Swisher out of Yanks lineup with sore heel
Baseball Betting Lines
07/23/2010 - NEW YORK (AP) -Right fielder Nick Swisher was a late scratch from the New York Yankees' lineup because he woke up with a sore left Achilles' heel. Swisher was initially set to bat second Friday, but when he arrived at Yankee Stadium before the game against the Kansas City Royals he told the teem his heel was hurting. He says he couldn't figure out when he hurt it. Swisher says he is available to pinch hit. Colin Curtis will take his spot in right field and bat ninth. Brett Gardener was moved from the No. 9 hole and will bat leadoff. Derek Jeter moved from first to second in the order.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Dallas Cowboys Super Bowl Odds
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.
