Yankees trainer Monahan taking medical leave

Baseball Betting Lines

02/14/2010 - Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Gene Monahan, the New York Yankees' head athletic trainer, has developed a "significant illness" and is taking a medical leave of absence, according to a team release.

The team did not specify the illness, but the leave will force Monahan to miss spring training and perhaps the beginning of the 2010 season. The longtime trainer had worked 47 consecutive spring trainings for the Yankees (1963-2009).

"I miss not being around my professional family already, but I'm battling," Monahan said. "The New York Yankees have gone above and beyond in this most difficult time. I couldn't do this alone, but with the support and love of my immediate family, my family within our organization and the dedication and expertise of many fine doctors, I look forward to resuming my role with the team this season."

Instead of traveling with the team to Tampa, Monahan will stay in New York to receive treatment over the next several weeks.

Monahan is the longest-tenured head athletic trainer in the major leagues, having held that title for the last 38 years. Steve Donohue will take over that role in Monahan's absence.

MySportsbook.com refunds all bets on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay from NFL week one.

(September 14) – Week one of NFL action saw three teams go scoreless for the first time since 1977.  Another four were unable to get a touchdown and almost half of the underdogs covered the spread. Those three teams saved bettors at MySportsbook.com from losing out completely, thanks to the company’s unique NFL Shutout Rule -- which ensures that if the team you backed goes scoreless, your wager is refunded.

Sportsbook refunded tens of thousands of dollars to customers who bet on Oakland, Green Bay and Tampa Bay, the three teams that stunk up the field so badly that their fans and backers never had a chance to get up from their couches and cheer.  In the spirit of the low scoring start to the season, odds makers at the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino have set odds on how many total shutouts there will be this season. 

MySportsbook.com has posted updated sports betting lines for week two of the season.  Ben Roethlisberger’s health status is still questionable, so Willie Parker will try to lead Pittsburgh again as they travel to Jacksonville as a one point favorite.  After beating up on his little brother last week, Peyton Manning will look to lead the Colts to victory against Houston. Indianapolis is a whopping 13.5 favorite in the match-up.

Seattle, last year’s highest scoring team, showed the power of their defense with their gritty 9-6 win in Motown over the ravenous Lions.  They take their act back home to the comforts of Qwest Field where they will face the resurgent Arizona Cardinals.  The Seahawks are favored by a touchdown.
