Armadillo: Saturday's Den: Clearing out a cluttered mind…….

13) NFL preseason games aren’t usually all that interesting, but Josh Allen isn’t playing for the Bills in Chicago Saturday afternoon, so Mitch Trubisky will play QB for Buffalo. Last four years, Trubisky was 29-21 as Chicago’s starting QB. The reunion could be interesting.

12) LA Dodgers do a hell of a job in player development:
— Max Muncy had .611 OPS in 96 games with the A’s.
Last four years, Muncy has a .909 OPS with the Dodgers.

— Justin Turner had a .696 OPS in four years with the Mets.
Last eight years, Turner has an .885 OPS for Los Angeles.

11) Braves 3, Orioles 0:
— Max Fried threw a 90-pitch complete game for his 4th straight win.
— Atlanta has won its last 11 road games.
— Orioles lost their 16th straight game, all by 2+ runs.

10) Seattle Mariners are 26-14 in one-run games this year, which is really good.

9) Phillies 4, Padres 3:
— San Diego has lost 8 of its last 9 games.
— Machado and two coaches were tossed in 8th inning for arguing balls/strikes.
— Reds and San Diego are now tied for 2nd Wild Card slot.

8) Dodgers 3, Mets 2
— Mets lost 7 of last 8 games- they scored 21 runs in last seven games.
— Mets trail Reds/San Diego by six games in Wild Card race.

7) Atlanta Braves signed C Travis d’Arnaud to a 2-year, $16M contract extension.

6) Good news for Milwaukee Bucks’ fans; their star player Giannis Antetokounmpo bought a small stake in baseball’s Milwaukee Brewers, a signal that he’ll be staying in Wisconsin for a while. Bucks also signed his brother Thanasis to a 2-year contract.

5) In 1992, Dallas Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy was the WR’s coach for the Pitt Panthers, not exactly a lucrative job. He also worked late at night as a toll collector on Pennsylvania Turnpike, and would study the Pitt playbook when there wasn’t any traffic.

4) Saw clips on Twitter Friday night; they’re already playing high school football in Tennessee. Must be nice and cool at those games.

3) Last five years, golfer Tony Finau has finished in the top 10 of 39 tournaments, but hasn’t won any of them. 39 top 10’s still adds up to a lot of money.

2) Few weeks ago, they announced that two people would host Jeopardy!, taking over for the later Alex Trebek; one of those people bowed out Friday, after word came out that the guy had previously made offensive statements.

What happens if they offer the job to Aaron Rodgers and he accepts it? Rodgers auditioned for the job earlier this year.

1) There was a story on the Interweb about the great actor Jack Nicholson, who is a huge Lakers fan. Back in the early 70’s he was filming the movie Chinatown, but when he was supposed to film one of his scenes, the Lakers were involved in a double overtime game.

Someone told director Roman Polanski that Nicholson wouldn’t come out of his trailer until the basketball game was over. “The game is in double overtime” Polanski was told.

“What the bleep in double overtime?” replied Polanski, obviously not a basketball fan.

Trivia: John Hillerman was also in Chinatown; he is best known for playing Higgins in Magnum PI

Non-Commissioner's Cup

Phoenix Mercury at Atlanta Dream (ESPN2, 12:00 p.m.)
Minnesota Lynx at Chicago Sky (NBATV, 8:00 p.m.)


Phoenix Mercury at Atlanta Dream
Score Prediction: Mercury 83, Dream 82

Best Bet: Atlanta +5.5

The Mercury are continuing to thrive in the WNBA as they sit with the fifth-best record in the league. The entire team is clicking on all cylinders and it shows with the way they are competing on both ends. Phoenix dominated their last meeting against the Washington Mystics led by Brittney Griner’s 30 points and 12 rebounds. Being winners of three straight, along with a victory against Atlanta last Sunday, the odds are in favor for Phoenix to clinch a win.

The Dream will certainly make things competitive on their end. Unfortunately, they couldn’t close out their last two games against the Los Angeles Sparks. As the team sits at 6-16 on the season, the playoff hopes are very small compared to earlier in the season. Despite those circumstances, expect the Dream to take this game down to the wire and give Phoenix everything they have.

The Chicago Sky will look to turn things around after dropping three of their last four games. (AP)


Minnesota Lynx at Chicago Sky
Score Prediction: Sky 88, Lynx 81

Best Bet: Chicago ML

The Dallas Wings need to continue their push for a playoff spot. As they have the number eight spot at 10-13, playing against the team with the worst record should help their chances increase. The Wings’ top players in Arike Ogunbowale, Satou Sabally, Allisha Gray, and others will need to have a top notch performance to secure the win for Dallas.

Despite the Fever’s 4-18 record, which is worst in the WNBA, they have been competitive since the second half of the season. In their previous two games, they went down to the wire with the Los Angeles Sparks and Phoenix Mercury. Indiana will not allow Dallas to walk away with an easy victory. Although the Fever will still lose the game, they can still make things competitive down the stretch.
