That certainly will be part of the calculus. But we've got eight weeks, babies. A lot can and will happen in eight weeks.

I don't claim that MLB's relationship should excuse the players. But neither do I think that the players' poor decisions should absolve MLB from their open complicity. As for "many alternatives available," it's often the alternatives that get gamblers in the hole, intensifying the pressure to go into betting what they know in order to get out of it.

Sheesh, apart from Marcano, four more guys lose a year. MLB reaping what they've sown, but they don't care, because players are easier to dispose of than the profits they're getting from being in bed with gambling syndicates.

The Mets firstbaseman had a really ugly 0-for-5 as they barely escaped last night's game with the Nationals with an 8-7 victory. Maybe this Alonso guy is someone the Mets could acquire.

Padres infielder Tucupita Marcano facing a potential lifetime ban for gambling, according to reporting by The Wall Street Journal. Apparently, the violations occurred while he was with the Pirates last season.

I think there are plenty of up and comers. At least, potentially so.

Well, .239 isn't really .200, but we'll see where things are at in eight weeks.

REALLY on the road again....London Stadium

On the sea again. -
This was sort of a must-miss for us. It came off in its marketing as corporate apologetics disguised as entertainment.

A misfit high-school senior named Leon becomes convinced that he is the re-incarnation of Leon Trotsky, driving his family and school and other authorities crazy by trying to organize the masses to revolt against the system, wherever he encounters it.

Yeah, indeed, I stress the could.
-
He may well be Iglesias' replacement in Syracuse.
-
Gosh that's getting ahead of things, no?
-
I associate him with Jeff King, and Gregg Jefferies for that matter. Guys who are way too famous coming up and end up spending a good part of their big league career fighting themselves.
-
This was my first time seeing it. Tip of the fedora to Donald Sutherland, who appears after the halfway point in the movie and conveys a whole second film's worth of information in about 10 minutes.
-
The guy he brought to trial was Clay Stone, Tommy Lee Jones' character.
-
Yeah, that's pretty much where I'm at. Stone can get terrific performances out of actors, including actors you'd never have guessed. To what end, though, is up in the air. He had me believing a whole bunch of stuff, and then by the end, Garrison makes a closing argument, and I'm moved to great patriotism and a deep commitment to the truth, and then he turns it over to the jury, and I'm thinking, "Nobody can convict on that. It's a big stupid mess that barely ties in anybody, let alone the guy you're prosecuting." Glad I finally saw it, though.

When transformative young president John is murdered, the investigation quickly centers around Lee, an oddball ex-Marine of nebulous ideology, who proclaims himself a patsy. When Lee is subsequently murdered, crusading New Orleans District Attorney Jim is the only one who believes him, and his subsequent investigation opens up a criminal conspiracy so vast that I'll probably be killed shortly after hitting submit on this post.

I went for four. I could be convinced to elevate it to five. It kind of conflates itself with The Year of Living Dangerously in my head (scary times for foreign correspondents in a tumultuous time for a South Pacific nation), but is probably a better film despite a more quotidian approach.

I dunno, but it's not like gambling interests haven't made many a fortune by using freebies to get newbies into the house.

Two cool Whitey Herzog facts: 1) His full given name was Norrel Norman Elvert Herzog. 2) He and Mary Lou (née Sinn) Herzog were married for 71 years.
-
I guess that suggests the proportion of suckers in the betting pool is up.

That's some dry tone.

A FB friend o' mine was lucky enough to interview Erskine as a journalist. Carl had started the first game for the Dodgers in Los Angeles, before a crowd of something like 90,000. Making matters more complicated was that he was without his longtime catcher, Roy Campanella, whose career famously ended in a car wreck the previous off-season. New catcher Johnny Roseboro sensed that Erskine was un-nerved by the massive crowd and Opening Day atmosphere, so kept firing the ball back to the pitcher, hoping to keep his focus on the task at hand. This, of course, contrasted markedly with the style of the genial Campanella, who liked to return the ball with nice, easy soft-tosses. Carl finally called time and motioned for Roseboro to come talk with him at the mound. The young catcher asked what was wrong. "Nothing," Oisk told him. "It's just that the catcher isn't supposed to throw harder than the pitcher."
