Armadillo: Thursday's six-pack

-- Josh Hamilton hurt his thumb, is out 6-8 weeks. Bad news for the Angels.

-- Wisconsin-Milwaukee got a lousy APR score, is ineligible for postseason play this year, after winning the Horizon tournament last month.

-- Victor Martinez caught for the first time this year, hit game-winning homer in 10th inning as Detroit outlasted the Dodgers 7-6 in LA.

-- Pacers won at Milwaukee despite sitting their starters, taking top seed in East back since Miami lost in Memphis.

-- Atlanta held off the Mets 4-3; Ervin Santana was impressive in his first start in the National League.

-- There are 24 first-time entrants at The Masters this year. A lot.

*****

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

13) An unnamed baseball executive floated the idea of seven-inning major league games with Buster Olney this week; this is similar to the idea Charlie Finley had 45 years ago, when he suggested a walk be three balls and a strikeout two strikes.

Myself? I like baseball the way it is; if you want to shorten games, cut out some of the TV commercials (egads!?!?!?) or don’t let managers/pitching coaches go to the mound to visit pitchers. Those two things along would make a big difference.

12) NFL can't possibly think people get excited about the release of their preseason schedule; its the regular season schedule we want. Hopefully within ten days.

11) Nets went 4-0 vs Miami this season, with three wins by a single point; they are only third team in NBA history to beat the same team three times by a point in the same season. Brooklyn-Miami playoff series would be very interesting.

10) Weather Channel is back on DirecTV; not even sure why it was off, but they had some other bogus weather channel on in its place. I use my IPhone for the weather now. Groundskeepers in Oakland should watch Weather Channel, so they know when to cover the field. You know, in case it rains.

9) UConn was 100-1 to win the national championship on Selection Sunday.

Speaking of UConn, Ryan Boatright got offered a scholarship by USC…….when he was in 8th grade. Former coach Tim Floyd (now at UTEP) has a sharp eye, knew the kid was going to be a real good player.

8) Marlins’ pitcher Jacob Turner got scratched from his Wednesday start and is on the DL because he hurt his shoulder during batting practice Tuesday. Turner is 4-51 at the plate in the majors. Oy.

7) Lakers scored 130 points Tuesday…..and lost by 15.

6) Speaking of the Lakers, Marshall hasn’t named its new basketball coach, fueling speculation it’ll be Marshall alum Mike D’Antoni, once the Lakers can him at the end of the regular season. One of the Herd’s better players wants to transfer, but the school won’t release him, probably figuring D’Antoni will be able to re-recruit the kid, once he gets to Huntington.

5) Pirate closer Jason Grilli’s agent is former big league slugger Gary Sheffield. Really, Sheffield is an agent now.

4) Nike increased the prices of its most expensive NFL jerseys, the ones closest to what the players wear, from $250 to $295. The less expensive replica jerseys are staying the same price- they actually sell more of those.

3) You can get 80-1 in Las Vegas that Phil Mickelson will get a hole-in-one this week at Augusta; that seems low to me, but that’s the number.

2) Ryan Braun has 23 RBI in 21 career games at Citizens Bank ballpark in Philly. He had seven RBI in Tuesday’s game. Brewers are already 5-0 on the road.

1) Speaking of three-HR games, Hank Aaron only had one in his brilliant career, against the Giants in 1959, at old Seals Stadium.

He also never hit 50 homers in a season; hard to believe, but true.
