I assume we're milking Roycroft for at least 1 inning?

Maalox Moment.

Hayes just says that MARP was heavy set when he started his career?
What?
I’m even looking at photos in case I forgot

He was overweight when in college at TCU, but lost weight before making it to the show.

I remember hearing about that when he played and couldn’t believe he used to be over weight either

Looks like he lost the weight but didn't get his new uniform yet.

Not that it'll ever happen, but if the Cards wanted to bring in the fences at Busch, do they have to get league permission or do they just do it write a letter to MLB indicating why?

They have to do it before the season starts, but I think the dimension changes must be OK'd by the league.

Best picture ive seen of him heavyset

Also you dont see full body here, but in this image you can tell his face is not nearly as slim as when he was in major leagues

if they would ok that stupid/dangerous Tal's Hill at Minute Maid I'm sure they would ok almost anything

I agree, that was dangerous and should not have been approved.

we have to make use of TV Dinner (Svanson), he's our 27th man today. Or not. I guess it depends on the score of the game?
