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

Thursday’s Den: Some of my favorite sports movies…….​

1) American Underdog— The true/unlikely story of Hall of Fame quarterback Kurt Warner, who went from stocking shelves at an Iowa supermarket to winning a Super Bowl with the Rams.
Co-stars Dennis Quaid, Bruce McGill, Anna Paquin helped make this an excellent movie.

2) Moneyball— Beginning isn’t very good, the end sucks, but I’m an A’s fan and this movie is about how the 2003 A’s overcame a small payroll to win 20 games in a row and make their unlikely run to the playoffs.
Only really bad thing about this movie is they made skipper Art Howe look like a bad manager, and he was anything but— you don’t win 20 games in a row by accident.

3) Blue Chips— Nick Nolte is a college basketball coach who used to win a lot; in order to start winning again, he has to decide whether to break the recruiting rules or not.
Bob Cousy is the AD; Shaquille O’Neal, Penny Hardaway are two of the recruits. Lot of cameos from basketball people; Jerry Tarkanian, Jim Boeheim, Rick Pitino, Dick Vitale.

4) Invincible— True story about Vince Papale, a 30-year old bartender who tries out for the 1976 Philadelphia Eagles and makes the squad as a special teams player.

5) Fast Break— Gabe Kaplan manages a New York City deli until he applies for a job as a college basketball coach in Nevada. Bernard King, Michael Warren are two of his players; another one is a girl disguised as a guy.

6) Any Given Sunday— Al Pacino is a pro football coach whose team is struggling; Cameron Diaz is the owner, Dennis Quaid, Jamie Foxx are two of the QB’s.
Miami Sharks play against four teams in the movie, all coached by NFL Hall of Famers.
The Sharks’ third QB was played by Pat O’Hara, who in real life was a backup QB at USC, played some in the Arena League, has been a consultant on 10 football-related movies and to this day, is an assistant coach with the Tennessee Titans.

— Famous birthdays, May 2nd:
Engelbert Humperdinck, 88
Jamaal Wilkes, 71
Keith Moreland, 70
Dwayne Johnson, 52
Pat McAfee, 37
Paul George, 34
Ian Anderson, 26

7) For Love of the Game— Kevin Costner is a star pitcher for the Tigers who is at the end of his career; he has flashbacks throughout his last game.
Detroit’s manager in this movie is JK Simmons, who is a Tigers fan in real life; New York’s manager is the late Augie Garrido, one of the all-time great college baseball coaches.

8) One on One— Robby Benson is a hotshot high school basketball player who gets recruited by a big-time college team, then finds himself in over his head.

9) Bull Durham— Costner is a minor league catcher who is brought in to mentor a hot-shot pitching prospect. Robert Wuhl is the pitching coach, Susan Sarandon mentors the prospect off the field.

10) Draft Day— Costner does lot of sports movies; he is GM of the Cleveland Browns in this one, Denis Leary is the Browns’ coach.
The year this movie came out, NFL pushed back the draft so the movie could be promoted more, but Radio City Music Hall wasn’t available for the later date, which is why they started moving the draft around the country. Sometimes great ideas happen by accident.

11) Major League— Bob Uecker should’ve won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Indians’ radio announcer Harry Doyle.

12) He Got Game— Underrated film about college basketball recruiting, with Ray Allen playing a recruit who can get his father out of state prison if he plays ball for the college that a political bigshot wants him to.

13) Rocky— The original was a true classic; a journeyman boxer gets a chance to fight for the heavyweight title, and makes the most of it. 40 years later, tourists who come to Philadelphia still pose for pictures near the Rocky statue.

14) Friday Night Lights— Billy Bob Thornton is a high school football coach in west Texas, where they take high school football very seriously.

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

Saturday’s Den: Random stuff with the weekend here…….​

— Saturday is May 4th; Miami Marlins have already tanked this season; they traded 2B Luis Arraez to San Diego Friday, for three outfield prospects and a relief pitcher.
Arraez hit .354 last year, is hitting .299 this year.
As for the four guys Miami got:
a) one guy is hitting .176 in the hitter-friendly AA Texas League.
b) another guy is hitting .237 in Class A ball
c) third guy is hitting .292 in the Texas League.
d) relief pitcher has allowed 7 runs in 12.1 IP for the AA team.
As an A’s fan, I can testify that this is depressing for Marlin fans, just quitting this early in the season. The prospect book I buy every year has the three OFs listed as the Padres’ #’s 7-11-17 prospects; the relief pitcher isn’t listed in the book.

— I pay a decent amount of $$$ for MLB.TV, so I can watch any baseball game I want, but part of the deal is the two New York teams get blacked out, until 90 minutes after their games end, plus on Fridays, Apple TV has two games which you can’t watch, unless you have that streaming service.
So, of the seven 7:00 games on Friday’s card, I could only watch three of them live. No bueno.

— Wednesday night in Nashville, they drew 7,568 fans for a minor league games with Norfolk against the host Nashville Sounds.
Meanwhile, the Rockies-Marlins major league game drew 7,171 fans; the Pirates-A’s game drew 4,679 fans in Oakland.
In the next few years, MLB is going to expand to 32 teams; Nashville is a pretty good bet to get one of the two new teams.

— Thursday night, the Knicks eliminated the 76ers from the NBA playoffs, winning Game 6 in a close 118-115 game.
Tobias Harris played 29:00 for Philly; in those 29:00, he was 0-2 from the floor, didn’t score; he had 4 rebounds, 3 assists. 76ers were minus-10 in his 29:00 on the floor, not exactly the kind of production you’d like from a guy making $37M a year.

— Lakers fired coach Darwin Ham Friday, after Denver ousted LA from the playoffs; in his two years coaching the Lakers, Ham had a 90-74 regular season record, 9-12 in playoffs; Lakers won the in-season tournament, which gets exposed for what it is, a meaningless mid-season event.
The whole coaching staff was told to take a hike after the Lakers failed to protect a double-digit lead in all four of their losses to Denver in the series.

— 78 players were invited to the NBA Draft Combine, where players work out for teams; there are only 58 players drafted

— Kentucky Derby is Saturday; the five longest shot to win the Derby:
91-1: Donerail, 1913
80-1: Rich Strike, 2022
65-1: Country House, 2019
50-1: Mine That Bird, 2009
50-1: Giacomo, 2005

— Miami Dolphins signed WR Odell Beckham Jr for one year, $3M, that with incentives, could get as high as $8.25M.

— Famous birthdays for May 4th:
George Will, 83
Rene Lachemann, 79
Butch Beard, 77
Ken Oberkfell, 68
Rick Leach, 67
Cleveland Gary, 58
Dawn Staley, 54
Ben Grieve, 48
Rory McIlroy, 35

— Baseball injuries:
Pirates activated C Yasmani Grandal, sent Henry Davis to AAA
Rangers put P Nathan Eovaldi (leg strain) on IL.

— Dodgers 4, Braves 3 (11)
Andy Pages’ 4th hit of the game was a walk-off single in the 11th inning.

— Bronx 2, Tigers 1
Stanton tied game with a 9th-inning double; Rizzo won it with a walk-off single. New York has scored a total of eight runs in its last five games.

— A’s 3, Marlins 1
Sears tossed 6.1 scoreless IP, as the A’s won their 5th game in a row.
Rooker homered for Oakland.

— Brewers 3, Cubs 1
Milwaukee scored 3 runs in 8th, as Craig Counsell lost to his old team.

— There were four games Friday that were scoreless after five innings; are the baseballs dead or something? Offense seems to be way down so far this season.

— Rays 10, Mets 8
DeLuca had 3 RBI in his first game this season, coming off a hand injury.
Quintana got racked for 10 hits, 8 runs in 2.2 IP.

— If the playoffs started today (they don’t):
NL: Phillies, Brewers, Dodgers. Wild Cards: Braves, Cubs, (NYM-Cin-Wsh)
AL: Orioles, Guardians, Mariners. Wild Cards: Bronx, Royals, Twins
