2007 Spring Training NOW WITH PICTURES thread

[RichHillIsABeast]

I think the lack of ST pics is because reporters were scared off last Spring Training.. Here's an example of the many travesties..

The sad part is Neifi doesn't even notice. Well broken in from many a ST.

Even though there still aren't many photos from Spring Training, this thread has been quite entertaining.

Sanders, your daughter can have $100k if she wins a Gold Glove.

Looks like the Phillie's are going with the dreaded "All Catcher lineup", rarely used in contemporary baseball. Though this alignment leaves many areas of the field open, it provides stellar defense against pop fouls.

Plus it confuses the heck out of batters! ;)

I knew I should have been a baseball player. It was -20F here this morning, my Truck brakes needed to be pumped a few times just to get enough brake fluid to keep me from rolling into the ditch across from my driveway.

 

Even a coaching position would sound good right now. How about "director of hydration?" Anything to get down to Zona :)

I saw a few pictures of Kerry Wood this morning on "Comcast Sports Rise" and he looks really slimmed down. He looks like a little boy. He must have lost about 10 pounds from his head.

D'you know that the human head weighs 8 pounds?

 

Kerry's the headless Cub and there's 2 pounds unaccounted for! :shock: :lol:

That's easy to explain, the textile industry reserves the best for NY and Paris shows in the spring, that leaves all the tacky material to MLB, who then contracts a designer off one of those hokey shows on cable TV to design them. Thus saving more money.

He looks like a troll. Not an internet troll, but a fairy tale troll

Awesome! My school has to get some of that!

[Butterscup1679666578]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Soriano pic of his bad fielding isn't him playing a batted ball.

 

Mmm...baseball. How I missed you.
