Friday’s Den: Random stuff with the weekend here……..
— Back in January, I dumped DirecTV for YouTube TV, so I had forgotten about this, but the FOX channel in Albany is still blacked out on DirecTV, and now I’m told the ABC channel in Albany is also off DirecTV. Channel 10 is one of the main college football channels, so people who like sports are likely to be dumping DirecTV as autumn approaches.
— Miami Marlins are 51-38 as we approach the All-Star break; they’re the #1 Wild Card team in the NL right now. Marlins have played 20 games this season that were tied after five innings; they’re 14-6 in those 20 games.
— Manager of the Year race in the National League will be interesting:
Arizona is 50-38, hanging on to first place in the NL West; the last three years, they were 151-233, so Tory Lovullo is a candidate.
Cincinnati is 49-39, in first place in NL Central; they were 62-100 last year, have made the playoffs once since 2014. David Bell is a candidate.
Miami is 51-38; they’ve been in the playoffs once in the last 20 years— that was the shortened season in 2020. They haven’t won a playoff game since they won the 2003 World Series. That makes Skip Schumaker a candidate.
— Major league attendance is up 8.4% so far this season, a good sign for the sport. They’ve done a great job selling the rule changes.
— On June 23, 1971, a pitcher named Rick Wise threw a no-hitter; he also hit two home runs in that game. Pretty good night.
Rick Wise pitched 18 years in the big leagues, had a 188-181 record. He made two All-Star teams, and went 17-14 during that 1971 season.
After that season, he was traded even up for Steve Carlton, that’s how good he was. He wound up in Boston in 1975 and helped the Red Sox get to the World Series.
Rick Wise had an underrated career; if he played for a New York team on June 23, 1971, he’d be a freakin’ legend now.
— Brewers 6, Cubs 5 (10)— Victor Ceratini hit a walk-off homer; Milwaukee led 4-1 after five innings, but blew the lead.
— Tampa Bay/Texas are both in first place, but they’re limping into the All-Star break.
Rangers are 4-9 in their last 13 games; Tampa Bay has lost five games in a row. All-Star break is coming at just the right time for both teams.
— Mets 9, Arizona 0— Francisco Lindor went 5-for-5, with two triples and a homer. Mets and their $375M payroll have won five in a row, as they head to San Diego for the weekend.
— Back in 2019, Patrick Mahomes threw 26 TD passes; those 26 passes were in the air an average of 17.3 yards.
Last year, Mahomes threw 41 TD passes; only one of those 41 passes was in the air more than 19 yards.
— NBA Summer League starts today in Las Vegas; Toronto Raptors have turned a conference room at the Wynn Hotel into a practice facility. If you like the NBA, good idea to take a trip to Las Vegas some year and watch the summer league in person.
— West Virginia transfer Okonkwo has bolted from Morgantown to North Carolina. He played in 31 games last year for the Mountaineers, playing 11 minutes/game, and has two years of eligibility left.
Tar Heels have now added five transfers this offseason.
— 6’3 Serbian guard Djordje Curcic has committed to the Saint Louis Billikens, Travis Ford’s third international recruit in the last month.
— Movie of the Day: Good Will Hunting (1997)— A custodian at M.I.T., has a gift for math, but needs help from a psychologist to find direction in his life.
Matt Damon is the custodian; Ben Affleck is his best friend. Robin Williams is the psychologist; he is great in this movie.
— College football bowl trend of the day: favorites covered seven of last eight Cotton Bowls.
— Random golf trivia: Andrew Magee is the only golfer ever to get a hole-in-one on a par-4 hole during a PGA tournament. He aced the 17th hole at the 2001 Phoenix Open.
— Happy 77th birthday to Fred Dryer, who played 13 years in the NFL, then became an actor— he was the star of the NBC series Hunter, from 1984-91.
Dryer played for the 1979 NFC champ Rams; he is the only NFL player ever to record two safeties in the same game.
Happy birthday Fred!!!

Quote of the Day
“Overall, I’m glad we won this game. There’s no better way to start for your premiere. Honestly, I didn’t really know what I was doing on the court tonight. I’m trying to learn for next game.”
Victor Wembanyama
Saturday’s quiz
Allen Ludden hosted the gameshow Password for 19 years; what popular actress was he married to?
Hint: There is a famous episode of The Odd Couple where Felix/Oscar play on Password, and they play against Ludden’s wife and her partner.
Friday’s quiz
Rams have played in five Super Bowls; four different guys started at QB in those five games, with Kurt Warner starting twice. Vince Ferragamo, Jared Goff and Matthew Stafford are the other three quarterbacks.
Thursday’s quiz
Cal Ripken Jr wore number 8 when he played for the Orioles.
***********************************
Saturday’s Den: Random stuff on a summer night…….
— Spurs 78, Hornets 68— ESPN made way too big a deal about Victor Wembanyama’s NBA Summer League debut; the kid is 18, and it showed Friday night.
They sold out the Thomas & Mack Arena, UNLV’s arena, but Wembanyama shot 2-13 from the floor— he did have 8 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 blocked shots, but if you’re hyping up a kid as the best prospect since Lebron James, more was expected.
— Please don’t bet on who is going to be Rookie of the Year, but if you have to, don’t bet on the favorite— there is no value in it.
Three days ago, Arizona OF Corbin Carroll looked like a great bet to win NL Rookie of the Year, but then his shoulder popped out of place while he was hitting and it still looked like it bothered him in Friday’s game.
— Oklahoma City Thunder made a trade this week where they got a draft pick in the 2030 NBA Draft, which means that they traded for a kid who is probably in the 6th grade these days.
— Wednesday night in Milwaukee, Cubs scored three runs in 9th inning to pull out a 4-3 road win, ending a streak where they had lost 112 games in a row when they trailed by 2+ runs in the 9th inning or later.
— Phillies 4, Marlins 3— Bad loss for Miami; Christian Pache hit a pinch-hit homer in the 9th inning off closer AJ Puk. This is the same Christian Pache who wasn’t good enough to play for the woeful Oakland A’s. Phillies have now won their last 13 road games.
— Arizona 7, Pittsburgh 3
Zac Gallen tossed 7 solid innings, improved to 11-3
Saw something in this game I don’t think I’ve seen before; Jake McCarthy walked his first two times up, then got picked off both times but stole second base both times. It looked like he got picked off on purpose, figuring he could outrun his opponents, which he did.
— Seattle 10, Houston 1— Mariners scored nine runs in 4th inning, and didn’t hit a home run in that inning. Luis Castillo evened his record at 6-6 with seven good innings.
— Dodgers 11, Angels 4— With Mike Trout out for a long time, the Halos are stumbling; will they trade Shohei Ohtani before the August 1 trade deadline? Angels are 45-45, 4.5 games behind the last Wild Card spot.
— Mets 7, Padres 5 (10)
Over last five weeks, San Diego is 1-7 in games where winning run scored from 7th inning on.
Mets have now won six games in a row; they’re still 6.5 games behind the last playoff spot.
— Movie of the Day: The Meddler (2015)— An aging widow from New York (Susan Sarandon) follows her daughter to Los Angeles in hopes of starting a new life after her husband dies.
The title is fitting; Sarandon’s character gets involved in everyone’s business, but lot of what she does is helpful. Some of it isn’t; her relationship with her daughter is shaky.
Excellent cast: Sarandon, JK Simmons, Rose Byrne, Michael McKean, Harry Hamlin, Laura San Giacomo. Stumbled upon this movie on Amazon Prime; it is a good one.
— Worlds colliding; while you slept the other night, I was watching an old episode of Kojak, and who pops up on the screen but Yvonne Craig, who five years earlier had played Batgirl in the classic TV series Batman.
— College football bowl trend of the day: Underdogs are 5-2 SU/6-1 ATS in the last seven Cure Bowls.
— College football teams switching leagues this year:
going to Big X:
BYU, Central Florida, Cincinnati, Houston
going to AAC:
UAB, Charlotte, Florida Atlantic, North Texas, Rice, UTSA
going to Conference USA:
Jacksonville State, Liberty, New Mexico State, Sam Houston State
— If the baseball playoffs started today (they don’t)
NL: Braves, Reds, Arizona. Wild Cards: Dodgers-Marlins-Phillies
AL: Rays, Twins, Rangers. Wild Cards: Orioles, Blue Jays, Astros.
