14 transferred
One of the four who stayed, the DeVries kid at Drake, plays for his dad.

As an A’s fan, I despise rich teams poaching from the poor, but that is what college sports have become. 10 kids who were Player of the Year in their conference have transferred.

Thought of the Day
RIP to the great pitcher Vida Blue, who passed away at age 73.

Only one player in MLB history won:
— an MVP
— a Cy Young award
— 3+ World Series titles
— 200+ games as a pitcher

Vida Blue is the only player to do that. RIP, sir.

Monday’s quiz
From 1972-74, the A’s won three straight World Series; who did they beat in those World Series?

Sunday’s quiz
In the movie Little Big League, a 12-year old kid inherits the Minnesota Twins from his grandfather, who was played by Jason Robards.

Saturday’s quiz
Mark Jackson was head coach of the Warriors before Steve Kerr.




*************************************************


Monday’s Den: My 13 favorite Batman (TV) villains

13) Chandell (Liberace)— The gifted piano player was both Chandell (the piano player) and his twin brother Harry who it turns out, was the real villain.

Trivia: Two Batman villains also had roles in Magnum PI; Howard Duff (Cabala) played Magnum’s grandfather. Barbara Rush (Nora Clavicle) played Magnum’s Aunt Phoebe, a playwright who had Alzheimer’s, and was also in another earlier episode.

12) Bookworm (Roddy McDowell)— Appeared in two episodes; Bookworm’s crimes were inspired by literary works, well, because he likes books.

McDowell also appeared in the Batman animated series in the early 90’s.

11) Colonel Gumm (Roger C Carmel)— He loved the color pink and was obsessed with stamps; Colonel Gumm appeared in the two-episode crossover with The Green Hornet, with Bruce Lee as Kato and Van Williams as the Green Hornet.

Trivia: There were three different Mr Freeze’s; Eli Wallach, Otto Preminger, George Sanders.

10) Siren (Joan Collins)— Played a sidekick to The Riddler’s devious plan to take over Gotham City’s boxing industry, but she also wanted to uncover Batman’s true identity.

9) The Archer (Art Carney)— Ed Norton from The Honeymooners was also a Batman villain!!!

Archer’s character was based (loosely) on Robin Hood; his henchmen were Maid Marilyn, Big John, and Crier Tuck.

8) King Tut (Victor Buono)— Appeared in eight episodes; Buono supposedly loved playing the character because it allowed him the chance to over-act, one of the aspects of the character that made King Tut so beloved by fans.

7) Marsha, Queen of Diamonds (Carolyn Jones)— Better known for playing Morticia Addams on The Addams Family, Ms Jones was in five episodes of Batman, joining Addams Family cast members John Astin, Ted Cassidy in making Batman appearances.

6) Egghead (Vincent Price)— When I was a kid, would often substitute (eggs-ellent) for excellent when talking to my family. For a little kid, that was eggs-citing. Vincent Price was awesome in this role, an egg-centric guy with a very strangely-shaped head.

5) Mad Hatter (David Wayne)— This villain was obsessed with getting his hands on Batman’s cowl, which of course didn’t happen.

Wayne also appeared in four movies with Marilyn Monroe.

4) Penguin (Burgess Meredith)—Is more famous for playing Rocky Balboa’s trainer Mickey, but Meredith appeared in 20 Batman episodes, most of any villain.

3) Catwoman (Julie Newmar)— Lee Meriwether, Eartha Kitt also played Catwoman, but Julie Newman was the best of the three; she was 5-11, a prima ballerina for the Los Angeles Opera who graduated high school when she was 15.

in 2004, her next-door neighbor Jim Belushi sued her for $4M alleging harassment and defamation of character, as a result of a dispute over leaf-blowing.

2) Joker (Cesar Romero)— Appeared in 19 episodes, 2nd-most of any villain. Romero refused to shave his mustache and you can see it under his white face paint.

Romero had a long, excellent career; he appeared in the first Oceans Eleven (1960). He was also in an episode of Magnum PI, playing a jewel thief whose daughter was also a thief.

1) Riddler (Frank Gorshin)— No one wore the green body suit with the big ???’s on it better than Gorshin, who had a long career as a TV guest star, appearing in CSI, Wonder Woman and the original Hawaii Five-O, among many other shows.

John Astin played The Riddler for two episodes, but of course he was way more famous as Gomez Addams in The Addams Family.
