******************************************
2025 has been a cruddy sports year so far. Had some high hopes for the A’s this season- they actually spent some $$$ this winter, brought in Severino and Springs to bolster a rotation that was decent last year. From July 1st on last year, the A’s were over .500. There was hope.
Few weeks ago, the A’s were 22-20, playing home games in Sacramento, but the bottom has fallen out, in a big way. They’ve now lost 20 of their last 21 games. No bueno.
Their pitching is freakin’ terrible; bad pitching is like having a bad offensive line in football, you have no chance to win with bad pitching. None. Zero. Bupkis.
I’ve been an A’s fan since 1965, when I was five years old; I lived thru the 54-108 disaster in 1979, the 110-214 debacle in 2022-23, when the front office was blatantly not trying- that was really upsetting. In 1979 I was a college kid, had lot of other stuff to distract me, plus Rickey Henderson was a rookie that year.
A’s are supposed to move to Las Vegas in 2028; hopefully they’ll break ground on the new stadium sometime this summer. There is a nucleus of good position players to build around; Mark Kotsay seems like a good manager, but dammit, they need to start winning some games, just for their own mental health.
— Understood that no one will care about this, but my fantasy team sucks this year too, at least so far; after three good years in a row, my hitters have either been hurt or terrible. Haven’t won a game in a month; lot of close games, need Alex Bregman to get healthy.
So with the A’s in the trash can and the fantasy team bumbling, it hasn’t been a good month.
On to happier things………
— NBA commish Adam Silver announced that next winter, the NBA All-Star Game will be a new format, USA against the World. This is going to work.
My one concern is this: IT MIGHT WORK TOO WELL!!!!! Do you want a freakin’ All-Star Game to be highly competitive, where players bust their butts to win, and one of them might get hurt, which would be a disaster.
But give them credit for this: it’ll be a real basketball game, a competitive event.
— We mentioned yesterday how people were saying that the ball/strike challenge system might become a bargaining chip in the upcoming labor negotiations- yesterday there were thoughts that the system might not happen until 2027.
Wednesday, Commissioner Manfred said that he intends to submit a proposal to the league’s competition committee this offseason that would implement the automated ball-strike challenge system for Opening Day 2026, which is an excellent thing.
The challenge system worked very well in spring training this year; it’ll make the game a lot more interesting, in several ways.
— Wednesday night, Orioles’ play-by-play guy (not Kevin Brown, not sure who it was) was openly promoting fans to “stuff the ballot box” for Oriole players to play in the All-Star Game.
He sounded like a 10-year old; the Orioles are having a cruddy year, they don’t deserve to have multiple guys in the All-Star Game.
Here’s a novel idea; vote for the best players.
— Best teams in one-run games:
Padres 13-6
Angels 10-4
Phillies 11-5
Tigers 12-6
Cubs 9-4
Royals 12-8
Mariners 12-8
— Worst teams in one-run games:

Torry Holt, 49
Ryan Mallett, 37
Andrew Heaney, 34
Royce O’Neale, 32
Joe Ryan, 29
Sam Darnold, 28
— Mets 6, Dodgers 1
Pete Alonso homered twice, knocked in five runs.
Griffin Canning is very quietly 6-2, 2.90 this season.
— Giants 6, Padres 5
San Diego led 5-0 in the fifth inning.
Giants scored three runs in the bottom of the 7th.
This was first time in 17 games that San Francisco scored more than four runs.
— Tigers 5, White Sox 4- Chicago used an opener in this game; the first four Detroit hitters reached base, but the White Sox left their starter in to face NINE BATTERS, by which time they were down 4-0. Are we trying here?
Openers only have to face three hitters; this was managing malpractice.
— Nationals 2, Cubs 0
Gore/Boyd had an old fashioned pitchers’ duel; game was 0-0 after six.
Amed Rosario broke the tie with a 7th inning home run.
— Diamondbacks 2, Braves 1
Merrill Kelly allowed one hit, no runs in seven IP.
Atlanta is 27-33, six games out of a Wild Card spot.
— Rockies 3, Marlins 2
Colorado swept the 3-game series, their first series win 23 tries.
Kyle Freeland threw 6.1 IP, allowed two unearned runs.
— Red Sox 11, Angels 9
Ceddanne Rafaela hit a walk-off homer for Boston.
Angels led 7-5 in the second inning.
— If the baseball playoffs started today: (they don’t):
NL: Mets, Cubs, Dodgers. Wild Cards: Phillies, Padres, Cardinals
AL: New York, Astros, Tigers, Wild Cards: Guardians, Twins, Mariners.
Morning routine for all-day energy:
— drink 16 ounces of water right after you wake up.
— get 10 minutes of sunlight outdoors.
— Do five minutes of stretching/yoga
— Write three gratitude journal entries.
— Avoid checking e-mails first thing.

From July 1st on last year, the A’s were over .500. There was hope.
Few weeks ago, the A’s were 22-20, playing home games in Sacramento, but the bottom has fallen out, in a big way. They’ve now lost 20 of their last 21 games. No bueno.
Their pitching is freakin’ terrible; bad pitching is like having a bad offensive line in football, you have no chance to win with bad pitching. None. Zero. Bupkis.
I’ve been an A’s fan since 1965, when I was five years old; I lived thru the 54-108 disaster in 1979, the 110-214 debacle in 2022-23, when the front office was blatantly not trying- that was really upsetting. In 1979 I was a college kid, had lot of other stuff to distract me, plus Rickey Henderson was a rookie that year.
A’s are supposed to move to Las Vegas in 2028; hopefully they’ll break ground on the new stadium sometime this summer. There is a nucleus of good position players to build around; Mark Kotsay seems like a good manager, but dammit, they need to start winning some games, just for their own mental health.
— Understood that no one will care about this, but my fantasy team sucks this year too, at least so far; after three good years in a row, my hitters have either been hurt or terrible. Haven’t won a game in a month; lot of close games, need Alex Bregman to get healthy.
So with the A’s in the trash can and the fantasy team bumbling, it hasn’t been a good month.
On to happier things………
— NBA commish Adam Silver announced that next winter, the NBA All-Star Game will be a new format, USA against the World. This is going to work.
My one concern is this: IT MIGHT WORK TOO WELL!!!!! Do you want a freakin’ All-Star Game to be highly competitive, where players bust their butts to win, and one of them might get hurt, which would be a disaster.
But give them credit for this: it’ll be a real basketball game, a competitive event.
— We mentioned yesterday how people were saying that the ball/strike challenge system might become a bargaining chip in the upcoming labor negotiations- yesterday there were thoughts that the system might not happen until 2027.
Wednesday, Commissioner Manfred said that he intends to submit a proposal to the league’s competition committee this offseason that would implement the automated ball-strike challenge system for Opening Day 2026, which is an excellent thing.
The challenge system worked very well in spring training this year; it’ll make the game a lot more interesting, in several ways.
— Wednesday night, Orioles’ play-by-play guy (not Kevin Brown, not sure who it was) was openly promoting fans to “stuff the ballot box” for Oriole players to play in the All-Star Game.
He sounded like a 10-year old; the Orioles are having a cruddy year, they don’t deserve to have multiple guys in the All-Star Game.
Here’s a novel idea; vote for the best players.
— Best teams in one-run games:
Padres 13-6
Angels 10-4
Phillies 11-5
Tigers 12-6
Cubs 9-4
Royals 12-8
Mariners 12-8
— Worst teams in one-run games:
White Sox 3-16
Red Sox 6-17
Braves 9-15
Reds 5-10
Rockies 6-11
— Famous birthdays, June 5th:
Jeff Garlin, 63
Bill Spiers, 59
Mark Wahlberg, 54
Zydrunas Ilgauskas, 50
Torry Holt, 49
Ryan Mallett, 37
Andrew Heaney, 34
Royce O’Neale, 32
Joe Ryan, 29
Sam Darnold, 28
— Mets 6, Dodgers 1
Pete Alonso homered twice, knocked in five runs.
Griffin Canning is very quietly 6-2, 2.90 this season.
— Giants 6, Padres 5
San Diego led 5-0 in the fifth inning.
Giants scored three runs in the bottom of the 7th.
This was first time in 17 games that San Francisco scored more than four runs.
— Tigers 5, White Sox 4- Chicago used an opener in this game; the first four Detroit hitters reached base, but the White Sox left their starter in to face NINE BATTERS, by which time they were down 4-0. Are we trying here?
Openers only have to face three hitters; this was managing malpractice.
— Nationals 2, Cubs 0
Gore/Boyd had an old fashioned pitchers’ duel; game was 0-0 after six.
Amed Rosario broke the tie with a 7th inning home run.
— Diamondbacks 2, Braves 1
Merrill Kelly allowed one hit, no runs in seven IP.
Atlanta is 27-33, six games out of a Wild Card spot.
— Rockies 3, Marlins 2
Colorado swept the 3-game series, their first series win 23 tries.
Kyle Freeland threw 6.1 IP, allowed two unearned runs.
— Red Sox 11, Angels 9
Ceddanne Rafaela hit a walk-off homer for Boston.
Angels led 7-5 in the second inning.
— If the baseball playoffs started today: (they don’t):
NL: Mets, Cubs, Dodgers. Wild Cards: Phillies, Padres, Cardinals
AL: New York, Astros, Tigers, Wild Cards: Guardians, Twins, Mariners.

Quote of the Day
“How you lose doesn’t really matter. Obviously it sucks — last-second shot, the energy in the arena and stuff like that. But we lost at the end of the day. We lost Game 1. We’ve lost Game 1 before. On the other side of that, we came out a better team. That’s our goal.”
Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander
Saturday’s quiz
Where did Indiana Pacers’ star Tyrese Haliburton play his college basketball?
Friday’s quiz
Dodgers left Brooklyn and started playing in Los Angeles in 1958.
Thursday’s quiz
Seattle SuperSonics moved to Oklahoma City and become the Thunder in 2008.
***************************************************************
Saturday’s Den: Random stuff with the weeknd here……..
— Panthers 5, Oilers 4, 2OT
Brad Marchand scored on a breakaway 8:05 into the second overtime to even this series 1-1.
First two games of the series both went to overtime.
Teams were a combined 2-10 on power plays; Florida had a shorthanded goal.
Game 4 is Monday night in Florida.
— Major League Baseball does a cruddy job of marketing its product; I spend a decent amount of $$$ on MLB.TV, which is a pretty good deal except for one thing. Can’t watch New York teams play live; have to wait until 90 minutes after the game ends.
Mets are out west this week; couldn’t watch the replay of two of their games in Dodger Stadium this week until 3am. Even for me, that’s too damn late.
Lose the blackouts; stop being greedy bastards. Let people watch the games. When you have a really good product, let people see it.
— Was surprised the other night when Mets TV analyst Keith Hernandez said he’s never seen Major League, the great baseball movie. Hernandez talks about TV/movies a decent amount during his TV work, was surprised he’s never sen a movie that came in 1989, especially with Bob Uecker, Steve Yeager in it.
— A’s 5, Orioles 4
Mason Miller got the last five outs for his 13th save; he escaped a bases loaded, one-out jam in the 8th inning. Tremendous save.
Just like the old days; a closer getting more than three outs to earn a save.
A’s CF Denzel Clarke made a great, great catch in the 4th inning, running full speed into the fence in left-center field after he caught the ball. Clarke left the game a while later, possibly with a concussion.
— In 2012, NFL’s Washington Redskins drafted QB’s Robert Griffin III, Kirk Cousins in the same year, Griffin in the first round, Cousins in the 4th round. Mike Shanahan was the coach; they went 10-6 with rookie Griffin starting, losing 24-14 to Seattle in the playoffs.
That Washington team had a tremendous coaching staff; in addition to Mike Shanahan, who had previously won two Super Bowls with the Broncos, they had these current head coaches as assistants:
Sean McVay
Kyle Shanahan
Matt LaFleur
Mike McDaniel
— Mike Shanahan was 178-144 as an NFL head coach; he is known mainly for the passing attack John Elway used to win two Super Bowls, but Shanahan sept two years early in his career as an assistant coach for Barry Switzer’s Oklahoma Sooners, who were famous for running an offense where they rarely threw the ball. Wishbone offense teams ran the ball……a lot.
— Read on the Interweb this week that North Carolina’s basketball team will have a payroll of $14M this coming season, that’s MILLION, with an M. It isn’t college basketball anymore, it is minor league basketball, where some kids prefer getting paid to pay in college rather than make less money in the G League.
— Famous birthdays, June 7th:
Cazzie Russell, 81
Don Money, 78
Liam Neeson, 73
Jim Burt, 66
Terrell Buckley, 54
Allen Iverson, 50
Kellen Clemens, 42
Michael Cera, 37
Jordan Clarkson, 33
— Jesus Luzardo pitches for the Phillies, and is also on my fantasy team. That situation took a turn for the worse this week.
First 11 starts this year, he allowed a TOTAL of 16 earned runs. Tremendous.
Last two starts, he’s given up 20 earned runs in 5.1 IP. 20 runs in five innings.

Quote of the Day
“How you lose doesn’t really matter. Obviously it sucks — last-second shot, the energy in the arena and stuff like that. But we lost at the end of the day. We lost Game 1. We’ve lost Game 1 before. On the other side of that, we came out a better team. That’s our goal.”

Saturday’s Den: Random stuff with the weeknd here……..
— Panthers 5, Oilers 4, 2OT
Brad Marchand scored on a breakaway 8:05 into the second overtime to even this series 1-1.
First two games of the series both went to overtime.
Teams were a combined 2-10 on power plays; Florida had a shorthanded goal.
Game 4 is Monday night in Florida.
— Major League Baseball does a cruddy job of marketing its product; I spend a decent amount of $$$ on MLB.TV, which is a pretty good deal except for one thing. Can’t watch New York teams play live; have to wait until 90 minutes after the game ends.
Mets are out west this week; couldn’t watch the replay of two of their games in Dodger Stadium this week until 3am. Even for me, that’s too damn late.
Lose the blackouts; stop being greedy bastards. Let people watch the games. When you have a really good product, let people see it.
— Was surprised the other night when Mets TV analyst Keith Hernandez said he’s never seen Major League, the great baseball movie. Hernandez talks about TV/movies a decent amount during his TV work, was surprised he’s never sen a movie that came in 1989, especially with Bob Uecker, Steve Yeager in it.
— A’s 5, Orioles 4
Mason Miller got the last five outs for his 13th save; he escaped a bases loaded, one-out jam in the 8th inning. Tremendous save.
Just like the old days; a closer getting more than three outs to earn a save.
A’s CF Denzel Clarke made a great, great catch in the 4th inning, running full speed into the fence in left-center field after he caught the ball. Clarke left the game a while later, possibly with a concussion.
— In 2012, NFL’s Washington Redskins drafted QB’s Robert Griffin III, Kirk Cousins in the same year, Griffin in the first round, Cousins in the 4th round. Mike Shanahan was the coach; they went 10-6 with rookie Griffin starting, losing 24-14 to Seattle in the playoffs.
That Washington team had a tremendous coaching staff; in addition to Mike Shanahan, who had previously won two Super Bowls with the Broncos, they had these current head coaches as assistants:
Sean McVay
Kyle Shanahan
Matt LaFleur
Mike McDaniel
— Mike Shanahan was 178-144 as an NFL head coach; he is known mainly for the passing attack John Elway used to win two Super Bowls, but Shanahan sept two years early in his career as an assistant coach for Barry Switzer’s Oklahoma Sooners, who were famous for running an offense where they rarely threw the ball. Wishbone offense teams ran the ball……a lot.
— Read on the Interweb this week that North Carolina’s basketball team will have a payroll of $14M this coming season, that’s MILLION, with an M. It isn’t college basketball anymore, it is minor league basketball, where some kids prefer getting paid to pay in college rather than make less money in the G League.
— Famous birthdays, June 7th:
Cazzie Russell, 81

Allen Iverson, 50
Kellen Clemens, 42
Michael Cera, 37
Jordan Clarkson, 33
— Jesus Luzardo pitches for the Phillies, and is also on my fantasy team. That situation took a turn for the worse this week.
First 11 starts this year, he allowed a TOTAL of 16 earned runs. Tremendous.
Last two starts, he’s given up 20 earned runs in 5.1 IP. 20 runs in five innings.
Is he tipping his pitches? This was the most runs a pitcher has ever given up in consecutive starts. No bueno.
