AL Central Wagering
BetUS Sportsbook has posted sports betting odds on the eventual winners in every one of Major League Baseball's six divisional races, and in the AL Central things seem to be going the way of the Chicago White Sox, who as of Thursday have a lead of 5.5 baseball betting games over their closest rival. Will the White Sox blow away the pack, or will this become a tight one? We'll examine that in this update.

Griffey Out, Nation Yawns
News flash: Ken Griffey Jr. is out for the season.Now, far be it from me to high-five my friends and neighbors, or walk around my town square telling total strangers "I-told-you-so" in a manner that causes them to stuff quarters into my shirt pocket. But Griffey finding himself permanently parked is about as surprising as the ending of M. Night Shyamalan's latest, The Village. Which is to say: not very surprising.This will be the fourth consecutive season that the petulant Cincinnati Reds "slugger" Griffey won't conclude the season with his mates. This time it's a torn hammy.... cont. |

Frank Robinson Comes Clean: There Is No Rocky Biddle
I recently happened upon beleaguered Expos manager Frank Robinson,

Frank?"
FRANK ROBINSON: "Oh, I'm fine. It's a long season. We take 'em one

coaches are doing a tremendous job. We've got great veteran leadership ... cont. |
Ricky Redux
You don't have to like this, but it's inarguably true: Ricky Henderson is
the second best baseball player of your lifetime. Unless you're, like, 110.
And Ricky would almost certainly be the best player of your lifetime
if Barry Bonds wasn't such a physiological and pharmacological oddity.
Ricky has 3,055 career hits and a lifetime on-base percentage of .401. He's
among the all-time top five in games played (3,081) and times-on-base
(5,343). He's scored more runs (2,295) and drawn more bases on balls
(2,190) than anyone in major league history. He's also stolen more ... cont. |
