Wednesday’s quiz
Which team holds the American League record for most consecutive wins?
Tuesday’s quiz
In the last 20 years, the ’06 Kansas City Royals have the longest losing streak, dropping 19 games in a row.
Monday’s quiz
Jeff Van Gundy was the Knicks’ coach, last time they played in the NBA Finals.
**********************************************
Wednesday’s Den: Mid-week musings……..
13) If you live in the Embassy Gardens apartments in London, you have access to a swimming pool that is elevated 115 feet in the air. The 82-foot-long heated pool, which stretches across two flat roofs of the Embassy Gardens’ Legacy buildings, has a clear floor— there is no freakin’ way I could stay in there very long. Looks like it is going to crash to the street any second now.
The pool utilizes an eight-inch-thick acrylic frame with a nearly 12-inch-thick base that’s just shy of 10 feet deep and weighs a whopping 50 tons- it ain’t crashing to the street.
And it looks really cool. Would still make me queasy though.
12) Denver 147, Portland 140, 2OT:
— Denver’s Jokic scored 38 points, had 9 assists, 11 rebounds.
— Portland’s Lillard was 12-17 on arc, scored 55 points in an amazing losing effort.
— Rest of the Trailblazers were 9-31 on the arc.
— Portland’s Powell was +11 in 51:00; they were minus-18 in 7:00 he sat out.
— Its not who starts, its who finishes: Denver’s Morris didn’t start, but scored 28 points in 41:00.
11) Quote of the Day, part 2:
“They’re trying to play tough, push our guys around, talk shit, but we can do that too. We show them as soon as we came back here. We can push guys around too. ……..we can be physical, but we can win games as well. Now we’re coming to your home to win this game again. We’ll send you on vacation.”
Clint Capela, Atlanta Hawks, who lead the Knicks 3-1.
Memo to Clint Capela; don’t wake the sleeping bear. Series ain’t over. Its been five years since the Hawks won a playoff series.
The great football coach Paul Brown once said: “When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less.” Sound advice.
10) Monday night in Arizona, not only did Jacob deGrom throw six shutout innings, he also knocked in a run with a single, after Arizona walked the batter ahead of him intentionally to load the bases.
Before that hit, deGrom was 8-18 batting this season; he played shortstop in college, the guy can hit. Sketchy strategy loading the bases to pitch to him.
9) Speaking of Mets-Diamondbacks series, Wednesday afternoon’s game isn’t on TV, it is on YouTube. Just put your phone/laptop on, and it is there for free.
8) Quote of the Day, part 3:
“It’s only cheating if you get caught.”
Bill Cowher, talking about the Patriots’ SpyGate debacle.
7) Padres’ SS Fernando Tatis left Tuesday’s game with an oblique issue; they say Tatis is day-to-day, but oblique injuries tend to linger.
6) Florida Gators football coach Dan Mullen has a new contract extension; he will now get paid an average of $7.6M per season through 2026.
In the SEC, only Alabama’s Nick Saban ($9.1M) and LSU’s Ed Orgeron ($8.7M) make more.
5) Phoenix 115, Lakers 85— Daytime talkshows will be buzzing after this beating; Lakers aren’t so good without Anthony Davis. Suns lead the series 3-2.
By the way, you can bet on almost anything; one prop bet was Lebron James’ total of points, rebounds and assists was 44.5 for this game.
James scored 24 points, had 5 rebounds, 7 assists— the under hit.
4) Baltimore 7, Minnesota 4:
— Orioles snap their 14-game losing streak.
— Orioles snap an 0-16 skid against Minnesota.
3) Colorado 3, Texas 2 (11):
— Winning run scored on a wild pitch.
— Texas has lost 13 consecutive road games.
2) Time flies; Roger Goodell has been the NFL commissioner for 15 years already. Guy banks about $40M a year, so he ain’t going anywhere anytime soon.
1) Went to a Wendy’s drive-thru the other day, for first time in 20 months or so; prices have gone way up, like 30% up. Burgers were still good, but fast food is supposed to be relatively cheap, and this wasn’t. It also wasn’t very fast.Leave a comment:

Monday’s quiz
Jeff Van Gundy was the Knicks’ coach, last time they played in the NBA Finals.
Sunday’s quiz
Hank Aaron has the most RBI’s in baseball history, 2,297.
*************************************************
Tuesday’s Den: Nobody asked me, but…….
13) Genius alert: A fan ran onto the court, jumped up and touched the backboard while the 76ers-Wizards game was going on Monday night. Security tackled the guy and got rid of him.
The whole thing seemed fairly harmless, but this kind of stuff has to stop, before someone runs on the court with more malicious intent; someone is going to get hurt. Players have a right to protect themselves, and players are mostly very large people.
If you go to a game, stay in the stands, but in any event, if you can’t handle your alcohol, just stay at home.
12) Long, long time ago, during a Baltimore Colts game, I think it was a playoff game, guy ran on the field and took the football in between plays. Colts had a linebacker named Mike Curtis who just totally crushed the guy with a tackle. Knocked him flat. Guy was so drunk he bounced right back up- after that, no one ran on the field and took the football.
11) Baltimore Orioles have now lost 14 games in a row; they’re 5 for their last 64 with runners in scoring position.
10) Montreal 3, Toronto 1— Maple Leafs blew a 3-1 series lead, losing Games 5-6 in overtime, then losing Game 7 at home; they haven’t won a playoff series of any kind since 2004.
9) Wizards 122, 76ers 114:
— Philly leads series 3-1, but Joel Embiid (knee) didn’t play the second half.
— Ben Simmons was 5-11 on the foul line. This bothers me.
— Wizards won despite Russell Westbrook going 3-19 from the floor.
8) Ben Simmons is a career 59.7% free throw shooter; I’ve coached high school kids who weren’t any good who shot better than that. Simmons is one of the five best passers I’ve ever seen; he is very, very skilled, but for whatever reason, he doesn’t shoot the ball well.
Few years ago, Showtime ran a 90-minute special on Simmons, about the period in between his year at LSU and his getting drafted by the 76ers. Was very anxious to see the special, wanted to like the kid, but fact of the matter, he wasn’t very likeable.
Shooting is something that can be learned with hours in the gym, just hard work and proper technique. Charles Barkley said it last night “You can’t be considered a superstar if you can’t shoot the ball”.
7) Utah 120, Memphis 113— Jazz take 3-1 series lead, making 17 of 34 3-pointers.
6) Looking ahead to college basketball for a minute, The Spectrum Center in Charlotte will host a pretty good quadruple-header on December 17th:.
St. Bonaventure/Virginia Tech
Richmond/NC State
Wake Forest/Charlotte
East Carolina/Liberty
5) Bad Luck Department: You know you’re going bad when the Mets are coming to town, and they get rained out Sunday, which means Jacob deGrom pitches against you Monday, when he was supposed to pitch Sunday and wasn’t supposed to pitch in this series.
Arizona has now lost 14 of its last 15 games.
4) Cubs’ 1B Anthony Rizzo hasn’t played the last six days because he has a stiff back; not sure why they’re not just putting him on the 10-day injured list. That way, they wouldn’t have to play a man short every single day.
3) Over the last 30 years, pitchers who averaged least pitches per inning in a season:
12.2— Carlos Silva, 2005 Twins
12.3— Greg Maddux, 1997 Braves
12.3— Bob Tewksbury, 1992 Cardinals
2) Since 2019, National League players with most RBI:
203— Freddie Freeman
179— Nolan Arenado
176— Eduardo Escobar
1) If the baseball playoffs started today (they don’t):
NL: Mets-Cubs-Giants. Wild Card: LA @ San Diego
AL: Rays-White Sox-A’s. Wild Card: Clev/Hst @ BostonLeave a comment:

Quote of the Day
“I think a lot of it has to do with their attitude toward us. They hate us, and so it’s easy for us to get more excited to play those guys. It’s kind of how they’ve behaved in the past couple years with us pitching inside, with them throwing at our guys, stuff like that.”

Houston Astros started playing in the Astrodome in 1965, their 4th year in existence; before they moved into the Astrodome, their nickname was the Colt .45’s, as in the Colt .45 gun.
**********************************************
Monday’s Den: Wrapping up a busy Sunday
13) Should have mentioned this yesterday; Twins’ 3B Josh Donaldson scored the 2,000,000th run in major league history Saturday. Pretty big deal; Bob Watson scored the 1,000,000th run back in 1975.
12) San Diego Padres played extra inning games four days in a row, then did something weird Sunday, to rest their bullpen.
Trailing 7-0 after the third inning, Padres replaced starter Blake Snell with Joe Musgrove, another starter who is probably their #2 pitcher. Musgrove threw five hitless innings, which is great, but they lost anyway and now he misses his regular turn in the rotation Monday, kind of a big deal.
San Diego couldn’t bring minor leaguers up to fortify the bullpen? Now Musgrove misses a start against the Cubs, good news for Chicago.
11) Weather has screwed up a lot of baseball schedules this spring; Indians played a twinbill against Toronto Sunday, and have another one with the White Sox today.
This is the first time since September 2000 that Cleveland has played doubleheaders two days in a row- they played four games in two days at Fenway Park back then.
10) Arizona 9, St Louis 2— Diamondbacks snap their 13-game losing skid; Ketel Marte homered, Josh Reddick had three hits against a lefty starter.
9) Chicago 3, Baltimore 1— Now the Orioles have a 13-game losing skid; they’ve scored a total of nine runs in their last five games.
8) Angels 4, A’s 2:
— A’s started the season 1-7; not good.
— Then the A’s won their next 13 games; very good.
— A’s are 17-17 since then; they lead AL West by 1.5 games.
7) Giants 5, Dodgers 4— LA lost four of its last five games, giving up 24 runs in their last three games.
6) Colorado 4, Pittsburgh 3— Rockies scored twice in ninth inning to break a 5-game losing skid; they’ve been shut out three times in their last five games. Now they go home to Denver, where they hit the ball way better than they do on the road.
5) Hawks 113, Knicks 96:
— Atlanta leads series 3-1; they led by 13 at halftime of the loss.
— Hawks were +29 with Bogdanovic on the court, minus-12 in 13:00 he sat out.
4) Suns 100, Lakers 92:
— Chris Paul scored 18 points, had 9 assists, played 32:00.
— Lakers’ star Anthony Davis missed second half with a leg injury.
3) Nets 141, Celtics 126:
— Brooklyn shot 57.8% from the floor, made 16-27 3’s- they led series 3-1.
— in first three quarters, Nets scored 112 points on 71 possessions, really good.
2) Clippers 106, Mavericks 81:
— Road team has won all four series games.
— Dallas made only five of 30 3-point shots.
1) RIP to former Utah Jazz center Mark Eaton, who passed away at age 64 after a bike accident. It was touching reading people praising Eaton as a kind soul who was nice to everyone- we need more kind souls in this world. He worked as a motivational speaker in his retirement.
