Quote of the Day
?I might try to play 36, 45 holes in a day and try to focus on each shot so that when I go out and play 18, it doesn?t feel like it?s that much. I might try to elongate the time that I end up meditating, but I?m trying to use my mind like a muscle and just expand it because as I?ve gotten older it?s been more difficult for me to maintain a sharp focus, a good visualization and see the shot.?

Friday?s quiz
Nine years after he retired as a player, Hall of Famer Ted Williams took over as manager of the Washington Senators.

Thursday?s quiz

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

Saturday?s Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind??..

13) Dodgers 2, Giants 1? Trevor Bauer gets big road win, but in top of 6th inning, he hit what looked like a line drive single to RF with two on and two out, which would?ve broken the game open. Instead, SF rightfielder Mike Yastrzemski fielded the ball on one hop, threw him out at first base- end of rally. You don?t see that very often.

12) Tampa Bay 9, Toronto 7 (12)? Francisco Mej?a hit a grand slam in the 12th inning as the Rays won their 8th game in a row; Toronto walked Joey Wendle intentionally to pitch to Mejia.

11) Texas 7, Houston 5 (10)? Rookie Adolis Garc?a sent most of the 30,445 fans home happy with a walk-off homer, his 12th homer this season. Texas blew a 4-1 lead in 8th inning, but they win for only second time in their last 11 games.

10) Rockies 7, Diamondbacks 1? Arizona has lost its last 11 road games.

9) Reds 9, Brewers 4? Jesse Winker went 4-4, scored four runs, hit three solo homers.

8) Mets 6, Marlins 5 (12)- Rookie Khalil Lee hit a tie-breaking RBI double in the 12th inning, his first major league hit. Mets put Pete Alonso (hand) on the IL before the game.

7) Memphis 117, Golden State 112, OT
? Grizzlies led by 13 at the half.
? Ja Morant scored 35 for Memphis.
? Warriors wore jerseys that said ?Oakland?; the logo at midcourt said ?Oakland?; if they want to be Oakland so bad, why did they build their new arena in San Francisco?
? Grizzlies move on to play Utah in the playoffs.

6) There is a new pro basketball league in Africa; there are 12 teams in it, representing seven countries. Some of the games are shown on NBA TV, in early-morning hours.

5) Whatever happened to Yoenis Cespedes? He didn?t play at all in 2019 because of a leg injury, then opted out of last season after only eight games. Is he retired?

He?ll be 36 in October; if he is healthy, he could still help a team, but haven?t heard his name much at all lately. Maybe next year, if NL teams can have the DH, he will re-surface.

4) I had forgotten that when Brett Favre won his only Super Bowl with the Packers, his backup that year was Jim McMahon, who won a Super Bowl with the ?85 Bears, 11 years earlier.

3) Pitcher Tyler Ivey made his MLB debut with Houston Friday; he is the 19,998th player in major league history.

2) Tampa Bay/Milwaukee made a trade Friday:
? Rays get P?s J.P. Feyereisen, Drew Rasmussen
? Brewers get SS Willie Adames, P Trevor Richards

1) Braves 20, Pirates 1? Atlanta is first team ever with 7+ homers and two grand slams in the same game.

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

Sunday?s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday

13) Next wave of change in major league baseball figures to be some losing teams ditching their over-educated ?executives? and bringing back old school baseball people to put together rosters and lineups. Overachieving teams either do something different, or they do things better.

Some of these cruddy teams are playing badly for one simple reason; they have bad players, or players who aren?t ready to be major leaguers yet.

Seattle insists on batting their big prospect Jarred Kelenic leadoff; problem is, he is hitting .139, Drop him down in the order, take some pressure off him, maybe score more runs.

12) Indians 5, Twins 3 (10):
? Cesar Hernandez walked it off with a home run.
? Minnesota is now 0-8 in extra innings.

11) I don?t have numbers on this, but seems to me that base umpires are calling more and more strikes on check swing appeals. The end of the bat always looks like it goes too far, even if the batter?s hands don?t commit to the swing.

10) Dwight Gooden?s son is a sophomore in high school who is rising up the recruiters? charts as a pass rusher; the kid is 6-foot-6, and he is getting recruiting attention from several top 20 teams.

At first, Dylan Gooden wanted to be a WR, but his dad talked some sense to him, he switched to defense and now he figures to be a highly sought after recruit.

9) Bucks 109, Heat 107, OT:
? Miami took 50 3-pointers, 49 2-point shots.
? Milwaukee was +13 on the boards.
? Miami?s bench outscored the Bucks? subs, 39-15.

8) Mavericks 113, Clippers 103:
? Dallas made 17 of 36 shots on the arc.
? Clippers? five starters were a combined minus-70.
? Luka Doncic scored 31 points, had a triple-double.

7) Nets 104, Celtics 93:
? Brooklyn outscored Celtics 57-40 in second half.
? Blake Griffin played 20:00, didn?t take a shot from floor, was 1-2 on foul line.
? Jayson Tatum was 6-20 from the floor; not good enough.

6) Trailblazers 123, Nuggets 109:
? Blazers played only eight guys, not a lot.
? Carmelp Anthony scored 18 points in 22:00 off the bench.
? Funny how Portland?s star G?s went to Weber State/Lehigh.

5) When the Braves led Atlanta 20-1 the other night. Ronald Acuna wanted to take an at-bat left-handed, but manager Brian Snitker wouldn?t let him do it. Javier Baez has done this a couple of times, when hitting against a position player who was pitching in a blowout.

4) Modern baseball: Mets-Miami were scoreless after four innings; Joey Lucchesi had mowed the Marlins down on 43 pitches, allowing only one baserunner, but the Mets took him out after the 4th inning.

Lucchesi has started 61 big league games, he?s a capable big leaguer, I don?t care what the pencil pushers say? he faced only 12 batters by the way.

3) Rockies 7, Arizona 6? Diamondbacks have lost 12 in a row on the road.

2) Nationals 12, Orioles 9? Baltimore scored five runs in top of the first, but were trailing by the 4th inning- except for John Means, their pitching is terrible.

1) Cubs played St Louis on FOX last night; they had Anthony Rizzo miked, which irritates the hell out of me. Is it that difficult to concentrate on your job instead of yukking it up for the cameras? Not like Rizzo is killing the ball this year; little more focus wouldn?t hurt, and if that makes me the miserable old guy sitting on my porch, then so be it.
