The Lineup

With the San Francisco Giants taking individual pictures for photo day, starting pitcher Tim Lincecum decided to not shave his upper lip, giving us this very awkward mustache that we will likely see throughout the season whenever he's on the mound.

Lincecum won't be the first Giants pitcher to rock questionable facial hair. Barry Zito used to have quite a strange mustache back in 2011.

If you’re looking for a unique piece of baseball history—or collecting evidence of the anger issues caused by rampant steroid usage—you missed out on a gem.

Jesus Montero is fat.

That sounds harsh, but it seems to be the overarching sentiment coming out of Seattle Mariners spring training, where Montero has showed up 40 pounds overweight.

Suppose you just inked a giant major league contract. What’s the first big purchase you would make?

A little girl nearly stirred things up in the love lives of Washington Nationals pitcher Stephen Strasburg and infielder Anthony Rendon when she was allowed to ask "how many girlfriends do you have?" 

Just a few days after they released their new mascot, the Chicago Cubs have unveiled a few of their Sunday throwback jerseys for the 2014 season.

You can see four of the jerseys above, with them coming from the 1942, 1953, 1929 and 1969 seasons. The 1929 Cubs went 98-54 that year, eventually losing to the Philadelphia Athletics in the World Series.

Updates from Saturday, Jan. 11

Richard Durrett of ESPN provides Derek Holland's description of what occurred:

Most people love sledding. Most people in Boston also love Fenway Park, the iconic ballpark for the Boston Red Sox.

Those people who love both now have a chance to combine the two. The ballpark has been transformed into Frozen Fenway, a place for kids (and adults) to go sledding and enjoy the great venue.

Hat tip to Busted Coverage for the find.

Los Angeles Dodgers phenom outfielder Yasiel Puig was arrested on the morning of Saturday, Dec. 28, in Collier County, Fla. for reckless driving—his second such charge of 2013. 

NBC 2 News in Florida has the report:

If it were profitable, Alex Rodriguez would get on the biggest hill he could find, spin around and sing his story for all to hear like a baseball Julie Andrews. Instead, he is opting to just write a tell-all book about his plight and possibly secure a documentary feature.
