DO THE DOO
Left-hander Scott Schoeneweis came back from the all-star break with a new look. Gone are the long curly locks as he now sports a modified Mohawk -- a Mock Hawk.
"I didn't like my first half so I decided to shave it," Schoeneweis said. "It was an impulsive thing. Once I said I'd do it, you can't back down."
