Aramis reports Tuesday

[Sweet Swinging Billy]

"The Cubs' first full-squad workout will be Tuesday at Fitch Park. Aramis Ramirez is the only regular position player yet to work out. Ramirez was flying to Arizona from the Dominican Republic on Monday".

 

--It was also good to hear that Dempster (thus far) has been impressive in camp.

 

"He's in great shape," Piniella said of Dempster, who has been the Cubs closer the last three seasons. "The ball's really coming out of his hand well... I think he's throwing as well as you can expect in this early stage. He has good velocity, has quickened himself up to the plate delivery-wise. I'm pleased at this stage -- I couldn't be more pleased."

i think that means he was flying out yesterday and should arrive in camp today.

How is he supposed to hustle around the bases when he can't even hustle to Spring Training?

 

Sorry, I know that joke has been beaten to death.

Do you realize how long it takes to feed [expletive] nine months worth of food? Not too mention all the Louis Vuitton manbags he had to pack.
