Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Sunday……​

— Team USA 98, France 87
Steph Curry was 8-14 on the arc, scored 24 points.
Team USA was 18-36 on the arc, France 9-30.
98-87 in a 40:00 game is a lot of offense.
Fifth straight gold medal for the Americans, 17th overall.
These games didn’t have TV timeouts; I’m wondering if that hurt an older American roster at all, but they did what they had to do. Good for them.

— Serbia 93, Germany 83
3rd place game has to be intense; winner gets bronze medal, loser gets…..nothing.
Nikola Jokic had a triple double for Serbia.

— Buccaneers 17, Bengals 14
Cincinnati scored a TD on Joe Burrow’s only series of the game.
Tampa Bay outgained the Bengals, 390-288.

— Bears 33, Bills 6
Chicago led 6-3 at halftime.
Rookie QB Caleb Williams was 4-7 passing for 95 yards, leading two drives that led to field goals.

— Jets 20, Commanders 17
Rookie QB Jayden Daniels scored a TD on the only drive he played for Washington.
Adrian Martinez was 6-10/104 for the Jets.

— Seahawks 16, Chargers 3
With Justin Herbert (foot) out, LA’s three backup QB’s completed only 14 of 32 passes.
Seahawks converted 11 of 20 third down plays.

— Random trivia: I heard this week that a station in Seattle was the first radio station in America to play Beatles songs, back in the 60’s.

— White Sox fired manager Pedro Grifol during a horrendous season where they’ve had losing streaks of 14 and 21 games. Grady Sizemore is Chicago’s interim manager. White Sox were 28-89 when the change was made.

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

— Mariners 12, Mets 1
Mets scored one run in their three losses in Seattle.
Mets finish a brutal 3-7 road trip:

lost 2 of 3 in Anaheim
a 6-0 win in their one game in St Louis.
won 2 of 3 in Colorado
outscored 22-1 in the sweep at Seattle, with the last game the Sunday night game, meaning they didn’t get back to New York until early Monday morning.

— ESPN showing Sunday night’s game was the first time since 2004 they had broadcast a Mariners’ home game on a Sunday night.

— Mariners have used only seven starting pitchers this season, amazingly good health in an age where pitchers seem to get hurt every other day.

— One last Seattle note: Ichiro Suzuki is up for the Hall of Fame next year; if he isn’t voted into the Hall unanimously, the person/people who don’t vote for him should lose the right to vote.

Think about it: Mariano Rivera is the only unanimous choice into the Hall of Fame; who didn’t vote for these people????

Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, Rickey Henderson, Mickey Mantle, Ken Griffey Jr and on and on.

I’m just saying, Ichiro needs to get every vote next year.

— Baltimore Orioles were the first team to 70 wins this season.

— Good news/bad news Saturday for Astros rookie Zach Dezenzo:
Good news: He hit his first major league home run.

Bad news: He hit it over the Green Monster out onto Lansdowne Street; it is unclear if he got the baseball back.

— If the baseball playoffs started today (they don’t
NL: Phillies, Brewers, Dodgers. Wild Cards: Diamondbacks, Padres, Braves
