Friday?s 6-pack
Odds to win the college football national title:
5-2? Alabama
7-2? Clemson
5-1? Ohio State
6-1? Georgia
13-2? Oklahoma
20-1? Texas A&M
Quote of the Day
?They had to call it golf because all the other four-letter words were taken.?
Ray Floyd
Friday?s quiz
Who was the last coach of the Cleveland Browns, before they moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens?
Thursday?s quiz
2004 was last time a Pac-12 team won the college football national title, when USC won; Pete Carroll was their coach that year.
Wednesday?s quiz
Cleveland Indians won 22 games in a row in 2017, the American League record for most consecutive wins.
********************************************************
Friday?s Den: Random stuff with the weekend here??..
13) So you want to be a big league ballplayer?
Travis Blankenhorn was a 3rd round pick of the Twins in the 2015 draft; he didn?t get to AA until 2019, but he made it to the majors last year, getting three at-bats for Minnesota. He can play all over the field, which makes him more marketable.
This season, he?s been a very busy guy:
? He went 2-11 for the Twins? AAA team.
? He scored as a pinch-runner in his only appearance for the big league Twins.
? May 14, Dodgers picked him up on waivers.
? He went 0-3 for the Dodgers? AAA team.
? May 24, Seattle picked him up on waivers from LA.
? He went 6-20 for the Mariners? AAA team.
? June 1st, the Mets picked him up on waivers.
? He?s played in two games for the big league Mets.
Today is June 3rd; this guy has already played for five teams this season.
12) Mets, by the way, have used 45 players this year, the most of any team.
11) Rays 9, New York 2:
? Tampa Bay?s first complete game in five years, 731 games (Ryan Yarbrough)
Michael Kay is New York?s TV play-by-play; he was a whiny baby during this game, crying about the home plate umpire not giving New York any calls. Now he knows how everyone else feels when his team gets all the calls in key spots (Jeremy Giambi was safe at home in 2002!!!!)
10) Oh yeah, that reminds me of Moneyball; why wasn?t the manager (Art Howe) included in the A?s organizational meetings, but Ron Washington (the 3rd base coach) was? And when Howe left the A?s, why wasn?t Washington named manager, instead of Ken Macha?
Washington had to go to the Rangers to become a manager; Texas is one of the A?s rivals, and they let him go there instead of naming him their manager. You wonder how much license the movie makers took when they made Washington such a big part of the film.
9) Suns 113, Lakers 100? Phoenix was up 29 in the first half; not a good look for the Lakers to go out so meekly. An injured Anthony Davis played five uneventful minutes. Devin Booker scored 47 points for the Suns.
8) Nuggets 126, Trailblazers 115? Denver advances in six games; Nikola Jokic had his usual 36 points. Jamychal Green was +22 in 23:00 off the bench.
7) Rockies 11, Rangers 6:
? Texas has lost 15 in a row on the road.
? Colorado may be 4-22 on the road, but they?re 9-2 in last 11 home games.
6) Brewers 7, Diamondbacks 4? Arizona has lost 14 in a row on the road.
5) Pirates 5, Marlins 3? Jacob Stallings hit a bases-clearing double in the 8th inning to score the game-winning runs.
4) Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL changed their name to the Edmonton Elks; they can keep the EE logo on their helmets. Smooth transition; who knew it was so easy?
Someone should tell this to Daniel Snyder, who didn?t have the good sense to switch from Redskins to RedTails, which also would?ve been an easy transition to make.
3) Someone should also tell the Cleveland Indians, who will be rebranding soon, but they?re taking the long way to a new name- their initial list of potential new names consisted of 1,198 names. Lot of names.
My suggestion; Cleveland Spiders- the hats would be awesome and back in the 1890?s, there was a team called the Cleveland Spiders, so it kind of makes sense.
2) New Jersey Devils/Philadelphia 76ers are owned by the same organization, which strikes me as a little odd, seeing how the Devils/Philly Flyers are rivals.
1) There are only three major league baseball games this Monday, and one of those is a makeup game. Sounds like the 2021 schedule was made before they moved the amateur draft to the All-Star break- Monday is the day when the draft was usually held.

Quote of the Day
?I got to make somewhat of a decent living in college.?
Johnny Manziel, claiming he was paid to sign autographs while he was at Texas A&M
Saturday?s quiz
Johnny Manziel played in 14 games, starting 8, for which NFL team?
Friday?s quiz
Bill Belicheck was the last coach of the Cleveland Browns, before they moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens; he was 37-45 as coach of the Browns.
Thursday?s quiz
2004 was last time a Pac-12 team won the college football national title, when USC won; Pete Carroll was their coach that year.
*******************************************
Saturday?s Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind??..
13) June 4, 2016, the White Sox acquired pitcher James Shields from San Diego; he went 16-35, 5.31 in 76 dismal starts for Chicago, after having been 114-90 up to that point in his career.
What makes it (a lot) more disturbing is who the White Sox gave up to get Shields; P Erik Johnson and a young outfielder, Fernando Tatis Jr.
Whoops.
12) I enjoy fantasy baseball, but it can be freakin? baffling, especially if you have a pitcher from the Tampa Bay Rays on your team.
Josh Fleming is on my team, and I have zero idea, none, how they decide when to take him out of games:
? April 19, they took him out when he was throwing a 1-hitter in 6th inning (65 PT)
? May 16, they took him out when he was throwing a 1-hitter after 5 innings (53 PT)
Why do you take guys out when they?re on a roll?
Then last night in Texas, they leave him in to throw 100 pitches when he was giving up a lot of hits- he gave up five runs on 10 hits in seven IP. Yarbrough had thrown a complete game the day before, so their bullpen was fresh. No idea how they do things, not that they care what I think.
11) Only one major league pitcher has ever thrown a no-hitter on his birthday; George Mullin threw a no-hitter for Detroit on his 32nd birthday, way back in 1912.
10) So far this season, American League teams are 59-50 vs their NL rivals.
9) There have been 11 times where a player hit a walk-off homer in consecutive games; last time it happened was 2011, when Albert Pujols did it.
8) Clippers 104, Mavericks 97 (series 3-3):
? Kawhi Leonard scored 45 for the Clippers.
? Road team won all six series games.
? Clippers outscored Dallas 31-20 in 4th quarter.
This is the 9th series in Dallas history where they led 3-2 in games; they won the first eight series. We?ll see how they do in Game 7 Sunday.
7) Wish the NBA playoffs was all best-of-3 series until the Finals, which could be best-of-5; just think it would be more interesting if there was a better chance of an upset.
Understood that money rules, so the more games the better, but the shorter series would make it more like March Madness, and would likely increase TV ratings.
6) Portland Trailblazers fired coach Terry Stotts after nine years; he went 402-318 in the regular season, but 22-40 in playoffs- his Blazers made the playoffs the last eight seasons.
5) Royals 14, Twins 5? Kansas City led 13-2 in the 2nd inning. No bueno. Royals are quietly 29-26, only two games out of the 2nd Wild Card slot in the American League.
4) Padres 2, Mets 0:
? Blake Snell took a no-hitter into the 7th inning.
? San Diego has won its last 12 home games.
3) They?re going to bring the USFL back? Seriously? Back in the 80?s, the USFL was a good spring football league with some legit stars- Jim Kelly, Steve Young, Herschel Walker. It was good football, but off-field issues sabotaged the league.
Now they?re talking about a re-boot in 2022; the XFL is also supposed to be starting up again next year. Sounds like a busy spring/summer next year.
2) There are 43 bowl games scheduled in college football this fall; this week, I found a printout of spreads from the 1981 bowls- there were 15 bowls back then.
1) Mike Zimmer has been head coach of the Minnesota Vikings for seven years; he is the longest tenured coach in the NFL right now, who hasn?t been to the Super Bowl. He is 64-47-1 in regular season games, only 2-3 in playoff games.
Odds to win the Big X football title:
7-5? Oklahoma
13-5? Iowa State
4-1? Texas
12-1? Oklahoma State
20-1? TCU
50-1? Baylor, Kansas St, West Virginia
60-1? Texas Tech
300-1? Kansas
Quote of the Day
?I got to make somewhat of a decent living in college.?
Johnny Manziel, claiming he was paid to sign autographs while he was at Texas A&M
Saturday?s quiz
Johnny Manziel played in 14 games, starting 8, for which NFL team?
Friday?s quiz
Bill Belicheck was the last coach of the Cleveland Browns, before they moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens; he was 37-45 as coach of the Browns.
Thursday?s quiz
2004 was last time a Pac-12 team won the college football national title, when USC won; Pete Carroll was their coach that year.
*******************************************
Saturday?s Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind??..
13) June 4, 2016, the White Sox acquired pitcher James Shields from San Diego; he went 16-35, 5.31 in 76 dismal starts for Chicago, after having been 114-90 up to that point in his career.
What makes it (a lot) more disturbing is who the White Sox gave up to get Shields; P Erik Johnson and a young outfielder, Fernando Tatis Jr.
Whoops.
12) I enjoy fantasy baseball, but it can be freakin? baffling, especially if you have a pitcher from the Tampa Bay Rays on your team.
Josh Fleming is on my team, and I have zero idea, none, how they decide when to take him out of games:
? April 19, they took him out when he was throwing a 1-hitter in 6th inning (65 PT)
? May 16, they took him out when he was throwing a 1-hitter after 5 innings (53 PT)
Why do you take guys out when they?re on a roll?
Then last night in Texas, they leave him in to throw 100 pitches when he was giving up a lot of hits- he gave up five runs on 10 hits in seven IP. Yarbrough had thrown a complete game the day before, so their bullpen was fresh. No idea how they do things, not that they care what I think.
11) Only one major league pitcher has ever thrown a no-hitter on his birthday; George Mullin threw a no-hitter for Detroit on his 32nd birthday, way back in 1912.
10) So far this season, American League teams are 59-50 vs their NL rivals.
9) There have been 11 times where a player hit a walk-off homer in consecutive games; last time it happened was 2011, when Albert Pujols did it.
8) Clippers 104, Mavericks 97 (series 3-3):
? Kawhi Leonard scored 45 for the Clippers.
? Road team won all six series games.
? Clippers outscored Dallas 31-20 in 4th quarter.
This is the 9th series in Dallas history where they led 3-2 in games; they won the first eight series. We?ll see how they do in Game 7 Sunday.
7) Wish the NBA playoffs was all best-of-3 series until the Finals, which could be best-of-5; just think it would be more interesting if there was a better chance of an upset.
Understood that money rules, so the more games the better, but the shorter series would make it more like March Madness, and would likely increase TV ratings.
