Team to bet on this 2009 MLB Season
Monday, May 11th, 2009
Baseball has already settled in and it’s time to determine where you can put some money on and win big.
One month into the baseball betting marathon that is the 2009 MLB baseball season, is behind us and there have been some surprises thus far. The latest one is of course Manny Ramirez being the latest guy to be linked to banned substances.
With that said, I know most of you won’t be wasting their time (and money) betting on the Dodgers since they’ll have a lot to figure out in the next few weeks with the fallout of the Manny Ramirez issue.
So, which team is the best ‘’money’’ team in baseball now? Some of you might say the Boston Red Sox are, while some will go with the Tampa Bay Rays. Well, NONE of them are ‘’money’’ teams. But if you’re looking for the best team to bet on, you can’t go wrong with the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Toronto Blue Jays are 20-10 overall with a profitable 11-4 record at home and a healthy 9-6 record on the road. A $100 a game bettor would have a profit of approximately $950 if they wagered on every Jay game this season so far (depending on the lines when they bet on Toronto).
Over / Under bettors can take note, the Jays have posted 19 overs and 11 unders so far this year.
Toronto hasn’t played many games against teams from its own division so far but it has played a three-game set against the Baltimore Orioles and it swept the O’s 3-0. You can’t win in baseball without good pitching and the Jays have two pitchers who rank in the Top 10 MLB money pitchers.
As the ace of Toronto’s rotation, you expect wins from Roy Halladay and he hasn’t disappointed this year with a 6-1 record. But as good as he has been for the Jays, Scott Richmond has been a pleasant surprise. Last season, Richmond only started in five games all season, grabbing 1 win and 3 losses.
This season, Richmond has already pitched in five games and has paid off for those who backed him, racing out to a perfect 5-0 mark.
The Toronto Blue Jays are second only to…

Alex Rodriguez will miss 6 – 9 weeks
Wednesday, March 11th, 2009
Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees undergoes hip surgery which would put him out for atleast 6 – 9 weeks in the opening of the Major League Baseball Regular Season.
Alex Rodriguez who is by far the highest paid professional Major League Baseball player would start the MLB Regular Season on the wrong foot and baseball fans hope that the sting of woes the Baseball star has been in would end.
In the past few months, Alex Rodriguez has admitted to the use of performance enhancing drugs that generated criticism in the ranks of Baseball fans. The 33 year old New York Yankee is yet to redeem his name in the hearts of millions of Baseball fans across America. The untimely surgery that was to repair a torn labrum in his right hip comes at an ever graver time for the 3 time American League MVP. Despite the optimism from his teammates, Alex Rodriguez is still a great part of another championship run the New York Yankees are trying to sum up for this year.
“I feel like this team is going to win if we pitch well, whether Alex is here or not, to tell you the truth,” Andy Pettitte said. “Everybody’s lineup is so good. It’s tough to pitch in this division. I think we’re going to win because, hopefully, we outpitch the other people.”
Alex Rodriguez has…
Ken Griffey Jr. keeps his world on finishing his career in Seattle
Thursday, February 19th, 2009
Ken Griffey Jr. is heading back to the Seattle Mariners. The 39 year old Left Fielder is believed to have signed a contract with the Seattle Mariners for one year and is estimated to be worth $2 million in base salary, plus incentives.
“He’s coming home. … I can’t begin to tell you how ecstatic we are. He is, too,” Seattle mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik said “arguably one of the greatest athletes to ever play in the Seattle area. Ken is extremely excited to be coming back to Seattle,”
The Atlanta Braves was Ken Griffey Jr.’s first choice on however the same old reason why most professional athletes tend to move to Atlanta, with the city of Seattle they do not have the geographical convenience as the other cities with professional ball clubs. However Ken Griffey Jr. still has sentiments left for the Mariners franchise since this was where everything started with his career and Ken Griffey Jr. became an MLB all star with the Seattle Mariners. Ken Griffey Jr. was a former Seattle Mariners superstar that left the franchise in 2000.
“We were informed tonight that Ken Griffey Jr. has decided to return to Seattle,” The Atlanta Braves general manager Frank Wren said. “We will continue to be open to other possibilities to improve our outfield offense and, at the same time, give our young players an opportunity to show us they can win that job.”
The Atlanta Braves have a training camp that is a 20 minute drive from Ken Griffey Jr.’s home in Orlando, Florida and the Atlanta Braves Stadium is a one hour flight away.
Another clue in the whole confusion as to where Ken Griffey Jr. would be playing in the next MLB Regular season was the…
Steroids hit MLB again with A-Rod
Thursday, February 12th, 2009
Yes, the very player the Yankees rely on these days got away with steroids use six years ago.
You just know that people are already anticipating for the coming 2009 MLB baseball season when they start talking about baseball as early as the conclusion of the football season.
And since talking about baseball is as synonymous as talking about anabolic steroids, it was no surprise that the early topics that come out every time baseball fans start talking about their favorite sport pertains to another dude who injected the prohibited drug on his ass.
This time, we have Alex Rodriguez, the New York Yankees third baseman, a guy who once paraded around with Madonna and probably the only one who has a physique that yells ‘’steroids use.’’
Other than Barry Bonds of course.
Sources claim that Alex Rodriguez may have gotten away with the use of anabolic steroids. The New York Yankees star was tested positive for testosterone and Primobolan, an anabolic steroid, during the 2003 season when he won the AL home run title and the MVP award.
He was playing for the Texas Rangers then.
Fortunately for Alex Rodriguez, there were no penalties for a positive result then. When A-Rod was asked for comment about the rumors, he simply said, ‘’you’ll have to talk to the union.’’ When asked if he had an explanation for the positive test result, A-Rod simply answered, ‘’I’m not saying anything.’’
Hee hee…
Primobolan is an injected or orally administered drug that improves strength and maintains lean muscle with minimal bulk development…
