As long as they don't have middle names that start with the letter K it's alright.

Ha, I was thinking the same thing but I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Those vertical stripes up close may be affecting the look versus the full length pic we had previously. I also questioned if this was new (taken today) or just newly released...

Or all those rumors about Pujols's age were understating the fact.....

[cubweiser03]

Yeah you could say Jim needs to work on his shirt rotation a little more too. That shirt must be his ace.

Wood and Miller

 

That should probably be reversed to say "Miller and Wood" since Miller's on the left and Wood's on the right. :wink:
