Flaherty will make another rehab start with Triple-A Memphis on Friday, going up to about 80 pitches.

Morel hustled into third when shortstop Paul DeJong mishandled the relay from left fielder Tyler O'Neill. Rookie Christopher Morel doubled with two out in the third for Chicago's only hit. “Every bullpen I'm working on something and then when I get to take the ball, I'm competing and just trying to make pitches,” he said. The left-hander struck out seven and walked none in his first career complete game, improving to 4-0 with a sparkling 0.35 ERA in four starts since he was acquired in an Aug. That one run was all Montgomery (7-3) needed. “I was thinking just change his eye level and like, you know, don't let him hit it obviously was my thought,” Smyly said. Smyly (5-7) called it a tough way to lose, given the pitch was way out of the strike zone. It was Pujols' 940th multihit game, snapping a tie with Paul Waner for 10th on the career list. Pujols matched Barry Bonds’ major league record by homering off his 449th different pitcher. “I come out here, no matter where I'm playing, and continue to do my work for 22 years.” “I think at the end of the day you know you have to trust your work, and that's something that I do,” the 42-year-old Pujols said. There was a noticeable round of cheers from the crowd of 29,719 as the three-time NL MVP rounded the bases on his second hit of the night. 14 overall in his final big league season. Pujols led off the seventh with a drive to left-center for his seventh homer in his last 10 games and No.

Lieutenant $hyne (Martavious Payne Sr.), is a native of Memphis, TN. While being raised in one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in South Memphis on McMillian Street (a.k.a. McKillan), $hyne had to persevere through countless struggles ranging from overcoming poverty to losing childhood friends to gun violence while simultaneously avoiding a premature demise.
As a byproduct of a single parent household, $hyne grew up with his siblings and a loving mother who always tried her best to provide for her children. With $hyne being the youngest, he often saw the plight of his mother, her financial struggles and the worries of raising black children in a very violent, prejudice and racist society and made a commitment to himself to make it happen by any means necessary. Despite hustling and banging at an early age, $hyne excelled in basketball, football and baseball, but those street activities ultimately ended all professional aspirations in sports. However, he still managed to graduate high school.
Shyne’s life took an unexpected turn in 2012 when he was introduced into a new responsibility called fatherhood. This new profound responsibility caused him to reflect deeply on his life and the decisions he was making and where the actions of those decisions were leading him to. Becoming a father, made $hyne refocus and prioritize being present and alive father for his newborn daughter. Furthermore, while striving to be a great father to his daughter, $hyne continued to lose close family and friends to the streets. This deeply impacted him mentally and emotionally. As the losses of loved ones continued to compile, $hyne welcomed the birth of another daughter and a son during that time period.
Since $hyne could not escape the nightmare reality he was trapped in, at that particular juncture of his life, he started attempting to mentally escape it through the form of writing and recording music. What had started out to be a hobby, quickly became a passion that caused $hyne to be able to express his thoughts verbally rather than physically and destructively. While being inspired by the likes of Lil’ Wayne, Gucci Mane, Jeezy, Starlito, Zedzilla and Memphis legends 8Ball & MJG, just to name a few, their success played an integral role into $hyne passionately pursuing a career in the music business as a recording artist.
$hyne considers himself to be the modern-day Picasso of music, the self-proclaimed Mr. Turn Water into Wine. On instrumentals he masterfully paints literary art with his heartfelt lyrics of authenticity which are derived from his experiences on this journey we call life. With his distinct style and sound, $hyne is aiming to take the music industry by storm. $hyne elaborates, “My life has really been dark, so I had no other choice but to shine in the darkness. I separate myself from everyone else. I am not just merely a rapper. I am really cut from a different cloth and my music will speak for itself. My life has great purpose and I am destined to do exactly what I am doing right now. It is my time to rise!”
So far, $hyne has collaborated with Mon Ruffin, Blue Money Muzik, Bizzle2Turnt55 and a host of others but he loved recording and performing with his late best friend, Big Rickey, whose memory lives on through $hyne. In early 2020, $hyne signed a deal with I Eat U Eat Entertainment LLC. and is currently gearing up for the release of his debut album, “Destined 2 $hyne,” exclusively produced by the Legendary Blackout. The lead single, “Realer & Realer” is currently being serviced to radio, clubs, DJs, tastemakers, music and entertainment websites, vloggers and bloggers, etc. and will soon released on all digital platforms. The single will also be accompanied with an official music video which will also be released simultaneously.
For all Public Relations, Features, Media Requests, Booking Info, Business Affairs/Opportunities, etc. concerning I Eat U Eat Entertainment’s Recording Artist, Lieutenant $hyne please contact [email protected]

NBA City Editions: 2020-2021
I didn’t make one for 2019-2020, but I may make one in retrospect when I have time.
Past editions: 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20
City Editions are hard to top each year–shoutout to the various teams among these franchises working with Nike to make this possible. While this is a critique, I can’t knock their hustle in creating new uniforms each season.
via @ConradBurry
FLAMES
IG: @nba
Miami Heat: While it’s not even the best of the Vice editions (Vice, Vice Nights, Sunset Vice, Vice Wave), every launch and surrounding visual and piece of merch has been stellar--each Vice launch even had their own unique secondary colors! Sunset Vice with the orange, Vice Wave with the highlighter yellow, Vice Versa with the lavender...besitos. It’s so Miami and it’s an excellent case study on marketing and design. I also like that the last of the Vice editions is called Vice Versa–so clever.
Brooklyn Nets: They have no excuse to run out of ideas. Basquiat (and former owner Jay-Z’s love for his art)? FLY. Basketball is an art form–the court is the canvas. I also think this opens doors for teams to collab with brands and estates; I hope one in particular comes true if you read all the way through this piece.
San Antonio Spurs: FINALLY a City Edition! They kept passing their Military Appreciation Night jerseys as City Editions–I was hoping they’d mix it up this year, and did they ever! I love the ode to the Fiesta Spurs logo and warmups of the 90s. The court steals the show–fit for the Alamodome!
Phoenix Suns: FINALLY a City Edition! Much like the Spurs, the Suns kept passing the Los Suns uniforms as City Editions. While one can argue that the Camelback Mountain grid pattern is similar to past Nuggets and Jazz uniforms, the Suns did something fresh, new, and exciting for their franchise. I also like the font used for “the Valley” across the chest. While Kelly Oubre on a horse is one of the first photos I saw of the jersey, he still gets to rock a fire uniform with his new team this season.
Toronto Raptors: I love that the Raptors returned to their notable font of the 90s with last year’s City Editions, and that they continued on the same path this year. There isn’t much info on the new editions yet, but I’m assuming that the underline represents a claw mark. What will further set it off next season is if they use the 90s Raptors font to spell “North.”
Golden State Warriors: They listened to their fan base and got it right. Dub Nation faithful were upset that San Francisco was on Warrior jerseys last season, though the players never wore Oakland on their chests during their years at Oracle or in the town in general.
Los Angeles Lakers: A nod to Elgin Baylor during season 75 of the NBA. An ode to the land of 10,000 lakes. I love honoring our older legends while they’re still here. I also love that the jerseys are icy.
I DIG
IG: @nba
New Orleans Pelicans: New Franceeeee! Much like the Spurs and Suns, the Pelicans kept passing older concepts as City Editions. New Orleans is known for so much more than Mardi Gras, and I love the new approach to classic French roots.
Minnesota Timberwolves: It’s simple, but clean. The North Star also fits their brand.
Charlotte Hornets: again, simple, clean, and on-brand.
Portland Trail Blazers: I like the homage to Native Americans and the Portland Oregon sign.
Memphis Grizzlies: Tennessee as a state is known for music, but most only think of Nashville and country music. Memphis was home to Stax Records, a staple in soul music. The Stax logo is the inspiration for the font across the chest. Two of Stax’s biggest artists were Otis Redding and Isaac Hayes. I love the concept and the reveal video (below), so yes–I can dig it.
youtube
Los Angeles Clippers: I had them in the flames column last year, but this year is stacked. I still like the Old English font though.
Chicago Bulls: it’s giving me Chicago the Musical, Gilded Age, Roaring 20s vibes. I love it. The design on the sides reminds me of Frank Lloyd Wright.
OKAY
IG: @nba
Washington Wizards: alternate logo!
Sacramento Kings: Their best city edition yet, but I don’t understand the checkered pattern making a comeback. I guess it was all in chess.
Utah Jazz: Houston Astros/Red Rock formation, but make it black.
Orlando Magic: I like the throwback to the original Magic font, but the orange (while it is the state fruit) is an overkill.
Cleveland Cavaliers: would be eh but it is creative. Colin Talboo deciphered the fonts for Cleveland’s ode to rock and roll; it features a range of artists from David Bowie and Nirvana to the Sex Pistols and NWA. Cleveland has a notable rock history, from hosting the first rock concert to being home to the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame. It’s a fitting tribute to the genre that put the city on the map.
Boston Celtics: I love the take on the championship banners, but their banners are boring in design because old school.
Atlanta Hawks: it pays homage to Dr. King, but for now, it just feels like his name on a jersey rather than a tribute. I wish they took a page out of last season’s OKC’s tribute to the bombing victims (the design on the sides of the uniforms represent the chair monuments at the National Memorial) and found a creative way to use MLK’s likeness or use the Ebenezer Baptist Church font in the unis. However, the stained glass court design is unique.
Atlanta Hawks/LinkedIn
EH
IG: @nba
Philadelphia 76ers: It’s kinda weird having houses be the main focal point of a jersey, but the 76ers organization went a very unique route in paying tribute to Boathouse Row and their lights during the bicentennial.
Houston Kings Oilers Rockets: The reveal video had nearly everything to do with the city of Houston but the Oilers (might be a Titans issue, but still). The Astrodome has been home to a great many things over the years–you have to give us more. At least throw a “Luv ya Blue!” reference in there or something! Speaking of the video as a native Houstonian, they left out a lot about the city, like how we have one of the world’s largest and best medical centers, or DJ Screw and other notable rap artists of the 90s, or how the biggest recording artists from the city were in Destiny’s Child. Being that Oilers colors are now on a basketball uniform, the look gives me Sacramento Kings vibes.
Denver Jazz Nuggets: the color is of the Denver sunset, but it doesn’t help that the Jazz already had red and nature as prominent themes in past City Editions.
Oklahoma City Thunder: It’s doing a lot of things, and it’s hard for me to make the connection to Oklahoma City.
Milwaukee Bucks: The Great Lakes remind me of Michigan more than Wisconsin.
Dallas Mavericks: beautiful play on Pegasus but it doesn’t really have anything to do with Dallas.
OOF
IG: @nba; Twitter: @desusnice
Indiana Pacers: It feels like something they’ve worn before. Maybe the FloJo font on this would set it off? Idk.
Detroit Pistons: IT’S BORING. The whole thing is boring. Retire it after this season. Alex Breeder designed some concepts–if the Nets can partner with the Basquiat estate, and if the Grizzlies can pay homage to Stax Records, the Pistons and Motown can come together to make a Hitsville USA uniform.
New York Knicks: So far, there’s no confirmation of this leak, but if this is truly the City Edition...yikes.
