Harden has surgery on shoulder he hurt in 2007

What to Watch for This Spring

Well, the Super Bowl is finally over which means we can all focus our attention now on a real sport. It’s less than two weeks before pitchers and catchers report to spring training and I, for one, can’t wait. I’m not sure how optimistic I can really get this year about my team’s performance specifically, but I can never hide my excitement around this time of year. IT’S...

This Week in Baseball Cards: January 31

It was a week of desperate cries of “look at me!” from attention whores Jose Canseco, Heath Bell, Logan Morrison and Dallas Braden. Here's Bo Rosny with This Week in Baseball Cards!Braden’s cry for attention was the most interesting, with a tattoo of Rollie Fingers on a dolphin.

Dallas Braden Tattoo Features Rollie Fingers Riding Dolphin, But Is It Real? (Photo)

Tattoos last a lifetime, but the permanence hasn't kept ink from going through its share of fads. In the 1990s it seemed like everybody got thorns or barbed wire inked on their upper arms. In the early 2000s, the tat du jour was a tribal design -- if you were a former heavyweight champ, maybe you even put one on your face. Fortunately, Dallas Braden isn't one to follow the...

Dallas Braden Has a (Fake) Tattoo of Rollie Fingers Riding a Dolphin Under a Rainbow

Of course he does… I don’t have any tattoos and even I can tell that’s fake. First of all, it’s too damn shiny, and on top of that, it looks like it was done in magic marker.  Plus, if it were real, and based on what little I know of A’s pitcher Dallas Braden, Rollie Fingers would be naked, and the tattoo would be 10 times as large and on Braden’...

Dallas Braden Got a Tattoo of Rollie Fingers Riding a Dolphin over a Rainbow (Picture)

Oakland A’s pitcher Dallas Braden really got a tattoo on his arm of Rollie Fingers riding a dolphin jumping over a rainbow. The photo was shared on the A’s Facebook page, and they say Braden got the tattoo after doing a commercial shoot with Rollie. Braden has always been a silly dude, so we can’t say we expected anything less. I guess that’s how they roll...

A's pitcher gets unique tattoo of Rollie Fingers

Yes, you are seeing that correctly. That is Hall of Fame pitcher Rollie Fingers in all of his mustachioed glory, riding a dolphin in front of a rainbow, engraved in ink on Oakland A’s pitcher Dallas Braden’s left upper arm. Okay, okay, I have serious doubts this is real. For one, its gleam in light reminds me of those temporary tattoos kids can get at Chuck E. Cheese...

Triptoe Through the Transactions

The MLB transaction wire is always a fun place in the off season. Professional writers and bloggers expend tons of keystrokes navigating through the tender and not so tendered facts you'll find there. This site used to do a weekly review of said snippets from the wire but it's been an awfully long time. In fact, such a review hasn't happened since Christina Karhl did her reviews...
