The terrible person inside me wanted to see a star-spangled Wahoo. Just to drive home how lovely our racist rear end logo is.

Tanner Scheppers has made his triumphant return to the Rangers DL today with his second round of elbow inflammation this season. Gotta be TJS time soon, doesn't it? He didn't even last a week

Thom P. Tiers posted:So Wainwright flew back to St. Louis to get an MRI on his elbow. They said it was not related to the tommy john ligament and resembled more of "tennis elbow." That's a good thing. Tennis elbow is just an inflamed tendon (and sometimes inflamed fascia around the forearm muscles) and can be healed by rest, ice, and anti-inflammatories. I've had tennis elbow a couple times as a result of sports activities and it's cleared up just fine with a couple weeks of rest. Recovery can be sped up with a cortisol injection or other steroid, but I have no idea how circus-like MLB is about TUEs.

They should because the Fighting Sioux logo got a ton of flak for being racist, causing the NCAA to kill it (not even getting into the debate, every side had a fair point and it got beaten to death)

I believe they were named after a native american war chief named "Black Hawk," although the logo really has nothing to do with him or his resemblance.

More or less, although Thom P Tiers is right that Chief Black Hawk was an actual existing political and military leader. The team skates by since their name and logo aren't outright slurs, and they maintain some sort of relationship with the AIC. However, I think the consensus is that their name/logo could be better and I think it would probably be desirable if the Sauk were given some sort of effective control with respect to the team's logo. But I guess all this is for another topic in another subforum.

The Red Sox signed Andres Torres to a minor league deal today, which would not be notable news except for the fact that he would be a significant improvement over most of their current outfield, which is incredibly pathetic.

But they are not even named after the tribe, they are named after an Army Group. The logo could use a change though.

Tyler Matzek went out and pitched 7 innings and allowed 2 runs and no walks in his first MLB start  Carlos Gonzalez has twenty stitches in his index finger from his surgery, they will be removed in two weeks. quote:Docs showed #Rockies Carlos Gonzalez the growth in his tumor that was removed from his index finger, said at first it "looked like a Cheeto, because I eat too many Cheetos." Also, "maybe a shrimp". "Something creepy."  OH DEAR GOD. will_colorado fucked around with this message at 05:24 on Jun 12, 2014 |

Rosenthal says the Giants may try to trade for a second baseman. Brandon Hicks was looking like a nice find off the scrap heap for a minute, but lately he's turned back into the guy he was in the minors: hits a dinger occasionally but not much else, and he strikes out a ton. Are there any decent 2B who might be available at the deadline? Cause I think the Giants should upgrade if they can.

Ben Zobrist might be available considering that this is a lost season and he's gone after 2015, but I doubt it as the best thing the rays can really do right now is finish respectably this year and take another crack at it with largely the same team next season, which is a strategy the FO seems pretty adamant about sticking to.

Maybe Utley or Zobrist, especially with the way the Rays have completely fallen apart this season. edit: yeah, what they said

Between Cespedes and Puig we're getting an absolute clinic this year on why arm is a separate tool not lumped in with the rest of a player's defensive package. Good god these "great plays"
