Idle Thoughts, while waiting for Game Seven, the Cy Young for CC Sabathia and the first letter to the editor of the summer from an indignant youth sports parent:

• Dr. Idle, Dr. I to his close friends, has spent the last 25 years honing his various theories on life.

Here is one of them:

There are more dopes in the media per capita than any other endeavor in the history of the world.

Example: After Fitch High won the state softball title last week, somebody from some dot com contrivance asked whiz kid pitcher Caroline Taber the following:

"Where are you going to college?"

"Princeton," she said.

"Princeton?" he replied. "Where's that?"

(The eavesdropping Dr. I dropped his head and sighed.)

Taber said, "Princeton, New Jersey."

• Yes, Dr. I is following both Copa and Euro 2016.

Two observations:

One: When discussing futbol, Dr. I would like to be known as "Dr. Chicharito," after Dr. I's new favorite player.

Two: Forza Italia!

• Why don't they all try as hard as Kelly Faris?

• Question for Yankee fans:

Who's better: Carlos Beltran or Bernie Williams?

Dr. I asks because of the recent chatter about Beltran's Hall of Fame status.

• Just thinking out loud here, but, you know, Dr. I's life would be happier if Ayesha Curry never hit "send" ever again.

• Dr. I would like to thank John Smoltz for spending an inning teaching us about "spin rate" the other night.

You just can't get enough information on baseball from people who dream about math class.

• Not that Dr. I would ever be one of those "I-told-you-so" kind of guys, but how's Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis doing in the WNBA so far?

• Seems the Golden State Warriors were a bunch of swell guys when they were winning 73 regular-season games.

A little adversity hits and we get groin kickings, suspensions and mouthpiece tossings.

Immaturity, anyone?

• In case you missed it: Boston College's baseball team finished a win away from the College World Series.

But the Eagles can't compete in the ACC, right?

• In case you missed it, part two: Boston University has decided to sell the building in Kenmore Square on top of which the Citgo sign sits.

Note to the new buyer: We must save the Citgo sign.

• Good thing the Yanks don't read the papers.

Because the people who cover them have ordered them to trade Beltran, Miller, Betances and Chapman already.

With 100 games left.

• Ichiro vs. Pete Rose?

How about this: They're both overrated.

Two banjo hitters.

• Dr. I is happy to announce theday.com's new show coming Thursday: "Casey and the Sports Doctor."

Casey O'Neill and Keith O'Brien, the faces and voices of "GameDay," will be talking about sports and life in general with special guest stars.

Can't wait.

• Tweet of the week comes from Peter Abraham, formerly of the Norwich Bulletin, who covers the Red Sox for the Boston Globe:

"Politicians need to pass better laws, not pass on their thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers don't seem to be working."

• Congrats to East Lyme High grad Carly Thibault, who just joined the Mississippi State women's basketball coaching staff.

Carly T is going to be a hell of a head coach someday.

• As youth baseball/softball season commences, try to remember: Go to the game, root for your kid and try not to be an idiot.

This is the opinion of Day sports columnist Mike DiMauro.
