"Turd Throw" and other stories from the rancid NLC.

     JUPITER, Fla. (AP) - Cardinals' 20-game winner Adam Wainwright
has injured his throwing elbow and is returning to St. Louis to
have it examined by team doctors.
     General manager John Mozeliak said Wednesday that "things do
not look encouraging" for the 2010 Cy Young runner-up based on the
initial evaluation by training staff. He said the right-hander
injured his elbow on the third to final pitch of Monday's bullpen
session.
     Wainwright went 20-11 with a 2.42 ERA in 2010 in finishing
second in the Cy Young balloting to Philadelphia's Roy Halladay.

Man, it's a good thing that I learned this twice.  Thanks, BC!

I presume cici beans comes from the Italian "cicero".  True story - I once stayed for a few days in Palermo with a bloke whose name was Giorgio Lo Cicero.  I had a hard time not laughing in his face when he told me what it meant.
