Quote of the Day
“……..hopefully I’m going to play here soon. Coming out of the workouts, it’s been great every day. It’s getting better. It’s very promising to start rotational stuff. I’ll do that for a couple days in the weight room and if that goes well, I’ll start swinging.”
Mike Trout

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

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

13) Basketball great Bill Russell passed away this weekend, at age 88.

— He played 13 years in the NBA, won 11 championships; he had more championship rings than fingers to put them on.
— In his 13-year career, he missed the NBA Finals once.
— He also won two national titles playing in college, at San Francisco.
— He won an Olympic gold medal, in 1956 in Australia.
— Russell played in 10 Game 7’s in the NBA playoffs; he played 488 of a possible 495 minutes in those games, and grabbed 29.3 rebounds/game.

When I posted my top 15 basketball players of all time, I had Russell on my first team, with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, Lebron James, Magic Johnson. I still believe that.

Russell did a lot of good work off the court too; it wasn’t easy to be in his position in the 50’s/60’s. I remember him working NBA games on TV after he retired; he had a great laugh.

RIP, sir.

12) Since 2016, Washington Redskins/Commanders have started 11 different QB’s, the most of any team in the NFL.

11) Today is August 1; Cleveland Browns have no idea who their quarterback will be in 41 days, when they open their season in Charlotte.

The decision of Deshaun Watson is expected to come down Monday, which should be a very interesting thing. If Watson gets a full year, do they trade for Jimmy Garoppolo?

10) Jacksonville Jaguars signed a kicker named Elliott Fry, who has already spent time with eight other NFL teams. He is 3-4 on field goals, 5-6 on PATs in his NFL career. He also went 14-14 kicking FG’s for the Orlando Apollos in the AAF couple years ago.

9) Things I learned this week; if you own a golf course and you bury a dead relative near the first hole, it technically becomes a cemetery. Cemeteries aren’t taxed. Golf courses are taxed.

You can also charge people to view the gravesite.

Now, only a complete scumbag would do something like this, but it happens…….

8) August 1st and Mariners-Astros don’t play any more this season? Seems unusual for division rivals not to play in the last two months of the season.

7) Seattle ace Robbie Ray against the Astros this season:

3 starts, 14 runs allowed in 10.2 IP. No bueno.

6) Pittsburgh Pirates have only 12 wins from their starting pitchers this season, the fewest by any team in their first 100 games since at least 1906.

5) Rangers 5, Angels 2— Halos’ rookie Reid Detmers struck out 12 guys in 7 IP, also had an immaculate inning— striking out the side on nine pitches in the 2nd inning.

Detmers is the first pitcher since Mike Fiers in 2015 to throw a no-hitter and an immaculate inning in the same season. Weird thing is, Fiers was traded in between his immaculate inning and his no-hitter. He did those things for different teams.

Another oddity; Detmers was sent down to AAA in between his accomplishments.

Last pitcher to throw a no-hitter and an immaculate inning for the same team in the same year was Sandy Koufax, in 1964.

4) Trey Mancini was credited with an inside-the-park home run last week, in a day game vs Tampa Bay. He hit a normal fly ball to right field, the RF missed the ball— it hit him in the face and bounced 30-40 feet away to his left.

Here’s the thing: the RF had his sunglasses on top of his hat, instead of wearing them. This was an error all the way, a bad decision by the official scorer.

3) Pretty good field for the Myrtle Beach Invitational in November:

Colorado-UMass
Murray State-Texas A&M
Boise State-Charlotte
Loyola (Chi)-Tulsa

2) An “unnamed NFL assistant coach” was critical of Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes last week; it takes lot of balls to anonymously criticize one of the game’s best quarterbacks, without attaching your name to it.

Let us go to the numbers:

— five years in the NFL, Mahomes is 50-13 in regular season, 8-3 in playoff games.
— he won consecutive AFC title games, splitting two Super Bowls.
— 151 TD passes, 37 INT’s; pretty good numbers. Damn good.

Lot of really good QB’s don’t have eight playoff wins; Mahomes is only 26 years old.

Like I said, takes a lot of onions to criticize the guy, but if you do, you damn sure need to attach your name to it.

1) If the baseball playoffs started today (they do not):
NL: Mets-Brewers-Dodgers. Wild Cards: Atlanta, San Diego, Philadelphia
AL: New York-Minnesota-Houston Wild Cards: Toronto, Seattle, Tampa Bay

Dave Barry

Tuesday’s quiz
Which two NFL teams used to call St Louis home?

Monday’s quiz
Dick Vermeil won a Super Bowl coaching the Rams; he won a Rose Bowl coaching UCLA.

Sunday’s quiz
Sean Payton was a replacement player for the Chicago Bears during the 1987 players’ strike.

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

Tuesday’s Den: Nobody asked me, but……..

— Cleveland Browns’ QB Deshaun Watson got hit with a 6-game suspension Monday, so Jacoby Brissett will be the Browns’ QB when the season starts.

Cleveland plays division rival Baltimore in Week 7, Cincinnati in Week 8, the first two games Watson will be able to play.

Two sportsbooks posted Cleveland’s over/under win total at 9.5; another one posted 8.5.

— Baseball trading deadline is Tuesday at 6pm; there was activity Monday.

Milwaukee dealt closer Josh Hader to San Diego; in return they got closer Taylor Rogers, two minor league prospects and injury-plagued P Dinelson Lamet.

Brewers also got P Matt Bush from Texas, for two prospects.

Boston traded C Christian Vazquez to the Astros, for two minor leaguers.
Red Sox then traded P Jake Diekman to the White Sox, for C Reese McGuire.
Boston also acquired OF Tommy Pham from Cincinnati for a player to be named later.

Braves signed 3B Austin Riley to a 10-year, $212M deal; they also got P Jake Odorizzi from Houston (for P Will Smith) and acquired OF Robbie Grossman from Detroit.

There was a 3-way trade; don’t see lot of those:
Orioles got two minor leaguers
Astros got 1B Trey Mancini
Rays got OF Jose Siri

Orioles were 52-110 last year, are in contention this year, but traded Mancini anyway; that had to be a difficult decision.

Oakland purged two more players, trading P’s Frankie Montas, Lou Trivino to the Bronx, for four minor league prospects. Actually, JP Sears has a 2.05 ERA in 22 IP in the major leagues this season, starting twice in seven appearances.

— If you have a kid who is athletic, have him learn how to kick a football:
New England signed punter Jake Bailey to a 4-year, $13.5M deal.
Pittsburgh signed kicker Chris Boswell to a 4-year, $20M deal.

— It is 83 degrees as I type this; it’ll be colder in November when the Maui Classic is played, though it still might be 83 in Hawai’i. Here are the Maui Classic first round matchups:
Texas Tech-Creighton
Louisville-Arkansas
Ohio State-San Diego State
Cincinnati-Arizona

This is a good tournament.

— Hall of Fame ballplayer Stan Musial had 3,630 hits in his great career:
1,815 hits at home
1,815 hits on the road.

— When the Red Sox beat Milwaukee 7-2 Sunday, rookie P Josh Winckowski got the win; it was the only win for a Boston starting pitcher the whole month of July- they had been 0-15 in their previous 29 games.

Before Sunday, last time a Boston starter got the win was June 26 in Cleveland (Rich Hill).

— Pirates traded P’s Jose Quintana, Chris Stratton to St Louis, for two minor leaguers.

— Bronx acquired reliever Scott Effross from the Cubs; their bullpen needs help, even they win just about all their games.

— Monday was the 36th anniversary of my first-ever visit to Las Vegas; August 1, 1986.

Drove in from Los Angeles; there was a sign on the highway in the desert; “Turn your air conditioner off or your engine will overheat.”

It was 112 degrees when we got to our hotel, a Motel 6-type place across the street from Circus Circus. A dry heat, but 112 degrees is 112 degrees.

Walking into a casino for the first time at age 26, my head was spinning; went up to the window to bet on the Mets against the Montreal Expos— for some reason I remember Floyd Youmans was pitching for Montreal. Told the guy my bet, try to hand him my money and he smiles:

“Nice bet buddy, but the game started an hour ago”

I never set my watch back three hours when I flew to California. Whoops.

There was a store in Caeser’s Palace that had a hat of every major league and NFL team hanging on the wall; that is when/where my hat collection started.

We walked around a lot that day, despite the heat; Imperial Palace had a sportsbook where you could watch ballgames/horse races. I’m sitting there, 2.500 miles from home, watching races at Saratoga, which is 25 miles from my home. Brilliant.

Anyway, it was a lot to take in; we wound leaving at 4am, when it had cooled down to 99 degrees but I was hooked. What an awesome place.
