Rockies pitchers combine on a tidy 25-hitter as Blue Jays romp in Mile High opener
One pitch into the evening and one could sense this was going to be a game the Blue Jays began to clear the stench of a recent stretch that saw them drop six of their previous eight. Article content Nathan Lukes lashed Tanner Gordon's first offering to centre for a double and the hit parade was on — 25 in all, as the Jays pounded the Rockies 15-1 to maintain their three-game lead on the Boston Red Sox atop the AL East. Article content Article content Article content Monday night's game was played at Coors Field in Denver, where no lead, even the most lopsided, is ever safe, as evidenced last Friday when the Rockies trailed the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-1 before storming back for a 17-16 walk-off win. Article content The Blue Jays, however, are not the Pirates. Some statistical tidbits to chew on: Article content ♦ With one out in the third inning, the Jays, collectively, had already hit for the cycle. Article content ♦ Through three innings, they had compiled 12 hits and nine runs, while striking out but once. Article content ♦ By the fourth, every Toronto starter had recorded a hit. By the eighth, every Jays starter — except for Vlad Guerrero Jr., who went 1-for-5 — had a multi-hit game. Article content ♦ By game's end 11 different Jays batters had recorded a hit. Article content ♦ Ernie Clement went 5-for-6 for his first career five-hit game while Lukes, Joey Loperfido and Bo Bichette had three hits apiece. Article content The 25-hit barrage did fall short of the team record of 29, set in July of 2022 in a 28-5 pasting of the Red Sox at Fenway Park. Article content The litany of hits, however, shouldn't overshadow how well the Jays played defensively — especially in the outfield, where Daulton Varsho and Lukes made highlight-reel catches — and how starter Eric Lauer pitched. The lefty was his usual efficient self, allowing one run in six innings on seven hits and a walk. He struck out four. Article content The Jays needed a break in the schedule and were afforded one, facing the Rockies (30-82) in the opener of a three-game series, which will be viewed as successful only if a sweep is achieved. Article content The following are three takeaways on a night the Blue Jays hit three home runs — two by Bichette — and Varsho's first since his recent return from the injured list, coming in a seven-run third inning Article content BO KNOWS HITTING Article content Bo Bichette's dad, Dante, hit 201 of his career 274 homers when he suited up for the Rockies. Article content Bo isn't as accomplished as his fatther when it comes to the long-ball, but he sure knows how to hit.

Loni Anderson's portrayal of Jennifer Marlowe in WKRP in Cincinnati skewered stereotypes
Loni Anderson, who died Sunday at 79, auditioned for the role of Chrissy Snow on Three's Company before the sitcom's debut on ABC in the late seventies. Though she wowed the producers, the relatively unknown actress did not get the job. Apparently, Anderson was too beautiful and too savvy for the envisioned simple-minded, apartment-sharing secretary character. The role instead went to Suzanne Somers, who won a People's Choice Award in 1978 for her performance and later made a fortune mastering thighs. And Anderson? The actress soon distinguished herself and found fame as receptionist Jennifer Marlowe in CBS's beloved radio station-set TV series, WKRP in Cincinnati. The irony of it all was that the Marlowe character skewered the ditzy blonde stereotype exemplified by Somers's Chrissy Snow. Anderson's tight-dressed, cool-headed bombshell was the rare voice of reason in a hapless radio station full of renegades and utter incompetents. The vivacious, self-possessed Marlowe established her ground rules in the first scene of WKRP's debut episode in 1978 by easily swatting away the lascivious advances of plaid-suited sales manager Herb Tarlek (played by Frank Bonner), as if he were a harmless housefly. Then, she moved on to the newly-hired program director Andy Travis (Gary Sandy), wielding her impressive curves near him while admonishing men who only wanted sex. 'You're not like that, are you,' she said. Coming from her it wasn't a question, it was a stipulation. Popular 1980s actor Loni Anderson of hit TV series 'WKRP in Cincinnati' has died at 79 Marlowe received phone calls and visitors efficiently. She shielded bumbling station manager Arthur Carlson (played beautifully by Gordon Jump) from important mail and meaningful decisions. Subservient tasks were beneath her. Carlson: 'I would like to dictate a press release.' Marlowe: 'I don't take dictation.' Carlson: 'It's probably going to be a long meeting, though, so why don't you get coffee for all the guys here?' Marlowe: 'I don't get coffee, Mr. Carlson, we agreed. You have to draw the line somewhere. Will there be anything else I can do?' Carlson: 'No, I think that just about does it.' Before landing the WKRP job, Anderson actually appeared in a Three's Company episode as an old flame of John Ritter's lead character, the skirt-chasing Jack Tripper. In Chris Mann's 1998 book, Come and Knock on Our Door, Ritter said the reason Anderson didn't get the Three's Company role was that she was too poised for the character: 'No one would believe she couldn't live in her own apartment, that she would have to struggle to get the rent paid.' She was a better fit on WKRP. It was revealed in a 1979 episode that receptionist Marlowe was the highest-paid station employee, with a salary of US$24,000 per year. Adjusted for inflation, that's more than US$100,000 today. In season three, the impossibly wealthy Marlowe bought a large house in the suburbs. In the classic Turkeys Away episode, a Thanksgiving promotion at the station, involving live gobblers dropped from a helicopter, went horribly wrong. As chaos ensued, Marlowe stayed calm. 'A lot of turkeys don't make it through Thanksgiving,' she rationally explained to an irate caller to the station. Anderson's Marlowe winked at the cliché of the hair-brained blonde by posing as that type to gaslight a program consultant hired to straighten out the station. On another episode, she spoofed a breathy sexpot caricature by aping Marilyn Monroe's famous birthday serenade for the commander-in-chief John F. Kennedy at Madison Square Garden in 1962. For her WKRP acting, Anderson earned two Emmy Award nominations and three Golden Globe nominations. To this day, men who were young during WKRP's four-season run from 1978 to 1982 still proudly express their preference for Jan Smithers (who played the brown-haired ingenue Bailey Quarters) over Anderson. They see themselves as virtuous by siding with the girl next door instead of the voluptuous platinum blonde. The truth is, much like the TV characters who lusted after Marlowe, many men are intimidated by overt, confident sexuality. Whenever Marlowe playfully suggested she might submit to Tarlek's goofy advances, the married sales manager hyperventilated. His bluff called, the ridiculous man who wore matching white belts and shoes was the dog who finally caught the car. Because Tarlek was out of Marlowe's league. Almost everybody was.

With imminent success, McLaren must also deal with future disappointment
McLaren boss Zak Brown is preparing to deal with disappointment at the end of the Formula One season, even as the team enjoys one of its most dominant years and a 200th grand prix win at the weekend. As the title battle between Oscar Piastri and teammate Lando Norris heats up, the McLaren pair separated by just nine points after Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix, the American conceded he was thinking also about how to handle the aftermath. Red Bull's reigning champion Max Verstappen, the McLaren drivers' closest rival, is now 97 points off the pace and told reporters at the weekend that he may not win again this year given his car's issues. Even before the weekend, both Piastri and Norris cast caution aside and called it a two-horse race. One of them will surely end the year celebrating a dream come true. The other will rue what might have been, with a new engine era next season shaking everything up again and chances potentially disappearing. Losing always hurts, doubly so when it is to a teammate with the same car, and Brown said McLaren would have to deal with the situation sensitively when – although he still insisted on saying if – the time came. 'Eventually ... we'll just sit down and actually have a conversation and go, 'Right, one of you is going to win and it's going to be the best day of your life. One of you is going to lose. How do you want us to handle that?'' he told a select group of reporters. 'We'll actually sit down and go, 'Right, you want us to jump up and down and celebrate? This guy won'. So we're fully aware and sensitive to, 'How do you celebrate that situation?'' Australian Piastri has won six races to Norris's five but the Briton has momentum going into the August break, with three wins from his last four starts. The pair have had seven one-two finishes from 14 races, including the last four, and have left rivals trailing. McLaren is so far ahead in the constructors' standings – 299 points over Ferrari – that the crown is a given. Much has been made of the potential for a falling out between friends, for clashes on track given what is at stake, but Brown was sanguine and said the relationship was only growing stronger. When Norris ran into the back of Piastri as he challenged for the lead in Canada in June, the Briton defused the situation by immediately taking responsibility. Piastri locked up behind Norris in Hungary on Sunday, in what could have been a repeat of that Montreal accident, but no contact was made. Brown said there was no 'elephant in the room' at McLaren, with the drivers having complete transparency on strategy and how the team go about racing, and he expected more close calls in future. 'There's competitiveness brewing ... as the championship builds, I'm sure that tension will grow,' said the boss. 'We're fully anticipating them 'swapping paint' again at some point, I'm very confident it won't be deliberate, which is where you then get into the problems. 'They will have racing incidents in their further time here at McLaren, we know that and they know that, so we're not afraid of that. 'I'm positive they're never going to run each other off the track, and that's where you get into bad blood. So they're free to race ... there are rules around our racing, which is respect your teammate, they know that.'
