LA Russa Of Verlander Series

Baseball Betting Lines

Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Chicago Cubs agreed to terms on non-guaranteed split contracts with pitchers Andy Sonnanstine and Manny Corpas on Monday. Both contracts were for the 2012 season.

 

In 2011 Sonnanstine made 15 appearances -- four starts -- with the Rays and posted an 0-2 record with a 5.55 ERA.

 

Philadelphia, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - With Prince Fielder no closer to finding a home and no other news in sight, Major League Baseball appears to be officially closed for business until 2012. So, of course, there is no better time than now to reflect on the top stories of the past year. Without further ado and in no particular order, here are the top stories from the past year:

 

If you told fans in St. Louis back in the beginning of August that their team would be the ones left standing at the end of the season, they'd probably say you were nuts. The Cards found themselves 10 1/2 games out of a playoff spot in late August only to go 23-8 down the stretch and secured the wild card spot on the final day of the regular season.

 

Then it was a date with the Texas Rangers in the World Series.

 

The 67-year-old skipper goes out as the third winningest manager in major league history with 2,728 victories for the White Sox (1979-1986), Athletics (1986-1995) and Cardinals (1996-present). Only Connie Mack has managed more games than the 5,097 La Russa has skippered.

 

PUJOLS TAKES THE MONEY AND RUNS TO ANAHEIM

 

But some people were skeptical of the reports that the Cardinals had, in fact, gone to 10 years. And let's be honest -- if they had, what was all the fuss? If that were the case, the deal should have been locked up a couple of days ago.

 

As for Pujols? Well, his legacy takes a hit. You always think more of players who stay in one place rather than those who move on, especially those who do it for money. Plus, St. Louis is one of those special franchises where it just means more to stay there your whole career.

 

He'll never be mentioned alongside Stan Musial again, that's for sure.

 

You knew coming into the season that New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter's run to 3,000 hits was going to get a lot of play. HBO announced along the way that it would be putting out a documentary entailing the Yankee captain's pursuit and that was just the tip of the iceberg of endless coverage that was actually delayed when the 37-year-old was sidelined with a calf injury six hits shy.
