These are great!

Kind of

See my comp HERE. Apparently Brian moonlights in the off-season as the drummer for Coldplay!

What I do find funny is that both McCann and Wagner have more hair on their face than they do their heads!

Just wondering

is tomorrow when the position players report as well? Or is that later on in the week? I’m freakin pumped for the debut of that Jason Heyward guy.

Simple approach

Wags believes throwing the football builds arm strength as well as improves grip, because if you can squeeze a football tightly, imagine how much harder you can squeeze a baseball?

No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.

by royhobbs on Feb 22, 2010 11:27 AM EST up reply actions  

i agree with that basic premise, but the throwing motions are drastically different…personally if i play football afor a couple months and then try to throw a baseball, i struggle to find the arm slot im used to. Now obviously for a professional like Wagner, thats probably not a problem.

Heyward,Hanson,and Shaffer r ready now!! Why do you think they havent signed the "right handed bat"?

i dunno now

ive used a football for arm strength and i went from having a pencil arm to throwing out people at third from RF

If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball

its different for everyone, ur arm with undoubtedly get stronger throwing anything, and ur shoulder will get a lot stronger throwing a footbal if u are throwing it properly (over the top with a high elbow)…and thats helpful obviously

He was a douche bag. I hate to sound bitter, but I was really glad when he bombed out of both sports.

Love the pics...

But I don’t think I like the new spring training hats.

The two white lines are unnecessary. They just look too busy…

Personally

they should just stick with the warmup hats for ST

They’re beginning to look like NASCAR hats.

It’s so hard to find a decent looking NASCAR hat. They have waaaaay to much shit on them.

by I Saw Buzz Beaned on Feb 26, 2010 4:49 PM EST up reply actions  

I can’t believe the guys who plaster every blank inch they can find with advertisements would have too much shit on their hats. Seriously, I’m shocked.

total torque

Look at the difference in the arm and body torque of Hanson compared to Huddy. Hudson looks like he might hurt himself at any time compared to the easy motion of Hanson.

Caption under the first Hanson pic

So he’s taking a piss, and he’s like

“WOW. I’m fucking massive.”
