Players try to find shelter from the rain.

 

Heh...who is that playing Spider-Man at the end? Sori? Pie?

 

My best guess would be Pie (but they have similar body types).

[David]

I think it's Sori. Under Armor shoes (I know he did give some gear to Pie, but still), and the high socks. Plus, it just looks like him to me.

Sori doesn't wear Under Armour shoes. He wears Reebok shoes. It's Pie.

Good catch

 

I forgot that he didn't wear UA shoes; had to sneak a peak of his picture...

Good call. I noticed it later, when I saw some action pics of him. I guess he just has a deal for arm bands, gloves, and undershirts... :)

Here's some video of the Cubs taking batting practice at Hohokam Saturday before leaving for Scottsdale to play the Giants. The video was recorded by Tim Sheridan, PA announcer at Hohokam and operator of boysofspring.com web site.

Did Lou say "Blanco go get a base hit this spring, or what?" or something in those terms in the beginning?

 

:lol:

 

Nice vid.. thanks for posting.

*sigh*

 

I wish I never took up video games as a kid and instead kept playing baseball

[Did Lou say "Blanco go get a base hit this spring, or what?" or something in those terms in the beginning?

He did say something like that. Tim's introductory comments on his site indicated that Piniella was giving Blanco a hard time over his lack of hitting this spring.

Worked for Walker. Statistically, it's been proven he hit better when he had the scruff working. :)

DeRosa must've taken the "Old Spice Challenge".

No "wildflowers and shame" for Mark!

Rammy catches the ball while Ronny looks on

 

Aramis looked seriously annoyed with Cedeno after that close call. Then Cedeno flinched HUGE when Aramis tossed the ball away, like Rammy was going to smash him.
