Armadillo: Saturday's Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind…….

— Got my first vaccine shot Friday morning. Allow me to preach for a few minutes:

Left my house at 9:15am; walked back in the house at 10:17am.

Drove to a ****, walked into the clearly marked area; military people were all over to guide me to the right place.

Gave the people my information, waited on line for a few minutes, got my shot, sat in a waiting area for 15 minutes and decompressed, then I went home.

Second shot is in three weeks; very simple process. Very well-organized site.

I encourage EVERYONE to get vaccinated, so our lives can get back to normal.

— One of the amusing things about being old(ER) is how young people sometimes talk to me.

I gave the guy my phone number to put in the computer; “Is that a landline or a cellphone?”
“Sir, do you have E. MAIL?” Like it is a foreign language or something.

Oy.

— Over the last four seasons, Jacob deGrom has 33 no-decisions in 80 starts; his ERA in those 33 no-decisions is 1.74, which is pretty remarkable.

— Los Angeles Dodger pinch hitters are 0-18 this season, with two walks.

— Dodgers’ SS Corey Seager is 11-20 against Colorado this season.
Corey Seager is 1-21 against San Diego this season.

— Dodgers have been favored to win their last 99 games, the longest-such streak in the last five years.

— Friday night. Tampa Bay P Tyler Glasnow became the first big league pitcher since 1902 (1902!!!) to give up 4+ runs in the first inning of a game, while also striking out four batters in that same inning.

— Thursday night, Seattle Mariners scored 7 runs on 3 hits; they’re the first team since 1994 to score 7+ runs on 3 or fewer hits.

— Houston Astros’ SS Carlos Correa is a free agent this winter; he’s already turned down a deal worth $125M over five years, figured he’ll make more than that in free agency.

Here’s the thing: Correa has played more than 110 games in a season ONCE in his career, and that was way back in 2016. One of the best abilities is availability; Correa has been productive in playoff games, but if you want to bank $30M a year, you need to be productive most every day.

— Kansas City Chiefs/Baltimore Ravens made a trade Friday:
Chiefs get:
— Pro Bowl tackle Orlando Brown
— A 2021 2nd-round pick (# 58)
— A 2022 6th-round pick.

Ravens get:
— KC’s 2021 1st-round pick (#31 overall),
— KC’s 3rd-round pick (#94)
— KC’s 4th-round pick (#136)
— A 2022 5th-round pick

— Memphis 130, Portland 128— These teams are playing each other three times in six days, which is very weird scheduling by the NBA.

— Random trivia: actor George Clooney is the nephew of the famous singer Rosemary Clooney; apparently, I’m the only person in America who didn’t know this.

— When I was a kid, people were always saying how you should aspire to be a doctor or a lawyer, jobs where you make a lot of money. Sound advice.

If I was advising a young person, I’d tell him to become a beer distributor; you still make a lot of money, and you ain’t ever going to run out of customers. Plus, it doesn’t require graduate school.

When I was a kid, two guys in my neighborhood drove Cadillacs:
— Mr Reilly, who owned two funeral homes
— Mr Oliver, the beer distributor
