Ribery close to decision on future

Soccer Betting Lines

03/08/2010 - Munich, Germany (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Bayern Munich's French ace Franck Ribery has stated that he will make a decision about his future in the next few weeks.

The 26-year-old forward is a target for most of Europe's top clubs, with his current Bayern contract running out at the end of next season.

He told French TV: "When will I decide my future? In two or three weeks.

"I am not 100 percent sure I am going to go to Real Madrid. Barcelona is also attractive and there is Chelsea.

"But that doesn't necessarily mean I will leave Bayern."

Meanwhile, Bayern head coach Louis van Gaal was far from satisfied with his side's display in the 1-1 weekend draw with Koln.

The Dutchman told reporters: "For the first 15 minutes we played the way we planned beforehand.

"But after that, we tried to go through the middle far too often and that wasn't clever, because that's where all the Koln players were.

"We were better after halftime because we got the ball wide, but we failed to score the second goal."

Marlins could start season without No. 2 starter Johnson

JUPITER, Fla. -- The Foorida Marlins are preparing for the likelihood that right-hander
Josh Johnson won't be ready when the season starts April 2.

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.
