Rockies uncertain over status of P Cook

Baseball Betting Lines

09/09/2010 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Colorado Rockies pitcher Aaron Cook's status is uncertain after suffering a non-displaced fracture in his lower right leg on Wednesday.

Colorado manager Jim Tracy stated on Thursday that it is not known if Cook will be able to pitch again this season after X-rays revealed the crack in his fibula.

"This is a non-displaced fracture that unless you are an expert, myself or someone else can't just look at the pictures and say, 'Oh, there it is,'" said Tracy. "Is this season-ending or not? I still don't know today."

The injury occurred in the sixth inning of Wednesday's 9-2 win against the Cincinnati Reds when he was hit in the leg by a line drive from Joey Votto. He was making just his second start after a month-long stint on the disabled list with a sprained right toe.

Over 23 starts this season, Cook is 6-8 with a 5.08 earned run average.

Cook's next scheduled start was to be on Monday against San Diego, but he will be replaced by Jeff Francis, who will be making his first appearance since August 11 as he has been suffering from left shoulder soreness.

Super Bowl XLIII, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.

MySportsbook.com's Super Bowl XLIII Betting Odds:

Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
