United loses out on BenzemaSoccer Betting Lines07/02/2009 - Manchester, England (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Manchester United's hopes of signing Karim Benzema are over after the France striker agreed to a six-year contract with Real Madrid. Benzema, 21, was believed to have been earmarked by United boss Sir Alex Ferguson as a potential replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo. But after losing the World and European player of the year to the Spanish giants in a record $131 million transfer, United have now seen rising star Benzema also join the big-spending Madrid club. Real have now spent almost 200million on four players so far this summer after signing Ronaldo, Brazil star Kaka, defender Raul Albiol and now Benzema. They are believed to have paid an initial 30million to Lyon to sign one of the hottest prospects in European football. "Real Madrid and Olympique Lyonnais have reached an agreement for the transfer of Karim Benzema," read a statement on the Spanish club's official website. "The player will have his medical examination in the next few days, which will be followed by the signing of the contract with his new club. "The 21-year old French international striker will play six seasons for Real Madrid." (Courtesy of sportbox.tv)

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter JohnsonJUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander Grapefruit League action starts Wednesday, but Johnson, penciled in as the No. 2 starter, hasn't even thrown off a mound at full speed since September. He's experienced some soreness in his right forearm. MySportsbook.com have the Marlins listed with baseball betting lines at +800 to win the NL East this season . ''You guys know the math. If he's not on the hill then he becomes an opening day roster issue,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said Saturday. ''We're borderline now.'' Johnson, who finished 12-7 with a 3.10 ERA in 2007, was supposed to throw on flat ground Saturday. That was canceled when he woke up with pain. He played catch on Wednesday with no pain but felt discomfort in a throwing session on Thursday. He's expected to try again Sunday. ''Like we always said from the very beginning, we're going to take it easy on him,'' Gonzalez said. ''He didn't feel right, so we shut him down. We're going to take it back to step one and see where we're at.'' Among the candidates to take Johnson's spot in the rotation are left-hander Chris George and right-handers Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia. Right-hander Sergio Mitre, who missed most of last season with arm and shoulder problems, also is behind. With Johnson's status doubtful, Gonzalez said right-hander Ricky Nolasco will stay in the rotation and no longer will be considered a candidate for closer.
