"What is the worst they can do to me?" Unfortunately for John Rocker the answer is not simply getting booed it is getting buried.

Rocker is a 2 to 1 favorite (lay $2 to win $1) ride the no.7 train into Shea stadium one day this weekend.

Last week, Rocker promised to further antagonize the city of New York by riding the no.7 to Shea Stadium for this weekend's highly anticipated rematch of last year's NLCS between the Atlanta Braves and the New York Mets. Adding insult to injury to the NYC fans, and due to the security concerns this has raised, the taxpayers of New York City will have to pay for the additional 500 police officers who will be in attendance at the stadium during the series and beer sales will also be curtailed for the duration of the Braves visit.

Rocker is a favorite laying -120 (Lay $6 to win $5) to throw a wild pitch and hit a NY Met batter this weekend.

Sportsbook.com (http://www.sportsbook.com) is pleased to offer New Yorkers, and everyone else that Rocker has offended, the opportunity to get even.

Rocker favored 6 to 5 to record a save this weekend. Rocker favored 7 to 1 not to blow a save during the series.

According to sportsbook.com, Rocker's first pitch will be a ball (7:5) rather than a strike (even money) When the first Met steps up to the plate against Rocker, he is a 7 to 5 favorite not to get on base. If you think that a NY Met will get a homerun off Rocker, you'll win 5 times your money (win $500 for a $100 bet) If you think Rocker will get kicked out of the game and your right, you will win 5 times your money as well.

For any of those NY Fans looking to make a quick buck, make a $100 bet at sportsbook.com. If you or anyone else runs on the field during the Series, sportsbook.com will pay 3.5 times your bet, or $350.
