Armadillo: Saturday's six-pack
-- There is a chance Eldrick Woods could be DQ'd from the Masters for an illegal drop after he hit the ball into the water on the 15th hole Friday. By time you read this, the issue will be decided, but it will take lot of onions for the Augusta National people to shoot their TV ratings in the foot.
-- Kobe Bryant tore his achilles tendon Friday night in the Lakers' win over Golden State, tough injury to come back from. Is his career over?
-- Jose Reyes either severely sprained or broke his ankle Friday night, so the Blue Jays' bad start just got a whole lot worse.
-- Josh Donaldson hit a walk-off homer in the 12th inning, as the A's beat Detroit 4-3 for their ninth win in a row- they face Justin Verlander today.
-- Astros blanked the Angels 5-0, have now won three games in row, while the struggling Halos are 2-8.
-- Since 1921, only Lou Gehrig/Manny Ramirez had knocked in 19+ runs in his team's first 10 games; this year, both Chris Davis and John Buck have done it. Go figure.
*****
Armadillo: Saturday's List of 13: Clearing out a cluttered mind..........
13) Ugly incident in San Diego late Thursday night, when Carlos Quentin charged the mound after being hit with a 3-2 pitch by Zack Greinke, who wound up with a broken collarbone.
Seeing as Greinke makes $147M over the next six years and Is an outstanding pitcher, this one won’t die down soon.
12) Earth to Mr Quentin: Pitchers don’t drill you with 3-2 pitches.
He may have hit you on purpose before, but not Thursday. No way. For the record, Quentin gets hit by pitches a higher percentage of the time than any other player in baseball.
11) We’ll find out who MLB thinks its best umpiring crew is Monday, when the Padres visit Chavez Ravine. Quentin got 8-game suspension from MLB, but is appealing, so as long as he doesn't drop the appeal before Monday night, he'll be in leftfield Monday. Tensions will be high.
10) Looks like the SEC is about to join the Big Dozen and Pac-12 by having its own TV network. Hope DirecTV picks this one up.
9) Police in Dubai drive Lamborghinis and BMWs as patrol cars. Just thought you should know.
8) In his Masters career, Sergio Garcia is -14 on Thursday/Friday, +21 on the weekend. Not the best trend for his chances this week.
7) Someone on ESPN had this stat: Carmelo Anthony had 53 touches Thursday in Chicago, only passed the ball 12 times, for one assist.
If you want the ball on that team, you better rebound his missed shots, and there aren’t that many of those. Either that, or be on the floor when Anthony is sitting out.
6) There is a terrific shot blocker who is a high school junior named Goodluck Okonoboh. Kid’s parents actually named him Goodluck. Yikes. Better than no luck at all, I guess.
5) Rutgers may have landed on its feet if they hire alum/former NBA head coach Eddie Jordan as its new basketball coach. Makes you wonder why didn’t go after him before.
Hope the new AD approves, since it looks like they may hire the coach first, which would be an unusual step, but a necessary one, with recruiting season well underway.
4) Saint Louis Billikens finally hired Jim Crews as its fulltime basketball coach, after he served as interim coach this season after the death of Rick Majerus. Took them long enough, which gave off the impression that they might not have been that enthusiastic about hiring the guy.
3) In a 52-card deck, there are 2,598,960 possible poker hands.
2) Texas PG Myck Kabongo, who didn’t become eligible this year until February 13, is going into the NBA Draft. How about staying in school and working on your craft and becoming good enough so that you’re a top 15 pick? Longterm, that’s the better plan. Who advises these kids?
1) Greedy bastard update: OK, so the Mobil station on corner of Wolf/Sand Creek in beautiful downtown Colonie is $3.85 a gallon; a half-mile down the road, the Hess station charges $3.72.
Is the Mobil gas that much better? Are the greedy bastards at Hess that much less greedy than the very greedy bastards at Mobil? Why is this? As lazy as I am, even I would drive a half-mile each way to save 13 cents a gallon.

Armadillo: Sunday's six-pack
If the NHL playoffs started Sunday (they do not), these would be the first round matchups.......
EAST
#8 NY Rangers vs #1 Pittsburgh
#7 NY Islanders vs #2 Montreal
#6 Ottawa vs #3 Washington
#5 Toronto vs #4 Boston
WEST
#8 Dallas vs #1 Chicago
#7 Minnesota vs #2 Anaheim
#6 St Louis vs #3 Vancouver
#5 San Jose vs #4 Los Angeles
*****
Armadillo: Sunday's List of 13: Wrapping up a sports Saturday........
13) Listening to The Masters on TV has become disturbing, since there is obviously a gag order on any criticism of the course. Gary McCord made some wiseass comments (thats what he gets paid to do) a few years back, and hasn't been seen at Augusta since.
When you can almost hear the announcers walking on eggshells so they keep their jobs, it makes for bad TV, to the point where the mute button is the preferable option. Nick Faldo spoke his mind Saturday morning on the Golf Channel, but by 3:10 on CBS, he was towing the company line that letting Eldrick Woods play was the right thing to do.
At least Saturday morning was good TV, when it was out of the hands of some of the strangest people in America, the members at Augusta National.
12) Bottom line is this: TV ratings would've crashed if Eldrick Woods had WD or been DQ'd, and no one benefits from that, not CBS or the PGA Tour or the nitwits at Augusta. But from this point on, spare me the BS that golf is a game of honor moreso than other sports. Saturday proved otherwise.
11) Albert Pujols hit a walk-off double as Angels scored twice in the 8th, twice in the 9th to nip Houston 5-4, avoiding a 2-9 start, and also ending the Astros' three-game winning streak.
10) This is how my sports weekend has been: one of the ballgames showed a graphic with these three faces on it:
-- Jose Reyes, my fantasy SS, out three months (ankle).
-- Giancarlo Stanton, my fantasy RF, out for weekend (shoulder)
-- Yoenis Cespedes, A's LF, on 15-day DL (hand).
Freakin' awesome.
9) Indiana has 14 basketball players signed up for scholarships for 2013-14; problem is, they can only give out 13, so before next fall, someone will have to get the boot, or magically become ineligible. Last year at this time, Indiana had 15 kids for 13 spots; one sub transferred out, another flunked out.
Its a shady way of doing business, but also generally accepted.
8) Cullen Neal was all set to play PG for St Mary's next year, until his dad Craig became the head coach at New Mexico, so now the younger Neal will also be a Lobo. Bad news for the Gaels, who lose Matthew Dellavedova to graduation and need a point guard.
7) Philip Humber pitches for Houston Sunday; Kevin Slowey pitches for Miami. Its third start of season for both guys; their team was shut out in each of their first two starts. Hope they get some support Sunday.
6) Only six of 30 starting pitchers finished the 7th inning Saturday, with both Shields/Wainwright tossing complete games.
5) When I was a kid in the 70's, starting pitchers went much deeper into games, and closers generally got more more than three outs a game, so there were roster spots in the bullpen that weren't that important.
Nowadays, middle relievers are critical to a team's success, since starters generally only last six or so innings (100-110 pitches) and closers rarely are asked to get more than three outs. Those six outs in the 7th-8th innings are gotten now by guys who wouldn't have been on the mound 30-40 years ago, especially the 7th inning guys.
4) Glad Diamondbacks hired analyst Bob Brenly away from the Cubs; he's a regular guy who explains the game well-- never got that much of a chance to listen to him when he was in Chicago, since they play so many day games. The best TV broadcasts have a little laughter, a little discussion about current hot topics and a little silence to let the game breathe.
3) I love watching football. Spring football? Not so much.
Still think they should play exhibition games in full uniform and make some more money off the kids in the spring. Then I'd watch.
2) I can say it now: Papa John's pizza is the best pizza I've ever had.
1) Odds to win Masters, as of late Saturday night:
Snedeker 2-1, Scott 7-2, Cabrera 5-1, Woods 11-2, Day 7-1, Kuchar 10-1.

Sunday Night Baseball: Orioles at Yankees
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Orioles are on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball for the first time since 2008. They take on the Yankees in a battle of AL East foes.
Baltimore Orioles at New York Yankees (-135, 8.5)
AS THE INJURIES TURN
The Yankees were scheduled to have Andy Pettitte go on Sunday, but he was pushed back to Tuesday or Wednesday as he's dealing with back spasms. Manager Joe Girardi said it was a precautionary move and hopes that it won't be an issue in the future. Hiroki Kuroda will start in his Pettitte’s place on Sunday night. Kuroda has not been at his best so far early on, giving up five runs and nine hits in just over six innings of work. He walked four in a win over the Indians. The righty faced Baltimore three times last season, going 1-1 with a no-decision. He allowed seven runs and 17 hits in those contests.
SOLID SOUTHPAW FOR BALTIMORE
Wei-Yin Chen has not picked up a win yet this season despite pitching two fantastic ballgames. He has given up just five runs and 12 hits in road games against the Red Sox and Rays. The second year starter faced New York five times last season winning twice, while losing two times as well. Chen was a spectacular find for Baltimore going 12-11 with a 4.02 ERA in 32 starts for the Orioles last campaign. He showed good control walking only 57 in 192 2/3 innings, while striking out 154. Chen's one issue was that he gave up 29 homers which could become a problem with all the power hitters in the AL East.
INJURY REPORT
It's a tale of two different teams in this respect. Baltimore is without Brian Roberts and Wilson Betemit in the lineup. The Yankees, however, have a longer list of guys dealing with ailments. They are without Derek Jeter, Mark Teixeira, Curtis Granderson, and Alex Rodriguez. Jeter, Teixeira, and Granderson all hope to return by May, while A-Rod is looking at a July return. The rotation is without Michael Pineda who has not thrown a regular season pitch for the Bronx Bombers after undergoing Tommy John surgery last year. Pineda is expected to be out until June.
TRENDS
* The over is 5-2-1 in the Oriole’s last eight Sunday games.
* Orioles are 1-4 in Chen's last five road starts
* Yankees are 37-17 in their last 54 Sunday games
* The under is 4-1 in the Yankees’ last five games vs. a left-handed starter.
HITTERS TO WATCH
J.J. Hardy 1-for-10 vs. Kuroda
Nate McLouth 2-for-16 vs. Kuroda
Robinson Cano 3-for-11 vs. Chen
Kevin Youkilis 2-for-6 vs. Chen
