    AJones aka fatty reports to camp



    Promising to drop pounds

    Jones gets a fresh start in L.A. He was one of the few veterans to volunteer to go to China for exhibition games against San Diego. He's in a locker next to good friend and former Braves teammate Rafael Furcal.

    He raised some eyebrows reporting to camp at 240 pounds. But he assured new manager Joe Torre he'll lose it as the season progresses.

    Jones said he doesn't feel awkward toward his old team or its front office. He saw Schuerholz at Jeff Francoeur's and Brian McCann's weddings this winter.

    "I understand their decision," Jones said. "I have no problem with that. It could be different if they had a couple talks and stuff, but there was no talks; I think they had their plan already, what they wanted to do. I had to move on."

    Jones did ask if any Brave was wearing his old No. 25. No one is. The Braves won't move on that quickly.
    Nice 36m investment so far

    Hopefully for them it's muscle weight but who knows.

    We all knew Andruw had been gaining weight the last few years, he wasn't stealing like he did when he was younger, but this is ridiculous. He's gonna have to shed those pounds, or neither he nor the team will be happy.

    Sad thing is players don't lose weight over the course of a season, they gain weight.

    Here is a pic of fatty mcfatterson.


    "They asked me if I wanted the ball in Game 6, and I said yes. I'll always say yes. That's what I did with Jack McKeon. I told him, 'Let me see how I feel tomorrow.' I went out, did a long toss, came in and said, 'I'll pitch, I want it, I want to do it.' And it ended up working out." -Josh Beckett

    Anyone else remember the twig he was his rookie year? Albeit 12 years ago, he looks so different. (And for once I can say that without implying steroid use).

    Maybe the Dodgers can do some kind of surgery putting Jones' arm on Pierre's body and make for a good CFer where Kemp and Either can get regular playing time.

    That will be featured in the next segment of Eric Byrnes' "Ultimate All-Star", right after Byrnes figures out how to surgically remove the shit from Ned Colletti's skull.

    Fatty hit his first homer yesterday. Meanwhile, slim Jim Edmonds is nursing his vagina for 2-3 weeks.
