Athletics lose Sweeney for seasonBaseball Betting Lines07/19/2010 - Oakland, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Oakland Athletics will be without their leading hitter, Ryan Sweeney, for the rest of the season after he elected to have surgery on at least one of his ailing knees. It was announced earlier Monday that Sweeney was placed on the 15-day disabled list with right patella tendinitis. The A's official website indicated he had a cortisone shot for the knee last Monday and received platelet-rich injections during the All-Star break to no avail. Sweeney was quoted on the site as saying, "it wasn't a matter of if I needed the surgery. It was a matter of when I was going to get it. So we just had to make that decision." The surgery is not yet scheduled, but is to be performed by Dr. Richard Steadman in Vail, Colorado. The recovery time is expected to take 4-to-6 months. Sweeney will also have his left knee examined, and a second surgery is not out of the question. The 25-year-old batted .294 with one home run and 36 runs batted in over 82 games this season. In 364 career games with the Chicago White Sox and Oakland, Sweeney is a .286 hitter with 13 home runs and 144 RBI.

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."
