PICTURE PAGES



Below are some of the pics I took while wandering around Sunday during some simulated games at Papago Park. They are H-U-G-E, so let them load. Most are bad from a technical aspect and all are horrible from an artistic standpoint. They are devoid of charm, stripped of sophistication, and they took away the way I wear my hat. No, no, they can't take that away from me.

But, you see how close you can get at the Spring Training Facility versus paying gobs of money to watch 1/3 of a major league spring game and 2/3 of a cluster(ahem) in the later innings.

Yah, the A's are playing bad baseball right now.

The Bench
More of the Bench
Danny Putnam
Inside the 'Dugout'
More 'Inside the Dugout'
The Return of the Curse of More of Inside the Dugout's Ghost
Some guy who pitches with his left hand
Some guy who pitches with his right hand
Some other guy who pitches with his right hand
Stomper's Pic on the Rightfield wall
That's Clinton Myers leading off 2nd base
Some guy
Some other guy
Some guy at the plate who looks really familiar
Dustin Majewski
Not sure...
This was shot from behind the rightfield wall, where Stomper is
Can't tell who that is
Pitchers talking about defense
Clinton Myers
There are three minor leaguers wearing 54, you tell me
Don't know
Steve Jackson bending at the waist, bad form for a catcher
I want to say that's Eric Kubota with the lads
I still want to say that's more of Kubota with the lads
Just in case you've never tasted green chain-link fencing (it's NOT minty)
Some LH hitter, Jack Cust, I think
Andrew Beattie, I think
Andrew Beattie, I think 2
Andrew Beattie, I think 3
Andrew Beattie, I think 4
Andrew Beattie, I think 5
Andrew Beattie, I think 6
No Longer Andrew Beattie, I know
More chainlink fencing, oh, and Matt Watson
Matt Watson
More Matt Watson
I can't believe this guy can't get a job in the big leagues, or even a chance at a job
You would think I'd make a note of the guy with the dreds
Pfft, water
The funny thing is, the minor league guys pick up after themselves
Matt Watson and I assume a hockey puck
Hangin' at the cage, waitin' to swing
Matt being impatient
Cust and Brant "That Guy is a Freak" Colamarino
