Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

-- KC outfielder Lorenzo Cain didn't play baseball until he was 16.

-- 33 first-time All-Stars this year. Lot of younger players.

-- A's are 41-50, worst record in AL. Five NL teams have worse records.

-- Johnny Bench as one of top four living baseball players? Anyone ever hear of a guy named Barry Bonds?

-- Bench and Pete Rose = awkward handshake of the day. No love lost there.

-- If you're interested in baseball history, I strongly recommend www.retrosheet.org a free site that is a gold mine of baseball history.

Armadillo: Wednesday's List of 13: Some of my favorite non-sports movies.....

These are thirteen of my favorite non-sports movies. I'm not going to number the list, because this isn't a ranking, just some movies I really enjoyed.........

-- A Few Good Men-- Courtroom scene with Colonel Jessup on witness stand is classic. Kevin Pollak/Kevin Bacon strong supporting cast. Not sure why they tried so hard to make Demi Moore look unattractive, but it didn't work.

-- Random Hearts-- If Harrison Ford announced he was running for President this week, and his health/taxes turned out OK, who is voting against him? In this movie he plays a cop whose wife dies in a plane crash, only to find out the wife was having an affair with a congresswoman's husband. Romance ensues.

-- Good Will Hunting-- My favorite Robin Williams movie; it makes me sad to think how much joy he gave people, but wasn't happy himself. I still think of his last words to Matt Damon in this movie: "Do whats in your heart, son. You'll be fine."

-- Runaway Jury-- My favorite of the John Grisham book/movies. Gene Hackman is the bad guy in this movie; the guy who played the sheriff in My Cousin Vinny (Bruce McGill) is the judge. John Cusack is the star; Dustin Hoffman is also very good.

-- Heat-- Al Pacino and Robert Deniro together; tremendous!!! The scene where they meet in the diner is a film classic.

-- My Cousin Vinny-- Joe Pesci is tremendous, the guy who played Herman Munster on TV (Fred Gwynne) is the judge and Marisa Tomei is Pesci's girlfriend who winds up breaking the case for her boyfriend.

-- Roxanne-- Steve Martin's finest work; coming from me, thats a huge compliment, since he is my favorite comedian/movie star. This scene is all him; check it out.

-- Meatballs-- Bill Murray as a camp counselor who befriends a lonely camper; lot of good lines in this movie. Morty the head of the camp wound up on Cagney and Lacey as their boss and later as a judge on Law and Order.

-- Last Vegas-- Michael Douglas is getting married for first time at age 69; he goes to Vegas for his bachelor party with three friends (Morgan Freeman, Deniro and Kevin Kline), but it is Mary Steenburgen who steals the movie.

-- Searching for Bobby Fischer-- Joe Mantegna is a sportswriter whose son turns out to be a chess prodigy; underrated movie about parents who push their kids too hard.

-- The Bodyguard-- Kevin Costner is Whitney Houston's bodyguard as she heads to the Oscars. Ralph Waite (father on the Waltons and NCIS) is Costner's father in this movie, as he tries to protect his famous client.

-- The Verdict-- Paul Newman is a struggling lawyer who struggles to win a case while a woman planted by the opposition tries to distract him. Jack Warden is Newman's pal in this movie, one of the greatest supporting actors of all-time.

-- Dave-- Kevin Kline owns a temp agency but he looks like the President, who has a stroke while having an affair with his mistress, so he is hired to stand in for the Prez, while his underlings run the country. First Lady Sigourney Weaver figures it all out.

Wednesday, July 15


Suddenly the Liberty are a hot over play

The New York Liberty were cashing under tickets all over to start the WNBA season, but the team from the Big Apple have now gone over in four consecutive contests.

You can look at the Liberty's offense for the recent over trend, with the team averaging nearly seven points more per game than their season average during that span.

Currently, the total when the Liberty host the San Antonio Stars Wednesday is 146.


Sparks still searching for their first road win

The Sparks have still yet to record a victory away from Los Angeles this season, going 0-6 straight-up and 2-4 against the spread.

On the road this season, the Sparks are losing by an average of 10.7 points. That's nearly four points more than their average scoring margin on the season (-7.3 ppg).

L.A. is currently -1.5 when they visit the Seattle Storm Wednesday.


Tulsa Shock cashing again after small ATS skid

The Tulsa Shock opened their WNBA season by posting an 8-0 record against the spread before dropping the following three. The Shock have now bounced back for bettors and have now covered in three consecutive.

The Shock's 11-3 ATS margin is easily the top in the WNBA, well ahead of the second place Connecticut Sun.

Tulsa will visit Indiana and the Fever as 3.5-point underdogs Wednesday.
