Monday’s quiz
Terry Francona won two World Series in eight years managing the Red Sox; who replaced him as manager in Boston?
Sunday’s quiz
In Magnum PI, when Tom Selleck’s character goes undercover as the backup QB of an NFL team, he wears number 16.
Saturday’s quiz
Seven major league baseball teams play their home games in a domed stadium.
************************************************** *
Monday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports weekend…….
— Kirk Saarloos spent seven years in the major leagues, pitching for three different teams; he helped the A’s make the 2006 playoffs.
These days, Saarloos is the baseball coach at TCU; his Horned Frogs made the College World Series this weekend. TCU set back-to-back attendance records on consecutive nights — 8,812 fans on Friday and 8,994 on Saturday.
This is the sixth time since 2010 that TCU has made the College World Series, but the first time under coach Saarloos.
— Wake Forest is also going to the College World Series; they’re going for the first time since 1955, when they won the national title.
— Canadian golfer Nick Taylor drained a 72-foot eagle putt on the 4th playoff hole Sunday; he won the Canadian Open, the first Canadian to win his home tournament since Pat Fletcher in 1954. Taylor banked $1.62M for the win, plus he’ll probably never have to buy a drink in Canada again.
— When you think about the argument about who the best basketball player ever is, remember that Michael Jordan played all 82 games in a season nine times. No load management for him.
Remember that they outlawed the dunk in college basketball because of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Milwaukee won an NBA title in their third year of existence, Kareem’s 2nd NBA season.
Remember that at age 38, after 20 years in the NBA, Lebron James can still carry his team deep into the playoffs. Someday before he retires, one of his teammates will be his son.
Those three guys are the three best players ever, in whatever order you choose.
— Happy 72nd birthday to Dan Fouts, one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, maybe the best quarterback of the Super Bowl era who never got to play in a Super Bowl.
Fouts passed for 43,040 yards, 254 TD’s in a tremendous 15-year career, all played with the Chargers. Saw him play in a scrimmage once against the Rams in Anaheim Stadium; it was like watching God throw a football, he was that good.
Happy birthday, sir.
— Trevor Bauer is pitching in Japan these days; last I looked, he was 3-2, 4.75 in six starts, giving up 10 home runs in 36 IP.
— A’s 8, Brewers 6— After starting the season 12-50, Oakland has won five games in a row; they knocked the Pirates out of first place Wednesday, then put them back in first place by sweeping the Brewers in Miller Park this weekend.
— Rockies 5, Padres 4
Nolan Jones hit a walk-off homer after a 9th inning rain delay.
30 years ago, in the Rockies’ first-ever season, they drew over 4,400,000 fans, still an MLB record, while playing home games in Mile High Stadium.
— Pirates 2, Mets 1
Andrew McCutchen got his 2,000th career hit.
Mets lost for the eighth time in nine games.
— Reds 4, Cardinals 3— Cincinnati is 5-2 since they brought up Elly De La Cruz up from the minor leagues; what took them so long? The guy is 8-22, with 7 runs scored, 4 RBI in his first seven MLB games (plus, three stolen bases).
— Boston 3, New York 2 (10)— Bronx went 2-4 on this homestand with Aaron Judge sidelined with a foot injury; they scored 17 runs in those six games.
Red Sox are 2-3 in their last five games, scoring a total of 12 runs in those five games.
— Blue Jays 7, Twins 6
Toronto trailed 6-1 in fifth inning; they won game with three runs in 8th inning.
— Giants 13, Cubs 3
This was a terrible game; Giants made four errors, still won by 10 runs.
Giants SS Brandon Crawford pitched the last inning, with SF ahead by 10 runs.
Why is a big market team like the Cubs this bad (28-37)?
— Arizona 7, Detroit 5
Tigers led 5-2 early; Arizona won game with four runs in ninth inning.
Diamondbacks have a 3.5-game lead in the NL West.
— If the baseball playoffs started today (they do not):
NL Braves, Pirates, Arizona. Wild Cards: Dodgers-Marlins-Brewers
AL Rays, Twins, Rangers. Wild Cards: Orioles-New York-Astros

Tuesday’s Den: Nobody asked me, but…….
— Denver 94, Miami 89
For first time ever, Nuggets are NBA champions.
Nikola Jokic is the first center since Shaquille O’Neal in 2002 to lead his team in scoring while winning a championship.
Nuggets rookie Christian Braun is the fifth player in history to win NBA and NCAA titles in back-to-back years (won in 2022 with Kansas)
Stan Kroenke owns the Nuggets; he also owns the LA Rams and the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche. In the last 18 months, all three teams have won a championship.
— There are still 10 NBA teams that haven’t won a championship.
— Top payrolls in MLB this season, and the teams’ records:
$344,875,864— Mets 31-35

243,095,331— Phillies 32-34
228,056,364— LA Dodgers 37-29

59,630,474— A’s 18-50
66,424,863— Orioles 41-24
75,336,614— Pirates 34-30
76,932,532— Tampa Bay 48-21
90,133,639— Guardians 31-34
92,569,087— Cincinnati 31-35
— Angels signed 38-year old Daniel Murphy to a minor league deal; he last played in the majors in 2020, but retired after hitting .236 for Colorado. A .296 lifetime hitter, Murphy hit .347 for Washington in 2016; he hit 90 doubles for the Nationals in 2016-17.
— Blue Jays/Diamondbacks are only MLB teams that haven’t been shut out this season.
— A’s 4, Tampa Bay 3— Oakland has now won six games in a row. Ken Waldichuk tossed three scoreless innings to notch his first save.
— Tigers 6, Braves 5 (10)— Detroit trailed 5-1 in 8th inning; they tied game with three runs in the ninth, then won it on a Torkelson single in the 10th.
— Rockies 4, Red Sox 3 (10)— Colorado scored twice in 10th inning, on a bases loaded walk, then an error.
— Arizona 9, Phillies 8— Top three guys in the Diamondbacks’ lineup went 7-12, with seven runs scored.
— Angels 9, Rangers 6 (12)— Shohei Ohtani homered twice, now has 20 dingers this season. Halos have won seven of their last eight games.
— Looking at the pointspreads for Denver Bronco games this coming season; the spread in 15 of their 17 games is 4 points or less. They’re +7 at Kansas City, +6.5 at Buffalo.
— Juan Soto didn’t walk last week; after drawing 56 walks in his first 59 games this season, he didn’t draw any walks last week, going 7-27 in six games— he was 5-5 vs Seattle Wednesday, 2-22 in the other five games.
— Movie of the Day: Lucky You (2007)— A hotshot poker player tries to win a tournament in Las Vegas, but is fighting a losing battle with his personal problems. Eric Bana plays the hotshot gambler; Robert Duvall is his father, a far more accomplished pro poker player.
Drew Barrymore and Debra Messing are also in the movie, as well as a lot of pro poker players you’ll recognize from TV. Robert Downey Jr has a cameo; there are a couple of degenerate gamblers who appear throughout the movie to add comic relief.
— Houston Cougars boosted basketball coach Kelvin Sampson’s salary to $5M a year; Houston and Gonzaga are the only teams in the country that have been in the Sweet 16 of the last four NCAA tournaments.
— Most plays of 30+ yards last season:
33— San Francisco
32— Kansas City

Quote of the Day
“It was challenging, more because we were fighting two things. James (Harden) is so good at playing one way, and the way I believe you have to play to win in some ways is different, because it’s a lot of giving up the ball, moving the ball, coming back to the ball……..it would have been interesting if I would have had him younger and he could have done that more, coming off of dribble handoffs, coming down the hill.”
Former 76ers coach Doc Rivers
Tuesday’s quiz
Julius Erving was a great basketball player; what was the first professional team he played for?
Tuesday’s quiz

Arizona, Texas, Baltimore, both New York teams
Monday’s quiz
Terry Francona won two World Series in eight years managing the Red Sox; Bobby Valentine replaced him as manager in Boston.
************************************************** ******
Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings……..
— Vegas 9, Florida 3— Golden Knights win the Stanley Cup, in only their 6th year as an NHL franchise. Jonathan Marchessault won the Conn Smythe Trophy as MVP of the playoffs.
— Meanwhile, the A’s drew 27.759 fans in Oakland for their 2-1 win over Tampa Bay, the A’s 7th win in a row.
Monday night, Rays-A’s drew 4,843 fans, but this game was an effort by loyal A’s fans to show the powers-that-be that Oakland will support a franchise that actually tries to win.
Earlier Tuesday, the Nevada Senate passed a $380M bill to help fund a new stadium for the A’s in Las Vegas.
Credit to manager Mark Kotsay and the players for keeping their noses to the grindstone after starting the season 12-50 amid all the distractions.
— Bronx 7, Mets 6— Mets and their $375M payroll have lost nine of their last ten games.
— New St John’s basketball coach Rick Pitino threw out the first pitch before this game.
— Rockies 7, Red Sox 6 (10)— Colorado won its third straight game, two extra inning games and a walk-off win. Elias D?az doubled/tripled, knocked in three runs— he’ll be playing in the All-Star Game next month.
— Twins 7, Brewers 5— Minnesota scored four runs in bottom of the 9th; Carlos Correa hit a walk-off homer. Both teams are 33-34.
— Angels 7, Rangers 3— Halos won eight of their last nine games; Mike Trout didn’t even play in this game. With the Angels in playoff contention, looks like they’ll be hanging on to Shohei Ohtani for the rest of this season.
Whether they can keep Ohtani in Anaheim long-term is another question.
— Phillies 15, Arizona 3— Streaky Phils have won eight of their last ten games.
— Monday night in Arizona, Phillies’ C JT Realmuto did all this:
He hit for the cycle
He drew a walk
He scored 3+ runs
He drove in 3+ runs.
22nd time a major league player did all that, but the first time his team lost the game.
— Last time a Phillies player had hit for the cycle was David Bell back in 2004, against the Montreal Expos. Bell is now manager of the Cincinnati Reds.
— Diamondbacks’ OF Lourdes Gurriel was born in Cuba and defected to this country. with his older brother Yuli in 2016; last month, he became an American citizen, so congrats to him on that.
— Nikola Jokic was the 41st pick of the 2014 NBA Draft; when he was taken, ESPN didn’t show it— they were in a Taco Bell commercial. You just saw his name on the crawl on the bottom of the screen.
— NBA has had five different champs the last five years:
Nuggets, Warriors, Bucks, Lakers, Raptors
— Buffalo Bills have a problem with star WR Stefon Diggs, who isn’t participating in the team’s mandatory mini-camp this week. Reading between the lines, it seems to be a football issue and not a money issue, seeing as how………
Since 2020, Buffalo has paid Diggs $78,919,383 in cash, #3 for any WR in the NFL. You make that much money playing for a winning team, you damn well better be happy, but Diggs seems to have an issue with how he is used in the Bills’ offense.
QB Josh Allen took some of the blame this week; losing OC Brian Daboll to the Giants last year has hurt the Buffalo offense, but at some point, just be glad you’re really rich and play ball.
