Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

Questions, questions……we always have questions………

— Why can’t we nominate better candidates for President?

— Why can’t NFL quarterbacks call their own plays? (a few do)

— I asked someone the other night what kids learn in grade school now, and was told “Common Core”. What the hell is that? (OK, I googled it so now I kind of know, but why weren’t all kids taught the same things?)

— Why doesn’t MLB Network show some Japanese games, so we can see what they look like? I’ve never seen one.

— If you asked 20 high school kids what a phone booth is, how many would know the right answer?

— Major league umpires are on road seven months at a time, except for All-Star break and a vacation; do they have actual homes?

**********

Armadillo: Thursday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud……….

13) Dick Vitale has raised over $18M to fight cancer; he really does so much great work fundraising to promote research for battling cancer, especially pediatric cancer. He deserves a lot of credit; he is 77 and still has so much energy. Good for him.

12) I get frustrated when people say they cannot write– anyone can write!!!! If you can talk, you can write. You just sit down, visualize your thoughts and type them on a keyboard, or write them on paper. It can be intimidating at first but it is well worth the effort.

Or you can talk into a tape recorder and transcribe what you said and there…….you have written!!!!

11) Joe West has been a major league umpire for 40 years; that’s really impressive. I’m just impressed that anyone can stand up for three consecutive hours without eating anything.

10) Baltimore Orioles have 17 stolen bases…..all season. 26 players have more than them.

9) St Louis Cardinals haven’t scored a run in their last 28 games against Cubs closer Aroldis Chapman, that covers five years.

8) Why would anyone play baseball and bat right-handed? There is no tangible advantage to batting righty, but there is to batting lefty– you’re that much closer to first base!!! Always amazes me.

7) Eagles’ long-snapper Jon Dorenbos is a magician who is a finalist on a talent program– America’s Got Talent. We wish him well.

Young man had a tough childhood; when he was 12, his father murdered his mother, and Jon had to testify at his father’s trial. At age 12.

6) LSU has 44 alums in the NFL this year, most of any college. Next are Alabama (42), Florida State (41), Ohio State (39).

5) The Big X is talking about expanding to more than the current 10 teams, but apparently Oklahoma State doesn’t want front-running contender Houston to join the league- the Cowboys recruit the Houston area heavily and if the Cougars were to join the Big X, that would probably cripple OSU’s recruiting.

4) 2017 baseball schedule was released Wednesday; things start with two games April 2, then the real Opening Day is Monday, April 3. There is one scheduled doubleheader next year; A’s @ Tampa Bay, the first scheduled twinbill in the major leagues in six years.

3) Texas Rangers finished their season series with their in-state rival Astros with a 15-4 record. Rangers lead Houston by 10.5 games, so they’re basically even except for the games against each other.

2) Time management is one thing I need to get a better handle on; even in retirement from my day job, that only freed up 45 or hours a week, and roughly half of that is eaten up by sleeping a normal amount, which I never did before, so having the discipline not to waste time is important.

1– Jerry Jones bought the Dallas Cowboys in 1989 for $142M. Now they’re worth $4.2B. Not sure if Jones will ever get in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but he damn sure should be in the Rich Guys Hall of Fame.
