SEATTLE -- Josh Hamiltons attempt to beat out an infield
grounder with a headfirst slide into first base landed
him on the bench for up to two months. The 2010 AL MVP
was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday by the
Los Angeles Angels with a torn ligament in his left
thumb. He was hurt trying to hustle down the line and
beat out a grounder in the seventh inning of Tuesday
nights loss to Seattle. Hamilton was thrown out, but the
consequences of his decision ended up being far greater.
"The news sucks. Anytime you play and youre playing hard
and having fun, the last thing you want to do is do
something that is going to cause you to miss time and
maybe hurt your team in the long run," Hamilton said. "If
I could see the future, obviously, I wouldnt do it." Los
Angeles said an MRI Wednesday revealed a complete tear of
the thumbs ulnar collateral ligament. After initially
saying hand and wrist specialist Dr. Steven Shin would
operate at Kerlan-Jobe Orthopedics in Los Angeles, the
Angels said Hamilton will be examined by Shin on Friday
to determine whether surgery is needed. Hamilton was
placed on the 15-day disabled list, and outfielder J.B.
Shuck was recalled from Triple-A Salt Lake. Hamilton said
he believed it was just a jammed thumb, but when he tried
throwing in the outfield between innings he knew
something might be wrong. Hamilton told manager Mike
Scioscia to have someone pinch hit for him in the ninth.
Ian Stewart batted for Hamilton and struck out with the
potential tying run on base in a 5-3 loss. "Its
definitely unfortunate but I think as a team you have to
be able to absorb and be deep enough to absorb injuries
to players and Josh is a special talent who is off to a
great start for us. Well do our best to fill that void,"
Scioscia said. "Over the years, weve had a lot of our key
players miss significant time, but weve been able to
absorb it and move on. Thats what we have to focus on
doing now for the next six, eight weeks, whatever the
time frame is going to end up being." Scioscia said the
Angels lineup could see mixing and matching while
Hamilton is out. Collin Cowgill was in the lineup in left
field and leading off, with Kole Calhoun dropped to sixth
in the order and Howie Kendrick moved up to Hamiltons
usual No. 5 slot. A five-time All-Star, Hamilton has
struggled since signing a $125 million, five-year
contract with the Angels before the 2013 season. He hit a
career-low .250 last year with 21 homers and 79 RBIs, his
poorest power numbers since 2009. He was batting .207
with 25 RBIs through June 23, then hit .289 with 54 RBIs
during the rest of the season. Hamilton strained a calf
muscle during a baserunning drill on Feb. 25 and didnt
play in his first spring training game until March 17. He
is hitting .444 with two homers and six RBIs in 27 at-
bats this season. Hamilton believes he can still keep his
timing down with his swing even while hes sidelined.
"Disappointing in general that youve got to miss some
time, because as a player you prepare the whole off-
season to come in and do what you can to help contribute
to your team winning ballgames," he said. "Thats the most
disappointing part of the injury." The injury rekindled
the debate about sliding into first base. Hamilton wasnt
the only player to make that choice in Tuesdays game.
Seattles Michael Saunders had an awkward slide into first
base running out a ground ball. "Its just part of who I
am. Ive done that a lot," Hamilton said. "Who knows if I
will ever do that again?"

Pospisil, whose season-ending goal is to improve his ATP
Tour ranking enough to qualify for one of the 32 seedings
at Januarys Australian Open, dominated Karlovic in 59
minutes. The world No. 40 never faced a break point and
limited the big mans threatening ace count to a mere
eight, while striking five key aces of his own.World
championship leader Nico Rosberg set the pace from Lewis
Hamilton by two tenths of a second as the Mercedes team-
mates battle for the title recommenced at the Japanese GP
on Friday morning. Five days after Hamiltons spectacular
engine blow-up in Malaysia handed Rosberg a 23-point
championship lead, it was the German who led the early
running at Suzuka with his advantage on both the soft and
medium tyres two tenths of a second.I thought that was a
very confident start from Nico, said Sky F1s Johnny
Herbert. You could see when the car was riding the kerbs
there was a lot of positivity. Mercedes overall advantage
over the field was ominous - a full second over next best
Ferrari - at a circuit they have dominated on in F1s
hybrid turbo era.Distracted Hamilton under fireBut
Malaysia winners Red Bull are expecting another
competitive weekend on a circuit that also plays to their
aero strengths and they played themselves in gently in P1
with Daniel Ricciardo and Max Verstappen fifth and sixth
respectively after only running the slower medium tyres.
Ricciardo trialled a new front wing on his RB12, with
downforce well rewarded around the sweeping figure-of-
eight Suzuka circuit.The two-by-two order was maintained
by Force India in seventh and eighth, who also set their
best times on mediums, with Fernando Alonso ninth for
McLaren despite an early spin at Spoon curve which
damaged his rear wing. The Spaniard is running the engine
upgrade Honda trialled at Sepang.Romain Grosjean also
made contact with the barriers, at the ever-tricky second
Degner, but his crash was more conceerning with the
brakes once again appearing to cause fundamental problems
on his Haas car.ddddddddddddThe Frenchman crashed out of
last Sundays race when his brake discs exploded.The
brakes didnt brake, deadpanned Grosjean, who has said he
will back off in his radio criticisms of the cars
handling and performance. Meanwhile, although Jolyon
Palmers luck had appeared to turn with his first F1
points finish at Sepang, the Renault driver hit fresh
misfortune in Practice One as an electrical fault meant
he propped up the timesheet after completing just 13
laps.Practice One timesheet1. Nico Rosberg, Mercedes,
