More MLB bullpen bungling

-

DVR Pre-Sleep Alert: While the Twins’ Paul Molitor isn’t as fantasy-stricken as Joe Girardi, he still has plenty of neo-managing moments when he culls his bullpen, pulling the effective reliever until finding the one who will be clobbered.

CBS continues to throw up busy graphics that don’t appear long enough to be read, let alone digested. Sunday’s Jags-Jets included a list of QB Blake Bortles by-down stats that vanished at the snap after approximat­ely two seconds.

Adding to the insufferab­le state of sports is Dwyane Wade, the 13-year pro who signed a one-year, $2.3 million deal with the Cavs, then, on Day 1, said he’d sure like to return to Miami to play for the Heat.

“Let’s Make A Deal’s” Monty Hall, who died Saturday at 96, was born in Winnipeg, which may explain why, during the 1959-60 NHL season, Hall and Jim Gordon called Rangers’ games on WINS. (Where would I/we be without sports radio historian David Halberstam?)

Paul Pierce, among the NBA’s most uncivil, petulant acts — 97 regular-season technicals, at least three ejections from

games — has been hired as an NBA studio analyst by — guess who? — ESPN, from where he can tell us right from wrong.

Take a check, take a knee: Has Roger Goodell publicly apologized yet for the $5.4 million NFL teams accepted from the taxpayer-funded Department of Defense to conduct now worthless patriotic pregame shows? As for Goodell’s PSLs are “good investment­s,” many resale-market seats to yesterday’s Jags-Jets went for $6.
