Wednesday’s quiz
Buck Showalter was the first manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Tuesday’s quiz
Wilt Chamberlain was the Warriors’ center, last time they played the Celtics in the NBA Finals, way back in 1964.

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

Thursday’s Den: Doing some thinking out loud……

13) Teams’ records in series openers:

(home-away/total)
National League
Arizona 6-4, 2-4/8-8
Atlanta 3-6, 3-4/6-10
Chicago 3-5, 5-3/8-8
Cincinnati 3-4, 4-5/7-9
Colorado 3-6, 1-6/4-12
Los Angeles 5-2, 8-1/13-3
Miami 3-4, 1-8/4-12
Milwaukee 6-1, 5-5/11-6
NY Mets 6-2, 7-1/13-3
Philadelphia 4-5, 3-4/7-9
Pittsburgh 3-5, 2-6/5-11
St Louis 6-4, 4-3/10-7
San Diego 5-2, 7-2/12-4
San Francisco 3-5, 6-3/9-8
Washington 2-6, 3-5/5-11

American League
Baltimore 3-5, 4-4/7-9
Boston 4-4, 5-3/9-7
Chicago 2-6, 3-5/5-11
Cleveland 4-3, 4-5/8-8
Detroit 7-2, 2-5/9-7
Houston 4-2, 6-4/10-6
Kansas City 3-4, 4-6/7-10
LA Angels 5-4, 2-5/7-9
Minnesota 5-4, 4-3/9-7
New York 7-2, 6-1/13-3
A’s 1-7, 3-5/4-12
Seattle 5-2, 4-5/9-7
Tampa Bay 4-5, 3-4/7-9
Texas 5-3, 3-5/8-8
Toronto 6-2, 3-5/9-7

12) Mets lead the NL East by 10.5 games; since 1969, only two teams have had a bigger divisional lead on June 1st:
— 2001 Seattle led by 14 games— Wound up 116-46; last time they made the playoffs.
— 2017 Houston led by 11 games— Won World Series that year

11) Back in 1983, a relief pitcher named Tippy Martinez picked three runners off in the same inning, thought to be the only time that has ever happened in the major leagues.

10) Tuesday night, Adam Wainwright got 32 called strikes from home plate umpire Adam Segal; that’s a lot of called strikes for one game. Wainwright blanked San Diego for seven innings; he faced only 24 hitters.

9) Word has it that Cleveland QB Deshaun Watson will now be facing 24 civil lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct during massage parlor sessions. 24!!!!

Watson’s agent must be having a nervous breakdown; he just negotiated a 5-year, $230M contract; 3% of $230,000,000 is $6.9M; that would be the agent’s take, but Watson is going to be suspended, probably for at least six games. I’m wondering if the agent’s fee takes a hit when Watson gets docked those games via the suspension.

8) Random fact: There has been one no-hitter thrown at Coors Field in Denver, by Hideo Nomo of the Dodgers in 1996.

7) Phillies 6, Giants 5— Philly scored four times in 6th inning, then their bullpen tossed three perfect innings to snap their losing streak. So far this season, Phillies have been outscored by 15 runs from the ninth inning on- they’re 4-10 in one-run games.

6) Tampa Bay Rays occasionally use four outfielders, with the 2B in short right field, giving them basically five outfielders. Hopefully this will be the last season they can do this— baseball needs to ban shifts, to increase offense.

5) Atlanta 6, Arizona 0— Braves are still only 6-12 in day games.

4) Something I learned a long time ago; if you’re quiet and you wear glasses, lot of people assume you’re smart. They may/may not be right, but they do assume that.

3) Pirates 8, Dodgers 4— Pittsburgh sweeps 3-game series in LA; in those games, the Dodgers were -345, -370, -263. Never lay more than -175 in baseball, people.

2) Rays 4, Rangers 3 (11)— How would you like to be the GM of Texas, the guy who convinced his boss (the owner) to shell out $57M for Marcus Semien/Corey Seager?
Today is June 2…….
— Semien is hitting .193 with one homer; he hit 45 homers last year.
— Seager is hitting .236 with a .738 OPS; his career OPS is .860.

Rangers are 24-25, eight games out of first in the AL West; they’re 2.5 games out of the last Wild Card spot. There is still plenty of time, but the Rangers need more production from their $57M a year double play combination.

1) Detroit 5, Minnesota 0– Tarik Skubal is 3-0, 0.84 in his last five starts.

Quote of the Day
“I was in his hip pocket all the time. I was standing behind him in the huddle sometimes, listening to what he was saying before the start of a period. I was sitting in meetings with him, [taking] a ton of notes. I was watching hours of film on Mondays and Tuesdays trying to give him a little advantage for the week if I saw something that might help him in a game.

I would print out this reports every week. It had all the DB’s we were playing and the catches that were against them and the little things I saw on film. I always joked that he just toss them in the bin on the way out. But for me it was the best thing to learn to prepare for a game.”
Aaron Rodgers, on how he learned pro football from observing Brett Favre

Saturday’s quiz
Who was Golden State’s coach before Steve Kerr?

Friday’s quiz

Saturday’s Den: 13 of my favorite TV/movie quotes…….

13) “……here’s the thing. If you can’t spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker.”
Mike McDermott, Rounders

12) “I’ve got a trig midterm tomorrow and I’m being chased by Guido, the killer pimp.”
Miles, Risky Business

11) “You’re a goddamn quarterback! You know what that means? It’s the top spot, kid. It’s the guy who takes the fall. It’s the guy everybody’s looking at first – the leader of a team – who will support you when they understand you. Who will break their ribs and their noses and their necks for you, because they believe. ‘Cause you make them believe. That’s a quarterback.”
Al Pacino, Any Given Sunday

10) “He’s a great player, but I don’t think we can get him in academically.”
Jerry Tarkanian, Blue Chips

9) “Listen, Lupus, you didn’t come into this life just to sit around on a dugout bench, did ya? Now get your ass out there and do the best you can.”
Walter Matthau in The Bad News Bears

8) “I’ll get to the bottom of this……if I have to go all the way to the top.”
Colonel Flagg, M*A*S*H*

7) “Do whats in your heart, son. You’ll be fine.”
Robin Williams, from Good Will Hunting

6) “God likes me!!! He really, really likes me!!! What a day!!! What a fabulous day!!!”
Richard Dreyfuss in Let It Ride

5) “Being perfect is not about that scoreboard out there. It’s not about winning. It’s about you and your relationship with yourself, your family and your friends. Being perfect is about being able to look your friends in the eye and know that you didn’t let them down because you told them the truth…….”
Billy Bob Thornton, Friday Night Lights

4) “Why would you want to dance with someone who doesn’t want to dance with you?”
Adam Sandler, The Wedding Singer

3) “It’s supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. The hard… is what makes it great.”
Tom Hanks in A League of Their Own

2) “A little song, a little dance……a little seltzer down your pants”
Chuckles the Clown, from The Mary Tyler Moore Show

1) “There’s no such thing as a sure thing, thats why they call it gambling.”
Oscar Madison, The Odd Couple
