Quote of the Day

Lebron James

Thursday’s quiz
Where did Shaquille O’Neal play his college basketball?

Wednesday’s quiz
Philip Seymour Hoffman played A’s manager Art Howe in Moneyball.

Tuesday’s quiz
Lou Piniella was manager of the Seattle Mariners, last time they made the playoffs, in 2001.

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

Thursday’s Den: Happy Opening Day…….

13) Two Opening Day games were already postponed until Friday by weather; Boston-New York, Seattle-Minnesota.

12) Cincinnati Reds released OF Shogo Akiyama, eating $8M in process; Akiyama hit .224 for the Reds, with no homers and 21 RBIs in 142 games.

11) Cleveland Guardians signed 3B Jose Ramirez to a 5-year, $124M contract extension.

10) I said the other day the that #7-seed UConn in 2014 was the lowest-seeded team to win the national title in basketball; the 1985 Villanova Wildcats were a #8-seed- they upset Georgetown to win the national title that year.

Since today is Opening Day of baseball season, here is my starting nine of baseball movies:
9) League of Their Own— Tom Hanks manages a team in a female professional baseball league, with Madonna as an outfielder, Geena Davis as the catcher.

Janet Jones is a pitcher for Racine; she is now better known as Mrs Wayne Gretzky. Jon Lovitz is great as a scout for the league. David L Lander is an announcer; he is best known for playing Squiggy in the old Laverne & Shirley TV show.

8) Trouble With the Curve— Clint Eastwood is an aging baseball scout whose old-school ways are at odds with modern thinking. Justin Timberlake, John Goodman, Amy Adams are also in this underrated movie.

7) Bad News Bears— Walter Matthau is a Little League coach in California who turns his team around by recruiting an old girlfriend’s daughter to be his team’s pitcher. Tatum O’Neal plays the pitcher; in real-life, her half-brother is Patrick O’Neal, who these days does pregame shows for the Angels and the Anaheim Ducks.

6) The Rookie— True story of a high school baseball coach in Texas who tells his team he’ll try out for the major leagues if the team makes the playoffs. The team makes the playoffs and the coach winds up in the majors; story would be a little sketchy, except it is true.

5) The Natural— An older ballplayer comes out of nowhere to help a struggling team make the playoffs. Robert Redford plays Roy Hobbs; Wilford Brimley is great as the manager of the New York Knights. Movie was filmed in Buffalo, where the Bills used to play before they built Rich Stadium.

4) Little Big League— 12-year old kid inherits the Minnesota Twins after his grandfather dies; he then names himself the manager. Shaky premise but a good movie, with several big leaguers in it.

Ashley Crow plays the kid’s mom; in real life, her son is Pete Crow-Armstrong, a first round pick of the Mets in 2020— he is now in the Cubs’ farm system.

T3) Bull Durham— Susan Sarandon is a baseball groupie who has an affair with one player every season; when this movie was made a long time ago, the Durham Bulls were a Class A farm club. These days, they are the Tampa Bay Rays’ AAA farm team, with better pitchers than Tim Robbins.

T3) Major League— Owner of the Cleveland Indians puts together a purposely terrible team so they’ll lose and she can move the team to Miami. Movie was made before anyone realized that a baseball team in Miami was a bad idea.

Bob Uecker steals the show as the team’s radio announcer; Charlie Sheen is the relief pitcher, Tom Berenger the veteran catcher.

2) For Love of the Game— A Hall of Fame pitcher at the tail end of his career saves his best game for last. Kevin Costner is the pitcher; JK Simmons is the manager, John C Reilly is the catcher.

1) Moneyball— I’m an A’s fan; what did you expect? Brad Pitt plays Billy Beane, GM of a major league team that succeeds despite having a cheap owner. 20 years later and the same stuff is still going on.

Friday’s quiz
What old-time singer was the original owner of the Los Angeles Angels?

Thursday’s quiz
Shaquille O’Neal played his college basketball at LSU.

Wednesday’s quiz
Philip Seymour Hoffman played A’s manager Art Howe in Moneyball.

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

Friday’s Den: Random stuff with weekend here…….

13) Reds 6, Braves 3:
— ESPN had Reds’ 1B Joey Votto miked, was interviewing him while he played the field in the 4th inning Thursday night. To me, this is an unnecessary intrusion on the game; let the guy play, it is a regular season game. Interview him in the dugout while the Reds are batting.
— Brandon Drury hit a 3-run homer in 6th inning to break game open.

12) Cubs 5, Brewers 4:
— Cubs’ SS Nico Hoerner hit the major league’s first home run this season.
— Last 11 years, Milwaukee has started 11 different players at 1B in their opener.

11) Cardinals 9, Pirates 0:
— Adam Wainwright has now thrown 32 consecutive scoreless innings vs Pittsburgh.
— Paul Goldschmidt was 1-1 with four walks in this game.

10) They were talking on a San Diego Padres’ exhibition game the other night, about a guy named John Roskos, who made the 2000 Padres after he had an awesome spring training.

Roskos had played briefly for the Marlins the previous two years; he started his first two games for San Diego in 2000, but it didn’t go well, and he got sent down to the minors after going 1-27, never to return to the major leagues.

It is so difficult to get to the major leagues, but it is tough to stay there too. A guy goes 4-49 in 37 games over three seasons, and 22 years later, they’re still talking about him.

9) Padres and Minnesota Twins made a trade:
— Minnesota gets P’s Chris Paddack and Emilio Pagan
— San Diego gets P Taylor Rogers and OF Brent Rooker.

8) College basketball lost one of its better TV analysts Thursday; Steve Lavin signed on to coach the San Diego Toreros in the WCC. Lavin used to coach UCLA/St John’s; San Diego is a much harder job than UCLA/St John’s.

7) Why didn’t the Minnesota Twins put a retractable dome over their stadium? Milwaukee did it and they generally average 8,000 or so more fans a game than the Twins do.

6) Last year was first time ever that pitchers started more games with five days’ rest than four days’ rest. Some teams are going with six-man rotations to start this season.

5) Hopefully the Los Angeles Angels are a contender this year, so their TV guys don’t spend all their time raving about Shohei Ohtani- it is all they ever do now. They’ve got Mike Trout on the team but they are obsessed with Ohtani. Maybe if the team is actually good, they can talk about some of the other 25 guys on the team.

Ohtani apparently spent a good part of his offseason doing commercials/making more $$$; he was on a ton of commercials during ballgames Thursday.

4) At BetMGM, 22.3% of bets to win the NBA title were on the Lakers, most of any team, so they’re pretty darn happy LA has been eliminated from the playoff hunt.

3) Baseball’s All-Star Game is in Dodger Stadium this summer, for first time since 1980.

2) Buffalo Bills signed WR Stefan Diggs to a 4-year, $104M contract; Bills are getting their new stadium, now they’re trying to build a championship team to play in the new stadium.

1) ESPN just signed NFL information guy Adam Schefter to a new contract, for $9M a year; at first I thought it was a misprint, but it is for real. Schefter makes freakin’ $9M a year. What a country.

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

Saturday’s Den: Wrapping up the second day of baseball…….

13) The classic baseball movie Major League came out 33 years ago this week, which makes me feel old; the plot of that movie is being played out in Oakland, where the A’s have assembled a very bad baseball team. Not sure if ownership is trying to lose so much that attendance will go in the tank, which will justify a move to Las Vegas/Portland, but it seems that way.

In 1979, the A’s went 54-108; I was 19 and it was a long summer, but at least that team had a young Rickey Henderson. Not much hope for this group right now.

12) Through two days, 20 games:
— Most pitches thrown: Robbie Ray 96; Yu Darvish/Frankie Montas 92
— Home teams are 11-9; over is 10-9-1.

11) Giving umpires a microphone to announce to the crowd how instant replay reviews turn out is a great idea. 20 years late, but better late than never.

10) Padres 3, Diamondbacks 0:
— Thru two games, Arizona has zero hits in innings 1-6.
— Eric Hosmer had three hits, scored twice for San Diego.

9) Giants 6, Marlins 5 (10):
— Miami scored three runs in ninth, took a 5-4 lead, but couldn’t hold it.
— Thairo Estrada tied the game with a 9th-inning homer for the Giants; Austin Slater walked it off with a 10th-inning double.

8) Rangers 10, Blue Jays 8:
— Blue Jays starter Jose Berrios didn’t get an out until his 31st pitch; it was the only out he got.
— Texas led 6-0 in second inning; it was tied by the fifth inning.

7) Bronx 6, Red Sox 5 (11):
— Game was 3-2 after first inning, almost didn’t get over the total.
— Newly-acquired Josh Donaldson walked it off with an 11th-inning single.
— Teams combined to go 3-20 with runners in scoring position.

6) Tigers 5, White Sox 4:
— Eric Haase tied game with a 9th inning homer.
— Javier Baez walked it off with a 10th-inning single.
— Chicago 3B Yoan Moncada (oblique) is out for three weeks.

5) Mariners 2, Twins 1:
— Mitch Haniger hit a 2-run homer in the first, Seattle’s only runs.
— Robbie Ray tossed 7 innings, 96 innings, more than any pitcher so far this week.
— Teams combined to go 0-12 with runners in scoring position.

4) Mets 7, Nationals 3:
— Of course there was a bench-clearing incident in a game on AppleTV.
— Mets have been getting with lot of pitches, and they’re tired of it.
— McNeil went 3-4, scored twice, knocked in two runs.

3) Astros 13, Angels 6:
— Thru two games, Houston has hit eight home runs.
— Bregman/Tucker both hit two homers in this game.
— Angels’ bullpen gave up 11 runs in five innings.

2) Braves 7, Reds 6:
— Matt Olson had his first three hits for Atlanta.
— Braves led 7-0 in third inning, hung on for dear life.
— Trvis d’Arnaud knocked in three runs for Atlanta.

1) I pay a decent amount of money for the Extra Innings package on DirecTV, so I can watch any major league game being played; now comes word that AppleTV is going to have a Friday night doubleheader every week- those games aren’t on the Extra Innings package. Right now they’re free, but that is temporary; doubtful I’m going to shell out more money for another TV station.

All these companies are nickel/diming us with these “plus” channels; CNN+, Paramount+. Peacock, A&E+, AppleTV+. It all adds up; lot of small charges add up to a big charge. Oy.
