Cubs manager Piniella criticizes baseball analyst

Baseball Betting Lines

06/11/2010 -

CHICAGO (AP) -Cubs manager Lou Piniella has criticized longtime Chicago baseball analyst Steve Stone for questioning how he's handling prized rookie outfielder Tyler Colvin.

Piniella took exception Friday to recent comments Stone made to Comcast SportsNet when he reiterated Colvin should be playing regularly, something he has said repeatedly.

Piniella pointed out he's won ``over 1,800 games as a manager'' and is ``not a damn dummy.'' He questioned Stone's credentials, wondering ``what job has he had in baseball besides talking on television or radio?''

Stone says he believes Colvin needs 30 at-bats a week, either in the majors or the minors.

Colvin was not in the lineup Friday against the White Sox. He was batting .290 with six homers and 16 RBIs in limited playing time.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Terrell Owens could return for Cowboys next game
A bye week will allow Terrell Owens broken hand to recover just in time for the next game the Dallas Cowboys are slated to play, according to reports. MySportsbook.com, an football sportsbook, has posted football betting lines on TO playing.

Owens broke the bone leading to his right ring finger Sunday night and had a plate surgically attached to it Monday. Although Owens' hand was swollen and aching Wednesday, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells said he's optimistic the receiver will be back at work next week and catching passes a week from Sunday against the Tennessee Titans.

MySportsbook.com online sportsbook listed Terrell Owens with odds of 7-2 (or $7 paid out for every $2 bet) to return back for the game against Tennessee.

"I certainly wouldn't rule it out now," Parcells said, referring to Terrell Owens immediate return. "Maybe five days from now I might, but I wouldn't rule it out now. ... I know we're looking to try to get him moving around pretty good in the next day or so. So we'll see where we are."

Owens did not speak with reporters Wednesday, but said Sunday he'd be out two to four weeks. A return against the Titans would be 13 days after the surgery. The Cowboys were listed as an early -7 1/2 favorite vs. the Tennessee Titans for Week 4 at MySportsbook.com
