6-3— Tua Tagovailoa

Quote of the Day
“Whatever you do, always give 100%, unless you’re donating blood.”
Bill Murray
Monday’s quiz
Which Hall of Fame tennis player was a judge in an episode of Law & Order?
Sunday’s quiz
Dave Stieb (1990) is the only Toronto Blue Jay to throw a no-hitter.
Saturday’s quiz
In the football movie Necessary Roughness, Texas State’s football team were the Armadillos.
*************************************************************
Monday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Sunday…….
— Very busy couple of days for NFL front offices; teams have to trim their rosters from 90 players to 53 players, by 4:00 Tuesday.
1,184 players will be released, waived or put on injured lists; 544 of those players will wind up on somebody’s practice squad.
This week’s episode of Hard Knocks is usually the best one of the summer.
— Cruddy teams will be scouring the waiver wire, improving their roster by pouncing on guys cut by the better teams.
— Tigers 9, White Sox 4
It is August 26, the White Sox have already lost 100 games.
They traded for Miguel Vargas from the Dodgers on July 29; he is 6-62 for Chicago.
Oy.
— Padres 3, Mets 2
Mets led this game 2-0 in 8th inning,
Jurickson Profar tied game with an 8th inning home run.
Jackson Merrill walked it off with a ninth inning tater.
— Astros 6, Orioles 3
ESPN’s Sunday night crew likes to put a microphone on a player and interview him while he’s in the field; for this game, they chose 20-year 2B Jackson Holliday, who is hitting .171 for an Oriole team that is 6-8 in its last 14 games, as they struggle to make the playoffs.
This is why ESPN has become annoying; Baltimore has a lot of good young players, why not choose one of those? Someone hitting over .200, maybe? Why put mikes on players at all? They just ask stupid questions and distract the players.
— A’s 4, Brewers 3
When I was in Las Vegas for Opening Day of baseball season, the A’s season win total was 56.5; this was their 56th win this year, after last year’s horrific 50-112 nightmare.
A’s are 19-14 since the All-Star break; manager Mark Kotsay is doing a good job with the hand he was dealt.
— Dodgers 3, Rays 1
Mookie Betts hit a 2-run homer in the 8th inning.
Dodgers are 78-53, have MLB’s best record.
— Cardinals 3, Twins 2
Lars Nootbaar hit a two-run single with two out in 9th inning.
St Louis has won four of its last five games.
— Famous birthdays, August 26th:
Brett Cullen, 68
Melissa McCarthy, 54
Morris Peterson, 47
Macaulay Culkin, 44
David Price, 39
Elvis Andrus, 36
James Harden, 35
Ranger Suarez, 29
Kyren Williams, 24
— Cardinals’ C Willson Contreras broke the middle finger on his right hand when he was hit by a pitch Saturday, bad news for St Louis (and my fantasy team). Contreras missed six weeks earlier this year- he broke his left hand when a hitter smashed it while batting.
— The high temperature in Las Vegas Friday was 96, the first time in 65 days the temp didn’t to 100 degrees on the Strip. Friday’s low temp was 77, the lowest temperature in Las Vegas since June 20th.
— On August 4, 1982, Joel Youngblood played for two different teams in two cities, on the same day; he went 1-2 for the Mets against Hall of Famer Ferguson Jenkins at Wrigley Field, then got dealt to Montreal— he flew to Philadelphia, got a pinch hit off of Hall of Famer Steve Carlton in that game.
Five Hall of Famers played in that Expos-Phillies game.
— I’ve never had cotton candy or coffee; cotton candy looks gross. My parents drank coffee, but to me, it just looked like warm mud.
— Joe Musgrove has thrown 20 consecutive scoreless IP against the Mets.
— In 1952, a pitcher for the Tigers named Virgil Trucks threw a no-hitter on May 15 another one on August 25, and also threw a one-hitter on July 22nd.
What makes this interesting is Trucks’ record for 1952:
5-19, 3.97 in 29 starts, with two no-hitters and a one-hitter.
— There is no on-deck circle on the field at Fenway Park; it just looks strange.
— Congrats to Hall of Famer Rod Carew; the 78-year old native of Panama became an American citizen last week. Good for him!!! He was a career. 328 hitter, just a great freakin’ hitter.

Tuesday’s 6-pack:
Highest-paid wide receivers:
$35M— Justin Jefferson, Minn
$34M— Cee Dee Lamb, Dal
$32M— AJ Brown, Phil
$30.002M— Amon-Ra St Brown, Det
$30M— Tyreek Hil, Mia
$28.3M— Jayden Waddle, Mia
Quote of the Day
“I never respond to guy that’s never won a championship. He didn’t win a college championship, I don’t know if he even won a high school championship.”
Magic Johnson, talking about Timberwolves star Anthony Edwards, who had dismissive things to say about NBA stars of the past.
Tuesday’s quiz
In the history of the New Jersey Jets, which QB threw the longest touchdown pass?
Monday’s quiz
Hall of Fame tennis player Billie Jean King was a judge in an episode of Law & Order.
Sunday’s quiz
Dave Stieb (1990) is the only Toronto Blue Jay to throw a no-hitter.
********************************************
Tuesday’s Den: Nobody asked me, but……..
— Dallas Cowboys gave WR CeeDee Lamb a 4-year deal worth $136M, with $100M guaranteed, including a $38M signing bonus.
— Green Bay Packers upgraded at backup QB, acquiring Malik Willis from Tennessee, in exchange for a 7th round draft pick. Titans drafted Willis in the third round of the 2022 draft; he played in 11 games for Tennessee, starting three times (1-2) in 2022.
— Pittsburgh Pirates are switching Oneil Cruz from shortstop to center field; Cruz is hitting .265 this year with 18 home runs, but he’s also made 24 errors at shortstop.
— Should a designated hitter win the MVP? I know Shohei Ohtani has done amazing things, but with year, he never steps on the field, except to hit. Dodgers have other stars; Mookie Betts, Freddie Freeman, so Ohtani isn’t their only big name.
Seems like Mets SS Francisco Lindor would be an good choice for MVP; he plays every day, bats leadoff, plays shortstop. It is an interesting debate.
— Orioles acquired P Trevor Rogers from the Marlins at the trade deadline, for two prospects; Rogers then went 0-2, 7.11 in his first four starts for Baltimore, and they sent him down to AAA.
Makes me feel better when I screw something up with my fantasy team; guys who are getting around $1M a year make mistakes, too.
— New York Stock Exchange closed Monday at 41,241, the highest it has ever been, which is good news if you’ve invested in the market.
— Famous birthdays, August 27th:
GW Bailey, 80
Buddy Bell, 73
Diana Scarwid, 69
Mike Maddux, 63
Jim Thome, 54
Patrick Adams, 43
Darren McFadden, 37
Kevin Huerter, 26
Franz Wagner, 23
— Royals 4-9, Guardians 3-4
Kansas City sweeps a twinbill, moves within a game of first place.
Salvador Perez knocked in six runs in the nightcap.
— Mariners 5, Rays 1
Bryce Miller is 6-3, 2.14 in 14 home starts.
Bryce Miller is 4-4, 4.75 in 12 road starts.
Randy Arozarena homered against his old team.
— Phillies 3, Astros 2 (10)
Bryce Harper had the walk-off single for Philly.
Houston is 2-5 in its last seven games.
— Cubs 18, Pirates 8
Chicago had 21 hits, stole eight bases.
Cubs are 7-3 in their last ten games.
— Florida Gators have a freshman center from Canada named Olivier Rioux, who is a very tall young man; he is 7-foot-9.
— A’s have a pitcher Grant Holman who made his MLB debut August 17; so far he’s allowed a run in 3 IP, in four relief appearances.
On August 16, 2013, Holman threw an extra-inning no-hitter in the Little League World Series, the first one of those since 1979.
— Golden State Warriors owner Joe Lakob has listed his Malibu home for $44M; he bought the house five years ago, for $29.1M— the property taxes are $350,000 a year.
— UCLA’s football team will travel 22,048 miles this year; they have road games at both Hawai’i and Rutgers, which are 4,935 miles apart. Bruins will cross 26 time zones in their travels this season.

****************************************************
Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings……..
— White Sox are the worst baseball team in the last 100 years; Tuesday night, their best pitcher is pitching, a young guy (Garrett Crochet) whose innings they’re trying to limit, because he has already thrown 128 innings this year— he’s thrown a TOTAL of 73 IP in the previous FOUR years combined, so he is at risk of injury, according to analytics people.
So Tuesday night, Crochet throws four pitches and it starts raining and never stops; the game is suspended until Wednesday. I’m thinking there is no way they let Crochet warm up again and pitch Wednesday, which is good news for Texas, the team they’re playing.
— Royals 6, Guardians 1
Kansas City wins first three games in series; the teams are tied for first in AL Central.
Royals are 23-13 since All-Star break; they were 56-106 last year.
— A’s 5, Reds 4
When I see the A’s winning in Cincinnati, I think of October 22, 1972, my all-time favorite day as a sports fan.
A’s beat the Reds in Game 7 of the World Series
Rams won on a 54-yard field goal on the last play of the game, also against Cincinnati.
12-year old me was very happy that day.
— Orioles 3, Dodgers 2
O’Hearn, Urias homered for Baltimore.
Dodgers 1B Freddie Freeman (broken finger) sat this game out.
— Rays 3, Mariners 2
Game was scoreless after five innings.
Jeffrey Springs tossed five shutout IP for Tampa Bay. ‘
Siri, Diaz homered for the Rays.
— Braves 8, Twins 6 (10)
Atlanta led 4-0 in 7th inning.
Braves have won eight of their last ten games.
— Red Sox brought 44-year old Rich Hill back to the majors; Hill has pitched for 13 different teams in his 20-year career. In his MLB debut, he came in to relieve Greg Maddux for the Cubs, that’s how long he’s been around.
— Famous birthdays, August 28th:
Lou Piniella, 81
Barbara Bach, 78
Ron Guidry, 74
Joel Youngblood, 73
John Long, 68
Shania Twain, 59
Anthony Weaver, 44
Jeff Green, 38
— Sometimes late at night, I watch re-runs of Hollywood Squares, the great game show; it baffles me why someone would start a game of tic-tac-toe and not try to win the center square first, but I’m thinking less than half the games start with the center square being won/lost.

Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings……..
— White Sox are the worst baseball team in the last 100 years; Tuesday night, their best pitcher is pitching, a young guy (Garrett Crochet) whose innings they’re trying to limit, because he has already thrown 128 innings this year— he’s thrown a TOTAL of 73 IP in the previous FOUR years combined, so he is at risk of injury, according to analytics people.
So Tuesday night, Crochet throws four pitches and it starts raining and never stops; the game is suspended until Wednesday. I’m thinking there is no way they let Crochet warm up again and pitch Wednesday, which is good news for Texas, the team they’re playing.
— Royals 6, Guardians 1
Kansas City wins first three games in series; the teams are tied for first in AL Central.
Royals are 23-13 since All-Star break; they were 56-106 last year.
— A’s 5, Reds 4
When I see the A’s winning in Cincinnati, I think of October 22, 1972, my all-time favorite day as a sports fan.
A’s beat the Reds in Game 7 of the World Series
Rams won on a 54-yard field goal on the last play of the game, also against Cincinnati.
12-year old me was very happy that day.
— Orioles 3, Dodgers 2
O’Hearn, Urias homered for Baltimore.
Dodgers 1B Freddie Freeman (broken finger) sat this game out.
— Rays 3, Mariners 2
Game was scoreless after five innings.
Jeffrey Springs tossed five shutout IP for Tampa Bay. ‘
Siri, Diaz homered for the Rays.
— Braves 8, Twins 6 (10)
Atlanta led 4-0 in 7th inning.
Braves have won eight of their last ten games.
— Red Sox brought 44-year old Rich Hill back to the majors; Hill has pitched for 13 different teams in his 20-year career. In his MLB debut, he came in to relieve Greg Maddux for the Cubs, that’s how long he’s been around.

— Sometimes late at night, I watch re-runs of Hollywood Squares, the great game show; it baffles me why someone would start a game of tic-tac-toe and not try to win the center square first, but I’m thinking less than half the games start with the center square being won/lost.
