Armadillo: Tuesday's six-pack

-- Tigers' payroll this year is $172,792,250; not money well-spent.

-- Dodgers' payroll went up another $300K last night, when Brett Anderson went over 150 innings for the season.

-- Matt Kemp is making $21,250,000 this year; Dodgers are paying $18M of it.

-- Steelers have already lost two kickers; they'll need to sign a third with Garrett Hartley pulling a leg muscle last week..

-- Saskatchewan Roughriders are 0-9; they fired their coach and GM Monday, with the CFL season half over, but they're favored this week-- how bad is Winnipeg?

-- Marlins' payroll is $69,031,500; they're getting $22.5M from other teams to help pay it. Taxpayers in Miami got cheated when they built Jeffrey Loria a stadium.

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

13) Definition of a bad day: Someone on Twitter was saying that a buddy of his was going to win the semi-final game in his fantasy baseball league last week-- the only way he could lose was if Jake Arrieta threw a no-hitter Sunday night. Oy.

12) Buffalo Bills named Tyrod Taylor their starting QB; in his four years as Ravens' (mainly) #3 QB, Taylor never started a game, completing 19-35 passes for 199 yards in 14 games. He can run, gaining 136 yards on 27 carries. We shall see; he has been around the NFL for 4+ years now; that has to help some.

11) Then there is Tampa Bay thrusting Jameis Winston into the starting spot right off the bat; last year, Winston threw 18 INTs-- Florida State turned the ball over more than every team in America, except New Mexico State. Think about that; Florida State has more talent than almost every team they play, yet they were -6 in turnovers, and now Winston is playing in the NFL behind an OL starting two rookies.

I hope they're patient with Mr Winston; its going to take some time.

9) In his first ten games with the Giants, Marlon Byrd has 17 RBI.

8) Outfielders acquired at the deadline last night-- in order to be eligible for the playoffs, guys had to be with a team before September 1:
-- Braves traded Jonny Gomes to the Royals.
-- Boston traded Alejandro de Aza to the Giants.
-- Mariners traded Justin Ruggiano to the Dodgers
-- Mariners also traded Austin Jackson, but to the Cubs.

7) Before the sixth inning last night, Dodgers had gone 47 innings without a HR.

6) It is funny to me that catchers aren't supposed to bitch at umps while they're at bat, since they want those same pitches called strikes when they're behind the plate. Am guessing some interesting discussions happen when the catchers get back behind the plate after being called out on strikes.

5) As I type this I'm flipping between the A's game and an episode of Law and Order; the judge in this episode is Billie Jean King, the tennis star, whose half-brother was a guy named Randy Moffitt, a pretty good relief pitcher in the 70's (96 saves), mostly for the Giants.

4) Mike Trout is a big fan of meteorology; there are rumors he may do some work for the Weather Channel at some point.

3) Dennis Eckersley came right out and said it before the Red Sox game last night: he doesn't think Hanley Ramirez can become a first baseman. We'll see.

2) Lakers signed a 32-year old Brazilian point guard named Marcelinho Huertas, who is regarded as one of Euroleague's best playmakers.

1) Since 1999, Washington Redskins have had eight coaches, 16 starting QBs.
