      Six-pack for Saturday

      -- Indians led 7-0 at Wrigley with Cliff Lee on mound Friday, but lost 8-7, the kind of loss that tends to get managers fired.

      -- Nationals won third game in row 2-1; they've allowed total of three runs in last three games, as Manny Acta clings to his job.

      -- Matuszaka is 1-5, 8.23 this season. Thanks, World Baseball Classic.

      -- Giambi, Cabrera came up with clutch hits in 8th inning as A's beat San Diego 7-5, in what resembled a PCL game more than an AL tilt.

      -- US Open leader Ricky Barnes is the son of former UCLA, Patriot punter Bruce Barnes, who punted in Foxboro in 1973-74.

      -- USC hired Kevin O'Neill as basketball coach; he's been head coach at Northwestern, so he's well-prepared for lean couple years Trojans are going to have until he can get some recruits into the Galen Center.

      Saturday's List of 13: Notes on the draft from AL perspective

      13) Minnesota's #1 pick has a stress fracture in his arm; of course, they don't have a shot at him unless he is hurt and might even be able to sign him for less, since he is injured. Small market teams can't afford to miss on their first round picks.

      12) 12 of Cleveland's top 22 picks were college kids; nine of their top 13 were pitchers.

      11) Indians will groom top pick Alex White to be their closer.

      10) The way the new Bronx ballpark is, they're going to have trouble in recruiting free agent pitchers; perhaps with that in mind, 11 of their top 15 draft selections this year were pitchers.

      9) Three of Seattle's top nine picks played at North Carolina; their 10th went to NC State. Only four of their top fifteen picks were pitchers.

      8) Texas drafted Ruben Sierra Jr in the sixth round, hoping he is as good as his dad, whose best days came with the Rangers.

      7) Two of Toronto's top three picks were lefty pitchers from Canada--their 50th and final pick was a pitcher from Semiahmoo HS in Spruce Grove, Alberta; wonder how long baseball season is there?

      6) Couple of kids got drafted from Skagit Valley College, which I never heard of; turns out it is a community college in state of Washington.

      5) Detroit drafted Austin Wood in 5th round; he is the kid who tossed 13 innings (169 pitches) in an NCAA tournament game, so we know he doesn't need a pitch count. He'll be a situational lefty for the Tigers.

      4) 12 of the A's top 14 picks were college kids, as usual; they selected Blake Crosby (Bobby's brother) in 42nd round. Ed Crosby scouts for the A's. Hope this kid is more durable than his brother has been.

      3) LSU OF Jared Mitchell also played football in Baton Rouge, catching passes for the Tigers. He got drafted by White Sox GM Ken Williams, whose son is a punt returnerfor Arizona State.

      2) Tyler Skaggs got drafted by the Angels out of Santa Monica HS-- is there a better place in America to go to high school than Santa Monica, where you can hang out down by the pier whenever you like. Nice.

      1) Six of Kansas City's top seven picks were pitchers; their top pick is Missouri Tiger Crow, was not only was Washington's top pick LY, but stands to be the first Mizzou alum to play for the Royals.
