This is really a great shot

On many levels

Thanks...

I try not to get too caught up in my own stuff, but this one really struck me as well.

Nice shots

Maybe others pointed this out earlier, but I think I saw you on the broadcast today, camera in hand, and it seemed to be the location from which these were taken.

Next to Miles and Theriot, he IS a giant!

I know

but you can’t even see his feet so he’s on the back of the mound or ground… he shouldn’t look that much taller than Riot who is on the mound itself!

Thankfully it wasn't Fonty on the mound :)

I don't think people realize how short...

most middle infielders actually are. Here’s a shot with Lee that maybe gives you a better idea.

How tall is Miles? About 5-2?

That’s just ridiculous.

I'd like to see him standing next to Mike Fontenot.

Fontenot and Miles are both listed at 5-8. Fact: Fontenot is about 5-6. I doubt Miles is that tall.

Don't have a shot handy...

But I’m pretty certain Fonty is taller.

by Damen Jackson on Jun 18, 2009 8:28 AM CDT up reply actions  

If you ever see the two of them standing next to each other...

… take one and post it.

Awesome.

They look like Russian nesting dolls.

BSG Girls = Cubs Win! So say we all.

Looks like Demp is checking to see...

…whether the Cubs offense is buried under the pitcher’s mound.

I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.
