Martinez Season Disable Edge At Mets

Baseball Betting Lines

Flushing, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The New York Mets signed free agent infielder Matt Tuiasosopo on Friday. Tuiasosopo, 25, played sparingly in three major league seasons for the Seattle Mariners between 2008-10 and hit .176 with 15 runs batted in over 71 games.

 

Noted surgeon Dr. Richard Steadman performed the procedures in Vail, Colorado and said in the Tigers' release that Martinez should be ready to undergo ACL reconstruction in approximately six-to-eight weeks.

 

Martinez batted .330 with 40 doubles, 12 home runs and 103 runs batted in last season, his first with the Tigers. He spent most of the 2011 campaign as the club's designated hitter.

 

In response, the Tigers moved quickly to add another power bat and signed free agent first baseman Prince Fielder.

 

He joined Tampa Bay the next year and batted just .221, then was released early in the 2010 season. Burrell signed with San Francisco and experienced a resurgence of sorts, clubbing 18 homers and driving in 51 runs with a .266 batting average. He went on to win a second World Series title with the Giants.

 

Burrell played in 92 games for San Francisco in 2011, hitting .230 with seven homers and 21 RBI.

 

Arlington, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Ron Washington, the only manager in franchise history to win a postseason series, has signed a two-year contract extension with the Texas Rangers. The deal, announced Monday, runs through the 2014 season. Financial terms were not disclosed.

 

He joined the Braves' Bobby Cox, the Yankees' Joe Torre and current Phillies skipper Charlie Manuel as the only managers in the Division Series era to advance to back-to-back World Series.

 

Washington's original two-year contract through the 2008 season included club options for 2009 and 2010, which were picked up. On November 4, 2010, he agreed to a two-year extension through the 2012 season.

 

Galarraga, 30, is most well known for pitching a perfect game with the Detroit Tigers on June 2, 2010 against the Cleveland Indians -- only it wasn't a perfect game.

FOOTBALL TRASH TALK

NFL Football Trash Talk

Trash talk has a place in every competitive endeavor (except baseball; those stirrup-wearers are too busy chewing on their sunflower seeds and their supplements to worry about what their opponents are doing).

Fantasy sports is no exception. Any intelligent discussion of the subject would probably start with a thesis statement or a definition of terms. Thankfully, this wont be an intelligent discussion.

Let me just say that I am happy to take a place in this space alongside my talented colleagues, even our commissioner. (You should see how she bleats like a demented paper boy about league fees on our fantasy site).

Trash talking, I would argue, is primarily about amusing your friends, their sheeplike demeanors and sloping foreheads notwithstanding. The best place I have found for football trash talking is at www.SportsAlarm.com.

Beyond the entertainment factor, though, I would recognize that the sophomoric ritual has one advantage, when properly applied. It magnifies your fantasy triumphs and mitigates your fantasy failures by transforming the eventual point total into an afterthought. Winning makes it seem like your opponent really is a truss-owning, lapel-pin-wearing nitwit. And in defeat, trash talk can be the air bag to break the fall from your hyperbolic heights. The plug-necked yahoos on your team, you can say, will be sacking groceries by the end of the season.

The best trash talk, in my view, is layered and nuanced. And it doesnt focus only on your opponents team. It picks apart your opponent. The idea is to create a shock-and-awe-scale blizzard of nonsense, and the goal is to make your opponent drop his hands from his keyboard in exasperation.

What team does your opponent root for? Accuse a Giants fan of having a Joe Namath pillowcase. Wheres your opponent from? Give a look of concern no matter his reply, then say, I'll try to type slower for you next time. Is your opponent into politics? Label everyone a tax-and-spend corporate shill.

Cap all that with a liberal application of irrelevance. For instance, dont just conclude by saying your opponent is a twerp who drafts like my grandmother. Say that your opponent is a sweater-wearing, eyebrow-plucking twerp who drafts his team about as well as Zsa Zsa Gabor gave acceptance speeches at the Oscars. By the time your foe makes sense of that, his starting running back will have had puppies.

But what about you? Hmm? Recall a memorable slam? Have a tried-and-true technique? Know someone who seems impervious to insult? Take a moment and tells us about it. Put together some (fit-for-publication) thoughts. You wont be too busy returning phone messages from your friends, Im sure, to reply.

In addition to the trash talking, the Sports Alarm has a huge gallery of high resolution pictures of beautiful women and models in bikinis. The most popular models are: Lindsay Lohan, Carrie Underwood, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Paris Hilton.
