so weird

Somewhere, there’s a Mississippi State fan sticking pins in a Colonel Rebel doll. How else to explain this? It has been reported that Drew Pomeranz, a key piece in the Cleveland-Colorado trade that sent Ubaldo Jimenez to the Indians, had an emergency appendectomy and may miss the rest of the season. The former Ole Miss left-hander, after two weeks in limbo because of trade rules, threw seven shutout innings in Double-A last week in his first outing as Rockies property. He figured to get a September call-up. But that’s unlikely now. Pomeranz joins Chris Coghlan, Alex Presley, Zack Cozart, Matt Maloney and Lance Lynn as former Ole Miss players who’ve spent time on the disabled list because of injuries this season. The others were in the big leagues when they were hurt. Pomeranz was cut down before he could even get there. It’s just so weird.
