Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

Athlon college football magazine's six best offensive lines this year:

6) Auburn-- Despite having no senior starters on line this year.

5) Arkansas-- Four starters back; they averaged 5.1 ypc last year.

4) Baylor-- Have four senior starters protecting a new QB.

3) Ohio State- Four starters back; allowed 15 sacks in Big 14 last year.

2) Michigan State-- Four starters back; averaged 5.2 ypc last year.

1) Georgia-- New offensive coordinator, new OL coach, same good linemen.

**********

Armadillo: Tuesday's List of 13: Nobody asked me, but.......

13) Ducks 5, Blackhawks 4 OT-- Three of five series games have gone OT; Chicago scored two goals in last 1:47 to tie game, then Ducks won game with goal 0:45 into overtime. Anaheim leads series 3-2.

12) Weirdness in Milwaukee yesterday; Khris Davis homered, then appeared to miss home plate as he rounded bases. Giants appealed play, the umps called Davis out, the Brewers challenged via replay and the call was overturned, so the run counted, but Davis got lucky-- very close call.

Later in the game, Davis homered again and made very sure he stepped on the plate. I had never seen that happen before, except in a Babe Ruth game.

11) Good news if you watch college football on ESPN; Matt Millen is jumping from ESPN to the Big Ten Network. Muy bueno!!!! Millen was one of the worst executives in NFL history; he doesn't deserve an analyst job.

10) Aaron Boone-Mark Mulder-Dave O'Brien are a solid broadcast team for ESPN on Monday night games. O'Brien does radio for the Red Sox and is good at basketball, too. Boone/Mulder discuss baseball and teach you things.

9) When the Mets got swept in Pittsburgh this weekend, it was the first time in MLB history a team swept a three-game series, with starting pitcher winning all three games while each striking out 10+ hitters.

8) Seattle-Tampa Bay game Monday was first game in MLB history where both managers had played in the Little League World Series.

7) The great musician Bob Dylan turned 74 Monday. Happy birthday, sir.

6) Mets have a reserve infielder named Danny Muno; his dad was a punter at Notre Dame when Joe Montana was playing there.

5) Oakland A's won 24 games LY in their last at-bat, tied for most in majors; this year, they have zero such wins, which is alarming, to me at least......lol

4) Dan Uggla (13), Chase Utley (11) have the most home runs of any visiting player in brief history of Citi Field.

3) Interesting situation in Anaheim late last night; tie game, bottom of 9th, the Angels have runners on 1st/3rd, two out, Trout is up, Pujols is on deck. This is not second guessing, because as I sat here in my palacial estate, I said it at the time it happened: THERE IS NO WAY YOU WALK ANYONE TO PITCH TO ALBERT PUJOLS, never, ever, ever.

Plus Craig Kimbrel is pitching; he's really good. But the Padres walk Trout and Pujols wins the game with a single, then flashes a dirty look into the Padre dugout. Its why managers get paid a lot and why guys that lose get fired.

2) Cubs are 12-10 in one-run games; thats half their games so far this year.

1) Early favorite to be Super Bowl 50 matchup: Seahawks-Colts, at 15-1

Rangers lost six of last eight games with Tampa Bay this season; they were outscored 31-21 in eight games- seven of last ten series games went over total. Rangers gave up 14 goals in three series losses- they allowed total of seven goals in their last five wins. There were 39 faceoffs in Game 5, after first the four games averaged 54.8, so a lot fewer stoppages, which apparently was in Lightning's favor. Rangers need win here to force decisive Game 7 in their building later this week. No overtime games in this series, so far.
