Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

-- Seattle traded Ichiro Suzuki to the Bronx July 23; since then, Mariners are 25-14, the Bronx Bombers 19-21.

-- Tigers lost 3-2 at home to Cleveland for the second night in row, not the best way to make the playoffs.

-- Chicago Cubs have used 52 different players this season; they used 21 guys last night, but All-Star Bryan LaHair wasn't one of them.

-- White Sox hit 10 doubles but lost 18-9 to the Twins; they're first team since 1935 to hit 10+ doubles and lose.

-- Orioles are 76-59, despite scoring 19 less runs than they've allowed.

-- 17,648 in Washington tonight; 16,686 in Atlanta, 17,652 in St Pete. Not real good for big games in September.


**********


Armadillo: Wednesday's LIst of 13: Nobody asked me, but...........

13) Last time the Red Sox started a road trip 0-7 was back in 1960, when I was less than a year old, but had more hair than I do now.

12) One lucky soul put $3,000 on 36-point underdog Texas State to win SU at Houston last week; when the Bobcats pulled the monumental upset, the guy had himself a ticket worth $105,000. He didn’t even have to sweat much; State led 27-10 at the half.

11) What is Savannah State thinking about? Football team lost 84-0 at Oklahoma State last week (but cashed a check for $385,000); this week, its Florida State in Tallahassee, which could be a similar result, although the paycheck figures to be bigger, too.

10) Final attendance results for the Saratoga thoroughbred meet (located 25 miles north of Armadillo World Headquarters) shows attendance up an average of 173 fans a day, with handle up 3.3%. One big factor in the track’s factor was the near-perfect weather here this summer.

9) UCLA started five freshmen on offense at Rice last week; its usually a bad sign when you’re starting freshmen in bigtime college football, but the returning players haven’t done much in Westwood, so the young kids get a shot.

8) Speaking of UCLA, Bruin basketball fans are holding their breath the NCAA makes freshman hoop standouts Shabazz Muhammad and Kyle Anderson eligible; school doesn’t start at UCLA until September 27. Practice starts October 12.

7) Houston Astros are first team since 1916 to go 8-47 in any 55-game stretch of a season. They just don’t have many good players.

6) I usually like watching Pawn Stars on History Channel, but now they have Rick’s son Corey doing more on camera, and he’s not likeable. He comes off as a big, dumb guy with a wise mouth, so I’d rather not have him lecturing on the history of stuff that gets brought into the shop.

Case in point: on one episode, George Stephanopolous came into the shop; Corey and Chumlee had no idea, as in zero, who he is. Brilliant!!!!

5) Xavier booted their best returning basketball player out of school for an off-campus incident, even though the authorities never pressed charges; Dez Wells winds up at Maryland playing for Mark Turgeon. Hope he takes advantage of his second chance.

4) Quietly, the Royals are playing better, especially at home; they’ve won eight of Bruce Chen’s last nine home starts.

3) By all means, keep wheeling Raul Ibanez out there. Guy is 2 for his last 33, can't play the outfield worth a damn, while Ichiro Suzuki sits on the bench. Pretty lame lineup for a team with a $200M payroll.

2) Did you see the clip of the kid on Kent State running the wrong way with a muffed punt last week? If not, you have to go to Youtube and find it; he is sprinting down the sideline, towards the wrong goal line, and three guys on the other team are desperately chasing him, oblivious to fact that he’s running the wrong way. Total chaos when the play ends.

Towson State coaches are yelling at the kid who made the tackle, thinking it cost them two points, when in reality, its against the rules to advance a muffed punt, even if you’re advancing it the wrong way. Been a long time since that happened.

1) You think you had a bad weekend? Boxer Floyd Mayweather bet $3M on Michigan Saturday night. That’s million with an M. That’s also a very rough day.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wednesday's streaking and slumping starting pitchers
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

STREAKING

Ryan Dempster, Texas Rangers (9-6, 2.87)

Dempster allowed one run over six innings of a 5-3 win over Cleveland on Friday night. The right-hander has picked up wins in three consecutive starts with a 1.35 ERA over that stretch. He takes on the Royals in Kansas City next.

Clayton Richard, San Diego Padres (12-12, 3.74)

Richard gave up three runs over 6 1/3 innings to pick up the win against the Rockies on Friday. August was a stellar month for the lefty, who went 5-1 with a 2.44 ERA over 44 2/3 innings. He takes the bump in Los Angeles against the Dodgers in his next outing.


SLUMPING

Madison Bumgarner, San Francisco Giants (14-9, 3.07)

Bumgarner lasted just four innings, surrendering four runs in Friday’s loss to the Cubs. The left-hander has taken back-to-back losses for the first time since late May and will try to turn things around against the Diamondbacks on Wednesday.

Aaron Cook, Boston Red Sox (3-8, 5.35)

Cook was lit up for six runs on seven hits over just 2 2/3 innings against the A's on Friday. The righty is now 0-3 with a 7.11 ERA over his last four starts. He takes the mound at pitcher-friendly Safeco Field against the Mariners next.

Wednesday's betting tips: Witten doubtful vs. Giants

Weather watch

There is a 60 percent chance of rain in the nation’s capital where the Nationals host the Cubs Wednesday night. Thunderstorms will give way to showers later in the evening, dropping the temperatures into the mid 70s at Nationals Park.

Betting news and notes

-- The Giants and Cowboys kick off the start of the new NFL season but could do it without key components of their offense. Dallas tight end Jason Witten is doubtful for Wednesday after suffering a lacerated spleen in a preseason game on Aug. 13. “If I get cleared, I'm playing,” Witten told reporters this weekend. As for New York, WR Hakeem Nicks is still a question mark due to soreness in his surgically repaired foot. Giants coach Tom Coughlin told the media he expects Nicks to play.

-- The Angels will be looking to move 11 games over .500 for the first time this season. They have been denied in their previous five attempts. Los Angeles is -105 favorite in Oakland.
