Another blow for Cleveland: Sizemore out for season after surgery

Baseball Betting Lines

06/04/2010 - Cleveland, OH (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Cleveland Indians center fielder Grady Sizemore underwent surgery on Friday and will miss the rest of the regular season.

Sizemore was expected to be sidelined 6-to-8 weeks following the procedure, but Dr. Richard Steadman ended up needing to perform microfracture surgery on his left knee, meaning the recovery period will take six to nine months, just in time for spring training next year.

The injury was suffered on May 16 when he dove into second base in a game against the Orioles. It was originally diagnosed as a deep bone bruise.

Sizemore struggled mightily for the second straight season in 2010, though last year inflammation in his left elbow and an unstable abdominal wall on his lower left side curbed his production.

He had surgery in the offseason to correct both injuries, but the career .272 hitter batted a mere .211 with 13 runs batted in and no home runs in 33 games this season.

The three-time All Star, who turns 28 in August, hit 33 home runs and stole 38 bases in 2008.

LaDainian Tomlinson Favorite to be 2007 NFL MVP

With the first NFL preseason game less than two weeks away, it is time to start thinking about football once again at MySportsbook.com. Reigning NFL MVP LaDainian Tomlinson is currently the 5-1 co-favorite to win the award again alongside Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning.

This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone after his all out assault on the record books last season. For those suffering from amnesia or were under a rock last football season, all L.T. did last season was set the NFL record for rushing touchdowns (28), total touchdowns (31) and total points scored (186) to go along with his 1815 rushing yards and 508 receiving yards. At 6-1, Tom Brady is next in line which isn’t surprising considering all of the firepower the Pats added over the off-season. With the addition of Randy Moss, Donte Stallworth and Wes Welker; it would be quite difficult for Brady’s numbers not to improve from last years 3529 yards and 24 touchdowns. There appears to be some decent value in Drew Bees at 10-1 considering he probably would have won the award last year if it wasn’t for L.T.’s record breaking season.

There is no reason to think the Saints will come back to earth this season and playing in a weak NFC, they should have as good a shot as any to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. At 15-1, Donovan McNabb could also be worth a look. Remember, many felt he was the MVP of the first half of the season before going down with a season ending injury. Reportedly, he is in great shape and well ahead of schedule to return to form. Also, he could have some added motivation to put up big numbers this season with the Eagles using their first pick in the draft on McNabb’s future successor Kevin Kolb.
