Weekend Watch
Joe Williams

Saturday, July 27

Cubs LHP Jon Lester (illness) returns to the hill after being scratched from his mid-week start due to an illness. He will take on RHP Chase Anderson, as he looks to pitch the Cubbies back into first place after being dropped from the perch as a result of Friday's series-opening loss in Cream City against the Brew Crew.

The Cubs have enjoyed weekend play, as they're 4-0 in their past four showings on a Saturday. They're just 6-14 in the past 20 games on the road against a right-handed starting pitcher, however, while going 3-8 in the past 11 road outings against a team with a winning overall mark. The Cubs turn to the southpaw Lester to get back on the horse. They're 36-16 across the lefty's past 52 outings, while going 42-19 in the past 61 starts against National League Central Division opponents, while going 8-3 in his past 11 starts in Game 2 of a series. They're also 7-2 across his past nine outings when working on seven or more days of rest, too.

The Brewers look to keep up their winning ways, but it will be a test with Anderson on the bump. The Brew Crew are 1-4 across Anderson's past five outings, 1-5 in his past six when working on six days or more of rest and 0-5 in his past five in Game 2 of a series. They're also 0-4 across his past four outings inside the division. The Brewers are 7-3 in the past 10 overall, and 5-1 in the past six against a left-handed starting pitcher, though, while cashing in six of the past seven against teams with a winning overall mark. They're also 8-2 in the past 10 at home vs. LHP.

In this series the under is 29-8 across the past 37 meetings, and 28-11-2 in the past 41 battles at Miller Park. The under is also 4-0 in Anderson's past four home outings against the Cubs, and 5-0 in his past five meetings against Chicago overall. The under is also 4-0 in Lester's past four against the Brewers. The Cubs have won just twice in the past nine trips to Milwaukee, but they're 6-1 in the past seven outings by Lester against the Brew Crew.

Indians RHP Mike Clevinger faces off against Royals RHP Glenn Sparkman at Kauffman Stadium, as Cleveland looks to keep pace with Minnesota in the AL Central. The Indians are two games back of the Twins, and they look to stay hot against the lowly Royals. Clevinger spun six scoreless innings with four hits allowed, no walks and nine strikeouts in a win on July 3 in Kansas City, and he has turned in three quality starts in four outings since getting tuned up in Baltimore before the All-Star break. Sparkman faced the Indians last time out, allowing five runs - four earned - and nine hits with two walks and just one strikeout in a loss in Cleveland on July 21. The Royawls are 1-3 across his past four outings, and 3-7 in his past 10 overall. He also allowed five earned runs and seven hits over 5 2/3 innings in a no-decision in Cleveland back on June 25.

The Rangers roll out RHP Adrian Sampson against RHP Homer Bailey and the Athletics on Saturday night at 9:07 p.m. ET. The Rangers have picked up just one win in the past five road outings vs. RHP, and they're 1-5 in the past six against a righty. As far as Sampson is concerned, they're a dismal 0-9 across his past nine road outings and 0-6 in his past six tries agaisnt teams with a winning overall mark. The A's are 7-1 in their past eight in Game 3 of a series, while going 5-1 in the past six appearances on Saturday. More importantly, they're 11-3 in the past 14 following a loss, and 6-2 in the past eight at home. However, they have managed just one win in the past five divisional games while going 0-5 in the past five vs. RHP. Texas enters 7-19 in the past 26 trips to the Bay Area against the divisional rivals.

Weather Report
The early-afternoon battles will be precipitation-free with light and variable winds. However, the Twins and White Sox will experience a strong 14-17 mph wind blowing out to left field, so watch the over in that one. The Pirates and Mets will also deal with a 10-13 mph jetstream to left field at Citi Field. All other venues are in the clear in terms of rain and wind.


Sunday, July 28

Astros LHP Wade Miley takes the ball for Sunday's interleague series finale against Cardinals RHP Dakota Hudson. Miley enters play with an 8-4 record, 3.18 ERA and 100 strikeouts across 121 2/3 innings with a solid 1.11 WHIP. The 'Stros are 4-1 across his past five outings, and 6-3 in his past nine outings. In his last outing he allowed two earned runs, four hits and two walks with six strikeouts across eight innings in a no-decision against the A's. He hasn't lost at home, however, since May 29. The Cards have Hudson on the hill, and he puts his 10-4 record, 3.61 ERA and 1.50 WHIP on the line. He has picked up victories in four consecutive appearances, and the Cardinals are 11-1 over his past 12 outings. They're also 4-0 in his past four at home.

Indians RHP Trevor Bauer and LHP Danny Duffy do battle in the series finale on Sunday at Kauffman Stadium. The Indians are 7-1 in 'Bauer Outage's' past eight against losing teams, 7-1 in his past eight on a grass surface and 5-1 in his past six inside the division while posting a 7-2 record in his past nine starts overall. Cleveland is also 11-5 in his past 16 starts on the road. They also enter the game with an impressive 21-5 mark in the past 26 games against left-handed starting pitchers. The Royals are just 7-15 in Duffy's past 22 home starts, 10-23 in his past 33 inside the division and 1-9 in his past 10 at home against teams with a winning overall record. They're 3-13 in his past 16 against the Indians, and 0-5 in his past five at home agtainst the Indians. On the flip side, the Indians are a perfect 7-0 in his past seven road starts against the Royals.

In the Sunday Night Baseball game, the Yankees use RHP Domingo German against Red Sox LHP Chris Sale. German rolls in with a 12-2 record, 4.03 ERA and 1.12 WHIP. While he is 6-1 at home and 6-1 on the road, he has a 5.66 ERA in his 49 1/3 innings on the road, so he has been very hittable away from home. While he is 2-0 across his past three outings in 15 2/3 innings, he also sports a 5.74 ERA and .333 opponent on-base percentage. Sale picked up a much-needed victory last time out in St. Petersburg, allowing two earned runs, four hits and three walks with 10 strikeouts over six innings in a win over the Rays, his second consecutive quality start. He has 22 strikeouts in the past 12 innings, too. The last time he faced the Yankees, he allowed four earned runs, seven hits and a walk with 10 strikeouts in a loss at The Stadium on May 31.

Weather Report
On Sunday, the wind will once again be a factor on the south side of Chicago, with breezes from 10-13 mph blowing out again to left field. The Indians and Royals will be dealing with a 14-17 mph wind blowing out to the fountains past the left-center field power alley, benefiting the right-handed hitters. In the evening game at Fenway Park, the Yankees and Red Sox will deal with a 9-11 mph wind blowing out to straightaway center field, too. No precipitation in the forecast, however.

LEADING OFF: Home run streaks, Bochy's goodbye in San Diego
July 27, 2019
By The Associated Press

A look at what's happening around the majors today:

DRIVE FOR FIVE

Four days in a row, a player has hit three home runs. Who can make it five? AL MVP Mookie Betts had his fifth career three-homer game - one shy of the big league record - in Boston's 10-5 victory Friday night over the rival Yankees. Betts followed Mets second baseman Robinson Cano on Tuesday night, Cardinals shortstop Paul DeJong on Wednesday and Minnesota slugger Nelson Cruz on Thursday. Before this stretch, there had never even been three consecutive days with a three-homer game in the majors. ''It's crazy just to see it once,'' Betts said. ''But I guess to see it four straight days, there's a lot of good hitters out there, and they're showing it.''

HALF A DOZEN

A pair of big boppers will try to go deep for the sixth consecutive game.

Paul Goldschmidt has homered in a career-best five straight to help the streaking Cardinals take over sole possession of first place in the NL Central for the first time since May 7. He'll face Astros right-hander Gerrit Cole (11-5, 3.03 ERA), who leads the majors with 205 strikeouts and is 6-0 with a 1.94 ERA since June 1. Goldschmidt's five-game run is one short of the club record shared by Matt Carpenter and Mark McGwire.

''It's the year of the homer, so it shouldn't surprise me,'' Houston manager AJ Hinch said.

Nelson Cruz has connected seven times during his five-game homer streak for the Twins, who became the fastest team to 200 homers in major league history as they beat the Chicago White Sox 6-2 on Friday night. Max Kepler hit a three-run drive for the milestone homer in Minnesota's 103rd game of the season. The previous mark was 122 games by the 2005 Texas Rangers.

FINAL PORT CALL

Giants manager Bruce Bochy is making his last scheduled trip to San Diego this weekend before retiring at the end of the season, his 13th with San Francisco and 25th overall in the big leagues. He managed the Padres for 12 seasons before jumping to the Giants and winning three World Series titles between 2010 and 2014.

''There's no question the last day driving here it's going to be a drive down memory lane,'' Bochy said.

The Padres honored Bochy with a pregame ceremony Friday night, showing a video montage of his years playing with and managing the team. He was presented with a huge bottle of wine and some saltwater fishing rods. Then the surging Giants went out and won 2-1 on Pablo Sandoval's home run in the 11th inning for their 18th victory in 22 games.

ACHING ARMS

Jon Lester (9-6, 3.87 ERA) makes his 400th major league start when the Chicago Cubs play at Milwaukee in a matchup of NL Central contenders. Meanwhile, the Brewers just hope Chase Anderson (5-2, 3.90) can get through his outing unharmed after a string of starters were injured lately. Gio Gonzalez left in the seventh inning Friday night when his shoulder tightened up. That came after All-Star Brandon Woodruff went on the injured list Monday with a strained left oblique and Jhoulys Chacin was placed on the injured list Thursday with a strained lat. Gonzalez was making his second start since spending six weeks on the IL with left arm fatigue. ''I think I'll be all right,'' he said. Milwaukee has not ruled out Gonzalez for his next scheduled start.

WELCOME BACK

For the first time in two years, Yasmany Tomas is earning his big salary in the big leagues. The 28-year-old outfielder was brought back from the minors by the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday and grounded out as a pinch hitter in a 3-2 loss to Miami.

''I never lost hope. I always knew my destiny was to play in the major leagues,'' Tomas said in Spanish.

Tomas was sent outright to Triple-A Reno in April 2018, with Arizona responsible for the $42.5 million owed over the remaining three seasons of a $68.5 million, six-year contract he signed after defecting from Cuba. He was batting .305 with 29 home runs and 80 RBIs for the Aces this year.

''He's been working hard to make this day happen,'' Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said. ''It's a deserving call.''

Tomas has a $15.5 million salary this year and is due $17 million in 2020.

STREAKING AND SLUMPING STARTERS

STREAKING

Gerrit Cole, Houston Astros (11-5, 3.03 ERA, $-6): Cole is among the hottest hurlers in baseball at the moment. Since the start of June, Cole is 6-0 in ten starts with a 1.94 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 93 strikeouts through 65 innings of work. Over his last two starts he's allowed a pair of runs while striking out 22 batters in 14 innings of work.

Even though Houston is 13-3 in his last 16 starts, Cole isn't a great money pitcher, in large part because the Astros are usually huge favorites when he takes to the mound. Case in point: tonight the 'Stros are -200 faves on the road against the St. Louis Cardinals.

However, if you look into prop bets you can still maximize your profit margins. Cole's O/U on his strikeouts total is set at 9.5 with the Over paying +115 at BetAmerica while backing Cole to record a win is -103 at PointsBet.

SLUMPING

Zach Eflin, Philadelphia Phillies (7-10, 4.25 ERA, $-578): The Phillies are just 2-7 in Eflin's last nine starts and the right-hander is a big reason why. Over his previous five starts Eflin is 1-3 with an ERA of 9.38 and a WHIP of 1.88.

Eflin and the Phillies are small +108 underdogs at home against the Braves today. In his previous start against the Braves on July 4 he gave up two dingers and six earned runs in three innings.


3 STRIKES

POOR PITCHING FROM PEREZ

Minnesota's Martin Perez started the year off with a 7-1 record and a sparkling 2.95 ERA but it's been all downhill from there. In six of his last nine starts he's allowed four or more earned runs. During that span the Twins are 4-5 and Perez has an ugly 6.13 ERA.

Today, Perez and the Twins are taking on the Chicago White Sox and starter Ivan Nova who is 5-9 with a 5.49 ERA and a BAA of .310. With the Twins batting .280 on the road while plating 6.14 runs per game, the Over 9.5 is worth a look.

AN EASY SCHEDULE

The Cleveland Indians look like one of the hottest teams in the majors right now, going 22-7 in their last 29 games. But if you look below the surface they might not actually be that good. Over that span they are 19-5 against the Detroit Tigers, Kansas City Royals, Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays. That's right, a whopping 24 of those 29 games came against the four-worst teams in the AL.

Luckily for the Tribe they still have two games left in a three-game series against the Royals and are -235 favorites tonight. But after this series it might be time to fade them. Starting on July 30 their next 20 games will include 14 contests against the Yankees, Astros, Twins and Red Sox, with their easiest six games versus the Rangers and Angels who are both above .500.

SAN FRAN STILL STREAKING

The Giants continue to cruise right along and, after their overtime win last night in San Diego, are 18-4 over their last 22 games - including 10-1 over their previous 11 games on the road. Nonetheless, the Giants are +113 underdogs tonight against the Padres who are 0-8 in their last eight games at home.

The Giants will Shaun Anderson on the mound and they are 5-0 in his previous five starts. The Friars will give the ball to Cal Quantrill and they are 0-5 in his last five starts at home. With the Giants 6-0 in the last six meetings between these two sides, all trends are pointing towards backing the road 'dogs tonight.

Red Sox pound Yankees -- again
July 27, 2019
By The Associated Press

BOSTON (AP) J.D. Martinez and Andrew Benintendi homered as the Boston Red Sox again hit balls all over and out of Fenway Park, battering the New York Yankees 9-5 Saturday.

The Red Sox have outscored the Yankees 38-13 to win the first three of a four-game set. This was the sixth straight game Boston has scored eight or more runs against the Yankees, the first time in the clubs' 117-year rivalry.

Benintendi had three hits and scored three times, and Rafael Devers added three hits and scored twice for the Boston.

Gio Urshela went 4 for 4 with a solo homer and RBI single for New York. The Yankees have lost three straight for the first time since June 11-14.

CC Sabathia (5-6) fared only slightly better than the previous six games by a New York starter (with him included Monday), giving up five runs and nine hits in 4 1/3 innings. In his last outing, the 39-year-old was tagged for seven runs in four innings.

Eduardo Rodriguez (13-4) labored through 5 2/3 innings, giving up three runs, seven hits, striking out five and walking three.

DODGERS 9, NATIONALS 3

WASHINGTON (AP) - Rookie catcher Will Smith homered and drove in six runs, leading Clayton Kershaw and Los Angeles over Washington.

Playing in his 10th major league game, Smith homered in the third inning, hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth, doubled home a run in the sixth, and broke the game open in the seventh with a bases-loaded double off the wall in left-center.

Kershaw (9-2) allowed two first-inning runs and gave up three hits while striking out nine with three walks through the sixth.

Yan Gomes homered for Washington, which has lost three straight.

The Nationals employed an opener for the first time, with left-hander Matt Grace retiring all six Dodgers he faced. Right-hander Joe Ross (0-3) allowed a homer to the first batter he faced and gave up seven runs in 4 2/3 innings.

BLUE JAYS 10, RAYS 9, 12 INNINGS

TORONTO (AP) - Teoscar Hernandez led off the 12th inning with a home run and the Toronto completed a comeback from a seven-run deficit to beat Tampa Bay.

Hernandez connected off Emilio Pagan (2-2) for his second solo homer of the game. Hernandez also went back-to-back with Brandon Drury in the eighth.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning and Drury tied it with a two-out, solo drive as the Blue Jays overcame a 9-2 deficit.

Daniel Hudson (6-2) worked one inning for the win.

Cavan Biggio also hit a solo home run as the Blue Jays snapped a five-game streak in which they'd failed to score more than three runs.

Travis d'Arnaud and Willy Adames each hit three-run home runs in a six-run second but the Rays couldn't hold on.

MARINERS 8, TIGERS 1

SEATTLE (AP) - Ryan Court drove in three runs in his first big league start, rookie Austin Nola also had three RBIs and Seattle beat Detroit.

Nola hit a two-run triple in the fourth inning and the 31-year-old Court had an RBI single for his first hit.

Nola added an RBI double in the four-run seventh inning and Court matched him with a two-run, ground-rule double to make it 8-1.

Omar Narvaez had four hits for Seattle and Tim Beckham doubled twice, singled and scored two runs.

Marco Gonzales (12-8) scattered six hits over seven innings.

Tigers starter Tyler Alexander (0-1) struck out nine but only made it through 4 1/3 innings after giving up eight hits and four runs.

BRAVES 15, PHILLIES 7

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Ozzie Albies hit a grand slam, Ronald Acuna Jr., Ender Inciarte and Adam Duvall also homered and Atlanta routed Philadelphia.

The Braves pounded struggling righty Zach Eflin (7-11) for 10 runs in less than three innings.

Max Fried (11-4) allowed four earned and seven hits, striking out six in 5 1/3 innings in his first start since returning from the injury list because of a blister on his left index finger.

The NL East-leading Braves have won two in a row after losing six of eight. They have a 6 +-game lead over Washington.

J.T. Realmuto and Sean Rodriguez hit two-run homers for the Phillies, who fell 7 + games behind Atlanta but remain in the mix in the wild-card race.

Eflin gave up six earned and seven hits in 2 2/3 innings.

DIAMONDBACKS 9, MARLINS 2

MIAMI (AP) - Nick Ahmed hit a grand slam and an RBI double in leading Arizona past Miami.

Ahmed's homer off starter Jordan Yamamoto highlighted a six-run fourth inning. Eduardo Escobar drove in a run with a single and David Peralta had an RBI groundout.

Alex Young (4-0) allowed two runs and eight hits in six-plus innings. The rookie left-hander struck out two and walked one.

Yamamoto (4-2) retired the first nine Arizona batters before walking Jarrod Dyson and Ketel Marte to start the fourth. He also walked Jake Lamb and hit Christian Walker in the inning.

Jake Lamb hit a two-run homer for the Diamondbacks. Miguel Rojas homered for the Marlins.

REDS 3, ROCKIES 1

CINCINNATI (AP) - Eugenio Suarez hit a two-run homer, Josh VanMeter added a solo shot, and Cincinnati beat Colorado.

Anthony DeSclafani and three relief pitchers teamed up to limit the Rockies to five hits. Wandy Peralta, Michael Lorenzen and Raisel Iglesias combined to face the minimum 12 batters over the final four innings. Iglesias earned his 18th save.

DeSclafani (6-5) left after giving up two hits to start the sixth. He allowed four hits and one run with three walks and five strikeouts.

Travis Story reached on an infield single, moved to second on a balk, went to third on a groundout and scored the only run allowed by DeSclafani on a sacrifice fly by Nolan Arenado in the fourth.

Chi Chi Gonzalez (0-3) lasted 5 2/3 innings, giving up five hits and three runs with two walks and three strikeouts. He also hit a batter.

METS 3, PIRATES 0

NEW YORK (AP) - Steven Matz threw an efficient five-hitter for his first complete game in 90 major league starts, and New York got home runs from Michael Conforto and J.D. Davis in a win over struggling Pittsburgh.

Matz (6-6) struck out seven and walked none, needing just 99 pitches to earn his first win since June 8 against Colorado.

Pirates starter Trevor Williams (3-4) held the Mets hitless until Davis doubled off the right center wall with two outs in the fifth. Conforto sent a changeup into the second deck in right field for a solo shot in the sixth. Davis added a two-run drive to center in the seventh.

ASTROS 8, CARDINALS 2

ST. LOUIS (AP) - Carlos Correa hit his first career grand slam and Houston withstood yet another home run by Paul Goldschmidt in beating St. Louis.

Goldschmidt homered in his sixth straight game, tying a Cardinals record with Matt Carpenter and Mark McGwire. St. Louis had won six in a row before this loss in an interleague matchup of division leaders. Goldschmidt's 24th homer was a solo drive in the fourth.

Gerrit Cole (12-3) improved to 7-0 with a 1.87 ERA since June 1. He struck out seven, raising his major league-leading total to 212, and allowed four hits in seven innings.

Ponce de Leon (1-1) went 2 1/3 innings, his shortest career start and the third straight in which he failed to last past the fourth inning. He walked four and struck out none.

INDIANS 9, ROYALS 1

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - Jason Kipnis hit a grand slam in the first inning, and Cleveland's Mike Clevinger struck out seven and remained perfect against Kansas City.

Clevinger (5-2) allowed one run on eight hits in seven innings and didn't walk a batter. With the victory, Clevinger improved to 8-0 all-time against the Royals.

Royals starter Glenn Sparkman (3-7) allowed eight runs on nine hits in five innings in front of a crowd of 31,181 at Kauffman Stadium, the second-largest home crowd after the season opener. All eight runs allowed by Sparkman came on Cleveland homers.

Francisco Lindor and Jose Ramirez also homered for Cleveland.

Kansas City scored a run in the fifth on an RBI single by Whit Merrifield.

WHITE SOX 5, TWINS 1

CHICAGO (AP) - Yoan Moncada homered, Ivan Nova threw two-hit ball through six innings and Chicago snapped a four-game losing streak with a win over Minnesota.

Moncada finished with three hits, two RBIs and two runs. Adam Engel also had two RBIs for Chicago, which had dropped 12 of 15. The White Sox had been outscored 23-6 during the four-game losing streak.

Nova (6-9) allowed one unearned run on two hits in six innings and won his second straight start.

Evan Marshall got four outs, Aaron Bummer retired two and closer Alex Colome got the final three outs for his 22nd save in 23 chances.

Minnesota starter Martin Perez (8-4) allowed three runs on seven hits in six innings.

BREWERS 5, CUBS 3, 10 INNINGS

MILWAUKEE (AP) - Christian Yelich and Keston Hiura hit home runs in the 10th inning off Chicago closer Craig Kimbrel and Milwaukee rallied for the win.

Yelich opened the 10th with his major league-leading 36th homer, tying it at 3. Pinch-hitter Tyler Saladino drew a walk from Kimbrel (0-2) and Hiura followed with his 11th homer and first career walk-off.

Albert Almora Jr. had put the Cubs up 3-2 when he opened the top of the 10th with his 11th homer, connecting against Freddy Peralta (5-3).

PADRES 5, GIANTS 1

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Rookie Fernando Tatis Jr. hit a two-run home run one pitch after diving out of the way of a knockdown pitch in the fifth inning and San Diego snapped an eight-game home losing streak with a win over San Francisco.

The Padres have won four of 14 since the All-Star break.

Tatis hit the deck to avoid a high, tight pitch from rookie Shaun Anderson (3-3) and then drove a 1-2 slider an estimated 414 feet to center field, his 17th. Rookie right-hander Cal Quantrill was aboard on a leadoff walk.

Greg Garcia added a two-run single in the sixth. It brought in Wil Myers and rookie Luis Urias. Myers hit an RBI double in the fourth.

Quantrill (4-2) allowed one run and three hits in 5 1/3 innings, struck out four and walked four.

Anderson allowed four runs and seven hits in five-plus innings, struck out seven and walked two.

ATHLETICS 5, RANGERS 4

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Ramon Laureano took a slow trot after a home run and later got hit by a pitch, prompting the benches to clear as Oakland posted a testy win over Texas.

Bailey (9-7) allowed three runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings. He struck out seven and walked one.

**********

Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday…….

13) How last five Super Bowl champs did in their season opener the next year:

2014: Seahawks (-5.5) W36-16 vs Green Bay
2015: Patriots (-7) W28-21 vs Pittsburgh
2016: Broncos (+3) W21-20 vs Carolina
2017: Patriots (-8) L27-42 vs Kansas City
2018: Eagles (-1) W18-12 vs Atlanta (3-1-1 vs spread)

12) How last six Super Bowl losers did in their season opener the next year:

2013: 49ers (-5) W34-28 vs Green Bay
2014: Broncos (-7.5) W31-24 vs Indianapolis
2015: Seahawks (-3.5) L31-34 OT @ Rams
2016: Panthers (-3) L20-21 @ Denver
2017: Falcons (-6.5) W23-17 @ Chicago
2018: Patriots (-6.5) W27-20 vs Houston

Since 2003, Super Bowl losers are 3-13 vs spread in Week 1 the next season.

11) How odd is it that Buffalo’s first two games this season are both in the Meadowlands?

10) Stat of the day; New England Patriots lost five of their last six visits to Miami. During that time, Dolphins are 27-20 at home (22-19 vs everyone else).

9) Pac-12 is considering starting football games at noon ET to get better TV exposure.

Let that sink in; the Pac-12 (Pac stands for PACIFIC, as in ocean) is thinking of starting games at 9am or 10am local time; that means players would eat pre-game meals at 5am or 6am?

What geniuses thought this was a good idea?

8) Major league umpire Ted Barrett was once a sparring partner for both Mike Tyson and Evander Holyfield.

7) Baseball stuff:
— Braves put OF Nick Markakis (broken wrist) on IL.
— Royals traded lefty P Jake Diekman to Oakland, for two minor leaguers.
— Dodgers put P Ross Stripling (biceps tendonitis) on IL.
— Mets put 1B/OF Dom Smith (foot) on the IL.

6) 30 years ago, Washington State football coach Mike Leach was an assistant coach at Iowa Wesleyan; for $12,000 a year, he was offensive line coach, offensive coordinator, recruiting coordinator, equipment manager and video coordinator.

He also taught a business law class and was the school’s SID. His wife was the secretary in the football office.

5) This season is the first year they’re using major league baseballs at the AAA level; home runs are up 59% from last year in AAA games. Yes, the baseball is juiced.

4) This, from ESPN’s Steve Levy:

“Wynn/Encore employees are instructed to NOT say “how are you?” to guests…

Ya know, just in case you lost a million in craps…”

3) There have been 17 Super Bowls where one of the starting QB’s went to college in California; none of those QB’s went to USC. No Trojan QB has ever started a Super Bowl. Delaware Blue Hens have had two quarterbacks start a Super Bowl.

2) Bengals’ WR AJ Green appears to have avoided a serious injury; he sprained his ankle at a practice in Dayton Saturday. The NFL requested the Bengals practice in Dayton as part of the league’s 100th anniversary. Bengal officials were leery of the field’s surface.

1) San Francisco Giants are the first MLB team in the live-ball era to win six extra-inning games in a 10-game span. If somehow they make the playoffs this year, they should fly Bruce Bochy right to Cooperstown before the Wild Card game to get inducted into the Hall of Fame, thats how good a manager he is.[/SIZE]
