Beltran (finally) returns for Mets
Baseball Betting Lines
07/15/2010 -
San Francisco, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Mets will get a much-needed
boost on Thursday when they welcome back perennial All-Star outfielder Carlos
Beltran from the 60-day disabled list.
Beltran has not seen the field for the Mets during the 2010 season after
undergoing knee surgery back in January. The procedure was somewhat
controversial, as the Mets did not get a chance to review Beltran's medical
condition before the outfielder decided to go under the knife.
In 14 rehabilitation games with Single-A St. Lucie over the past few weeks,
Beltran hit .367 with five runs scored, five doubles, five RBI, and seven
walks.
Beltran started having trouble with his right knee in the middle of May of
last season and had a lengthy stay on the disabled list with what the team
maintained was a deep bone bruise.
The 33-year-old missed 2 1/2 months of the 2009 season and was limited to 81
games. He returned in September and, according to the team's medical update,
had not been experiencing pain following the conclusion of the season and
into his early offseason conditioning. However, the symptoms returned to
the point where pre-spring training conditioning became too painful.
The switch-hitting, five-time All-Star batted .325 with 48 runs batted in,
10 homers and 11 stolen bases last season for the Mets. He owns a lifetime
average of .283 to go with 273 home runs, 1,035 RBI and 286 steals.

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
