Brewers broadcaster Uecker nears return to booth

Baseball Betting Lines

07/21/2010 - Milwaukee, WI (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Milwaukee Brewers announced on Wednesday that legendary broadcaster Bob Uecker will make his return to the booth on Friday, when the team begins a three-game series versus Washington.

The 75-year-old underwent successful heart surgery on April 30 at Milwaukee's Froedtert Hospital, where Dr. Alfred C. Nicolosi performed the procedure. The radio broadcaster was initially projected to miss 10-to-12 weeks, and his return falls within that timeframe. Uecker is scheduled to hold a news conference Friday to discuss details of his return to the job.

Uecker was inducted into the broadcasters' wing of the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2003 and is in his 40th year as the play-by-play radio voice of the Brewers. Uecker was also awarded the Ford C. Frick Award in 2003 and previously served as play-by-play announcer for ABC Sports coverage of the League Championship Series and World Series.

Uecker has enjoyed 55 years in professional baseball, first spending six seasons playing in the Majors as a catcher for the Milwaukee/Atlanta Braves franchise, St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies. He won a World Series with the Cardinals in 1964.

Dubbed "Mr. Baseball" by the late Johnny Carson, Uecker has made memorable appearances in the movies "Major League" and "Major League II" as an announcer for the Cleveland Indians, and was famously known for his series of satiric commercials for Miller Lite.

The funnyman also starred as George on the popular television series "Mr. Belvedere," which syndicated 122 episodes.

Super Bowl XLIII Betting - Super Bowl 2009

Super Bowl 2009, the Arizona Cardinals and the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Let’s take a look at the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds and the betting line and figure out where they’ve been and where they are going to go.

MySportsbook.com put up the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds late on Sunday night with the Pittsburgh Steelers favored by 6.5 points and a total betting line at 47.5 points.

Since then, however, the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds have seen a good deal of movement and you’ll want to be on top of where they are likely to move to make sure you get the best line value for the big game.

Since opening, the Super Bowl 2009 betting lines went to Steelers -7 in the span of roughly 3 hours but were quickly bought back down just minutes later to 6.5 again.

After that is took about 5-6 more hours before the betting line went back to -7 where it has sat for a while now and is likely to remain. The opening betting total of 47.5 was bet down right after the line became available and went to 47 within minutes.

Roughly a day later it has been bet even further down to the 46.5 tally it currently is set at.

Roughly 60% of gamblers seem to be on the Cardinals here so the point spread will be bet down and a 7.5 would not last very long at all with many taking the early 6.5 in hopes of finding a potential middle in the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds.

If you like Arizona and see a 7.5, I’d take it as soon as possible because it’s unlikely to last. For Pittsburgh backers, the -7 might be the best you’ll be able to find but a 6.5 is definitely possible close to game time.

Regarding the Super Bowl 2009 betting odds for the total, most tracked gamblers are already on the over and with those who took the under 47.5 already securing a middle on the over 46.5, the only way I see it moving is back up to 47 so if you like the over, I’d recommend betting now.
