Any predictions on the first ST injury?

 

 

Bite your tongue.

 

That's a new one. Someone bites their tongue so hard that the pain is unbearable for 2 weeks. Keep the creativity coming.

Warms the cockles just to see a few snapshots.

 

Oh and the ST hats suck monstrously hard. I'm not a big fan of the "pit stain" jerseys either.

Wood scares the hell out of me when he pitches. I get scared he's going to whip my butt every time i see that face.

I just like the way that rolls off the tongue. It's got a great cadence to it.

I love Kerry, but he scares me with every pitch for a different reason.

Kosuke has reported

 

Fukudome in the house

By Paul Sullivan, 10:48 a.m.

 

MESA, Ariz. -- Kosuke Fukudome was welcomed to the Cubs clubhouse Friday morning by wacky pitcher Carlos Zambrano, who was wearing a jersey with Fukudome's number 1 after slipping a No. 11 jersey into the Japanese star's locker.

 

Zambrano told Fukudome that the pitcher was "the real No. 1," though in reality, we all know Zambrano is only No. 1 in walks allowed and punches thrown at teammates.

 

Eventually, Zambrano took off the jersey and handed it to Fukudome, who quickly learned he had been Punk'd. Fukudome smiled all the way through the prank, as the Japanese media horde, along with several Chicago TV stations, recorded every second.

 

Bet Paul couldn't resist taking some shots at Z.

[Sammy Sofa]

"Wacky pitcher?"

 

Ugh.

 

I have a feeling it's more like, "oh, Carlos, everything you do is hilarious! Now please don't snap me in half."

[Guest]

According to Muskat, Guzman is already throwing from 45 feet. He had TJS last September.

Yipee!!! I just found out, compeltely unexpectedly, that I may get to go to Spring Training March 7-9!!! If this pans out I will be SOOOO Pumped....Wheee!!!!!!!!!

I'll be sitting in a conference room for 48 hours straight, trying to make sure my customer's needs are met. And it will no doubt be bitter cold outside.

 

Yes, this is a blatant play for sympathy :mrgreen:

 

Have fun down there. Not sure if you have been before -- take a jaunt over to Fitch in the early morning, they'll be doing practices that are really open. You'll have a great opportunity to pick up a baseball or two off a foul ball or a homer. I got like 3 in just about an hour last time I was there :)
