I'm debating whether he's trying to go for the professorial look or the investment banker look.

 

In either case, Da Farns will layeth the smacketh down on any jabroni who gets in his way!

 

Underneath that Yankee shirt is his Superman Costume. I am now convinced the Farns is a superhero. Look at that stupid hair cut, who is he fooling with those glasses. Come on!

[Soul]

I still miss the Farns.

 

I miss the fights, the chaos. I know that makes me a bad person. To hell with it! I want to see one more freaking tackle in front of the plate, one more Farns explosion in a Cubs uni.

 

Let's make him our 1B coach :cool:

I'd say we weren't too short on chaos last year even without him.

Eh. That was a slapfight.

 

Farns layed that guy the hell out.

OK, there are photos up of Pirates, Rays and Jays players, but still no Cubs

I'm guessing there wasn't much, if anything, taken of the Cubs yesterday. If there are some today, there wouldn't be any new ones until probably later in the day, since they're in AZ.

 

All those other teams train in Florida.

[UMFan83]

IT BEGINS!!!

There we go!

 

I STILL hate those friggin hats (and jerseys), though. Red/white strip is hideous.

Hank White really is creepy looking. Looks like some kind of creature with those insanely skinny long arms and fat body.

[David]

Where's Geo?

[UMFan83]

I don't know if its just the picture, but Kerry Wood looks like a cross between 2007's skinny Wood and the standard well fed Wood.

Good. 2007 Kerry was wayyyyyyy too skinny.

[Rob]

I was really hoping to see Lou report in shape...

[jyoung55]

Comments about players weight... ahhhhhh... it really is officially spring training!

 

I love Big Z smiling at the camera instead of doing the skipping drill. I'm also like Lou sporting the ring, its a nice touch.

Hey -- better than fake trades, right?

[Sammy Sofa]

Where's Geo?

 

SAY IT.

[Sicks2k]

WOW! Look at how thin Carlos looks. He must be in amazing shape! :shock:

I'll take the safe bet and go with Wood.

Henry Blanco should get a tattoo then he'd be cool
