Sheff cooks up a Detroit victory over St. Louis
Baseball Betting Lines
06/26/2008 -
Detroit, MI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Gary Sheffield had four hits, including the
winning single in the bottom of the ninth inning, boosting the Detroit Tigers
to an 8-7 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in a game delayed nearly 2 1/2
hours by rain.
Sheffield, who came off the disabled list Tuesday, helped the Tigers to their
11th win in 14 games. Carlos Guillen also had four hits, including a three-run
homer.
Todd Jones (3-0), who wooed the crowd with an impersonation of teammate
Magglio Ordonez during the rain delay, threw the ninth inning to get the
victory.
Kyle McClellan (0-3) suffered the loss, as the Cardinals faltered in the
middle contest of the three-game set.
Rick Ankiel hit a pair of solo homers and knocked in three runs for St. Louis.
Kyle Lohse allowed 11 hits and five runs over the first four innings for the
Cardinals, while Armando Galarraga was charged with eight hits and five runs
-- four earned -- in 4 2/3 frames during the start for the Tigers.
The Cardinals took a 7-6 lead in the eighth, when Brendan Ryan walked, went to
second on a wild pitch from Joel Zumaya and later scored on an Aaron Miles
single.
However, the Tigers tied the game in the bottom half when Ordonez singled to
right to drive in Placido Polanco.
Jones retired the side in order in the top of the ninth and Clete Thomas
doubled to left to start the bottom of the frame. Sheffield then singled to
right-center field to end the game.
It capped an eventful night for Jones, who donned a long-haired wig and
Ordonez's jersey, pretending to hit the home run that clinched Detroit's 2006
ALCS win over Oakland during the delay in the top of the fifth inning.
Skip Schumaker and Ankiel homered in the first inning, but the Tigers scored
twice in the second. Sheffield came home on a throwing error from first
baseman Adam Kennedy following a hit from Edgar Renteria, and Curtis
Granderson added an RBI single.
Ankiel lifted a sacrifice fly in the third and Yadier Molina scored on a
Nick Stavinoha groundout in the fourth, but Guillen blasted his seventh homer
of the year in the bottom half, right after Granderson walked and Polanco
singled.
Another homer from Ankiel in the fifth tied the game, and Molina walked with
the bases full in the seventh to make it 6-5. However, Kennedy then flied out
to end the inning.
The Tigers loaded the bases with nobody out in their half of the seventh, but
scored only once when Edgar Renteria grounded into a double play.

Dallas Cowboys 15-1 Super Bowl Odds With Romo, Owens Concerns
Will he or won't he? Now that the Dallas Cowboys have a new head coach in Wade Phillips, the big question will be: Does Terrell Owens stay with the team.
Jerry Jones continues to suggest that Terrell Owens will remain with the team.
"I've said that he's back, he's here, he's under contract," Jones said. "In the interviews I've just been through (to hire a new coach), it was very clear to me how highly he's thought of and how much of an impact he had on our offensive success."
Just to be sure though, Terrell Owens cleared out his locker and removed his name plate.
Terrell Owens was among the Cowboys most productive players this past season, catching 85 passes for 1,180 yards and a league-best 13 touchdowns.
But T.O. is due a $3 million roster bonus in June, then a $5 million salary this season. Cutting him before then would save a lot of money and headaches.
Aside from the questions surrounding Terrell Owens, the oddsmakers at MySportsbook.com have concerns over starting quarterback Tony Romo's state of mind and whether he will remain a starting quarterback. It is also not known how players will adjust to new head coach, Wade Phillips.
