1st round of cuts made: McNutt, Ha, Carillo, and Mota.

Why is it funny that McNutt got cut?

Man, we have the best home uniforms in baseball, and probably the worst road uniforms. SOMEONE FIX THIS

 

I've heard they're supposed to be making the numbers blue and some other minor changes for 2013.

 

That's an improvement.

According to BN, Casey Weathers was removed from the 40 man roster.He did walk 3 guys in 2 innings, but kind of soon to cut a guy from the 40 man so early. Could be that they needed an extra spot, although there is one available, or maybe he simply looked just that awful.

Since it's looking like Blake DeWitt will make the team it's probably for him.

That move wouldn't have to be made for a couple weeks though.

My wife is out in Phoenix this week visiting her parents. They made it to three games. Cubs/A's on Sunday, Cubs/Sox on Monday and Cubs/Rangers today. She sent me two cell phone pictures, and says she's got more.

 

Against the Sox on Monday:

I will see what she has when she gets home this weekend and upload whatever looks good.

that's not very nice of your wife to be taunting you like that

I think you missed the part where I said she's visiting HER parents. Believe me, she's not taunting me! I asked for pictures so I could share the experience, without actually being there!

There are no cheap hotels in the Valley during Spring Training!

My wife made it home late last night. I harvested the pictures from her cell phone and did the best I could with cropping and touch ups....
