NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — If you’ve found yourself sweating in this summer’s heat, you may have hydrated with a store-bought sports drink. They replace electrolytes, but they’re not cheap and contain a lot of calories. Sweat is nearly all water, so that’s what’s most important to replace. Plain water works just fine, but there are some electrolytes in sweat that only sports drinks will restore. As it turns out, making your own is easy, and can be cheaper and even healthier than using store-bought. Brands like Gatorade or Powerade contain plenty of electrolytes, but they also contain additives, preservatives, and worst of all, sugar. What we worry about with those sports drinks is the caloric intake that comes,” dietitian Jennifer Hartman said. “What you have is it’s loaded with sugar.” Plain salt is most of what you lose in sweat, so it’s all you need in the homemade concoction. Other electrolytes are easily replaced with food. Green, leafy vegetables will do the trick, as will bananas or even dark chocolate. The rest is all flavoring. Lemon or lime juice works, and a bit of ginger could add a touch of spice. Pomegranate juice adds a bit of color and a dose of antioxidants. From there you can control what kind and how much sweetener to add. “If you truly don’t want the sugar and you want it to be sugar free, you could add some stevia, the little droplets, or the splenda sugar free sweetener,” Hartman said. Water is usually enough for most people other than extreme athletes like marathoners, but there’s no harm in consuming drinks containing electrolytes other than cost and calories. If you want to make your own brew, we’ve got an easy starter recipe HERE .

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Sports betting, already a huge success in New Jersey , may have a future in New York before this fall even though state legislators failed to put into action anything since the U.S. Supreme Court made such gambling legal earlier this year. It was a major piece of unfinished business in Albany, reports CBS2’s Tony Aiello. Lawmakers left for the year without voting on a sports betting bill that also would have authorized mobile wagering. “We have to go to Jersey now,” said Jim O’Mara of Yonkers. “Go down the shore, Monmouth, whatever, and do the betting. They missed the boat, Jersey’s gonna open the Meadowlands, and Monmouth.” It turns out a 2013 bill already allows sports betting at the four Vegas-style casinos that have opened in New York, including Resorts World Catskills. “There’s no question it will drive revenue and visitation to our casino here,” said Charlie Degliomini of Resorts World Catskills. Degliomini says the casino was pre-wired to allow sports betting in anticipation of the Supreme Court’s May decision legalizing it. Potential future sports betting locations in New York. (credit: CBS2) As soon as the state gaming commission issues regulatons, the Catskills casino is ready to take sports bets like Monmouth Park in New Jersey. “I think we’re more excited than anxious, but we know it’s something that’s going to happen, it’s just a question of when,” said Degliomini. “For us, sooner is better than later.” Next year, the legislature would be expected to expand sports betting to the slots-only casinos – Empire City here in Yonkers, Jake’s 58 in Suffolk County and Resorts World in Queens. That would be the jackpot for state revenue, but the ante comes this September when the New York State Gaming Commission is expected to issue regulations allowing New York’s first four sports books to open.

Ryan Mayer The St. Louis Cardinals missed the playoffs just four times between 2000 and 2015, while making the World Series four times and winning twice. The franchise was seen as one of the gold standards in the league and had seemingly undergone a successful transition at manager from Tony LaRussa to Mike Matheny. Well, the last two and a half years haven’t been as kind to the Cardinals, and on Saturday it cost Matheny his job. St. Louis, 48-46, have missed the playoffs each of the last two seasons and enter the All-Star break seven-and-a-half games back of the Cubs in the division race and four games back in the battle for the Wild Card. The franchise hasn’t missed the playoffs in three consecutive seasons since 1997-1999 and clearly, executives thought a change was needed in order to avoid that fate. In addition to the team’s performance on the field, there were incidents off the field, like the situation between closer Bud Norris and reliever Jordan Hicks , that seemed to factor into the decision. Either way, over the course of his six-and-a-half seasons at the helm of the squad, Matheny went 592-474 with a World Series appearance back in 2013, when the Cards lost to the Red Sox in six games. While the Cardinals are looking for a new manager, the New York Mets could be looking for a new ace if they don’t negotiate a new contract with Jacob deGrom. Reports this week indicated that deGrom’s agent had told the team that the 30-year-old righty is interested in locking into a long-term deal to stay in the Big Apple. But, that came with a caveat. deGrom’s agent, Brodie van Wagenen of CAA, told reporters that if the Mets do not share that same interest in a long-term contract, the team should immediately begin looking for a trade. That’s not quite an outright trade request from deGrom, but it’s as close as one can get. In fairness to deGrom, he is certainly out-performing his contract, as through 123 innings pitched this season he’s allowed just 23 earned runs, good for a minuscule 1.68 ERA. He becomes arbitration-eligible after this season, but the team still has two years of control through the arbitration process before he could become a free agent in 2021. For more on these stories and the rest of the week in baseball, check out the video above.
