February 16, 200917 yr Let's use this thread as a place to get all those pictures up there for those of us that really miss baseball.
February 16, 200917 yr Spring has officially started. Nothing gets me tingling like seeing grown men stretch by the fence. errrrrr. Maybe I should phrase that better.

February 16, 200917 yr great pics, thanks! funny blurbs from Oz today... One of the most interesting things that occurs each day early in camp is Ozzie's meeting with the media. He was in form again today. When asked about Carlos Quentin's 2008 performance and his chances of repeating it: "Surprised. This kid wasn't even in the starting lineup on Opening Day. He works hard and it was his first full season in the big leagues. He really proved me wrong. Thank God he did. It shows that if you work hard and put the time in like he did, you'll get results. "He's not the man on this ballclub," Guillen said, naming Konerko, Thome and Dye. "He's a big piece of the puzzle." Yet again on the White Sox getting little respect: "It's up to the players. I think we have a team that's good. If we stay healthy, we have a chance." (Sound a little like that bus scene from Bull Durham?) On who impressed him on the mound yesterday: "Gavin. He was amazing. And Danks. We had these guys throwing 96 next to Buehrle." Contreras continues to draw comments based on his new physique and quick recovery from Achilles surgery. "I'm not going to hold him back. It will be up to him when he gets out on the mound to throw. I talked to him today face-to-face, and he'll let us know when he's ready." And talk of Contreras led to a question about Bartolo Colon and his physique: "He weighed 350 pounds when he won a Cy Young Award. He's not a model. He's not a jockey. He's actually in better shape than I expected." Closing Zinger From a clubhouse smart-alek: "I guess we missed Uribe so much that we brought one and a half of him back and called him Franklyn (as in German)."

February 19, 200917 yr Viciedo looks like a football player, just goofing around with a major league baseball team.
February 19, 200917 yr QUOTE (MurcieOne @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 05:04 PM) Viciedo looks like a football player, just goofing around with a major league baseball team. Bears could use a D-lineman or two.
February 20, 200917 yr Wait, is he only 6ft? I thought he was taller...just the descriptions of him make him sound like he's 6'5, no matter, height doesnt matter too much in this game, if your good your good.
February 20, 200917 yr He's listed at 6'1" but numerous reports from Sox camp have him at 6' or shorter.
February 20, 200917 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Feb 19, 2009 -> 07:44 PM) In that last picture he almost looks like Frank. i was JUST gonna say that. he looks like a certain someone who i wouldn't mind him emulating one bit...
