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

        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

                      Quote of the Day
                      “We knew as a team, especially after the first week, we were way better than that. Big shoutout to the coaches and the manager to have no panicking, It would only take one game to get us going on. That’s what happened. Everybody started feeling better, everybody started to relax a little bit. The pitchers have been amazing. I think they’re a big reason why we started the winning streak. It’s a lot of fun. We’ll go day by day and see how long we can stretch this streak.”

                      Sunday’s Den: Wrapping up a sports Saturday

                      13) College football teams are having their spring practices now, which traditionally end with an intrasquad game- the question is this:

                      Will coaches be hesitant to name a starting QB for the fall, for fear that the guy who isn’t named the starter will transfer? Naming a starter on August 25 instead of April 25 makes it more likely that you’ll have both guys for this coming season.

                      12) Jacob deGrom has started four games this season; opponents swung at 225 of his pitches, whiffing on 100 of them. He’s given up 13 hits, 80 foul balls, had 32 outs on batted balls.

                      11) Astros 16, Angels 2— Houston starter Jake Odorizzi left this game after 5 pitches with an arm problem; they brought Kent Emanuel to make his major league debut. Little did they know that Emanuel would finish the game, giving up five hits, two runs, throwing 90 pitches.

                      28-year old rookies aren’t generally big prospects; he’s the first pitcher to throw 8.2+ innings in his MLB debut since Jesse Litsch in 2007.

                      10) As of 9pm Saturday, there were 184 major leaguers on the IL, 6.1 guys per team.

                      9) Mariners 8, Red Sox 2— Couple guys on Seattle hit balls 410-415 feet to centerfield, but that is the deepest part of Fenway Park- they got doubles instead.

                      Long time ago, some radio wise guys snuck into Fenway and and measured 287 feet from home plate to the left field foul pole on the Green Monster. Unusual ballpark.

                      8) Orel Hershiser was telling a story on TV last night about when the Dodgers started using videos to study trends of opponents, 30-35 years ago. Dodgers gave them $10,000 to put together a video room, with two 24-inch TV’s and two VCR’s.

                      Technology has come a very long way since then; everyone has I-Pads in the dugout now to study what just happened.

                      7) Dodgers 5, Padres 4:
                      — Season series is now 3-3 between these division rivals.
                      — 26th straight start that Blake Snell pitched less than six innings.
                      — Fernando Tatis Jr hit two homers, has four in his last two games. I’m playing against his team in fantasy this week- no bueno.

                      6) Phillies 7, Rockies 5— Good night to have Rhys Hoskins on your fantasy team; he hit a couple homers, knocked in five runs.

                      5) Cardinals 2, Reds 0— Cincinnati has lost six in a row since starting season 8-5.

                      4) Minnesota 101, Utah 96:
                      — In each of their last three games, Timberwolves allowed 40+ points in the first quarter.
                      — Jazz scored 40 points in first quarter, a combined 34 in 2nd/3rd quarters.

                      3) Only 34% of active NFL players last year were picked in rounds 1-3 of the draft; thats how important a team’s GM/scouts are. It is also a big part of why the NFL Draft is so interesting.

                      2) Cleveland Browns re-joined the NFL in 1999, after the original Browns bolted to Baltimore; this fall, Baker Mayfield will be the first Browns QB to start in Week 1, three years in a row.

                      1) I’ll finish today with a quick story; long time ago, maybe 1985-86, something like that, I was on the first down chain gang at a semi-pro football game at Bleecker Stadium in Albany— Metro Mallers were hosting a team from Massachusetts.

                      Some of the Mallers had played college football at UAlbany, where I had been the basketball manager; we go on the field for a measurement, one of the linebackers says to me, “What the hell are you doing here?” We just laughed.

                      Chains were on the visiting team’s sideline; they had the ball around midfield and it turns out I am standing next to the head coach, who is calling plays.

                      He has his play chart in his left hand, studying it carefully; he has an open can of Pabst Blue Ribbon in his right hand, taking a swig now and then. Welcome to semi-pro football!!
