Dis was really quick.

I'm pumped about Blair though.

[Julio3000]

Cool to see Blair, Swanson, and Albies out there. Mallex, too.

[mossy]

Lookin forward to this one. Lots of young talent out there.

[UNCBlue012]

I hope this is a good one. I love that we have so much to look forward too.

[clvclv]

No XM. Anyone got a link to a live stream that isn't MLB.radio???

[striker42]

I can't wait to actually watch Mallex play. He's the kind of exciting, fun to watch player we haven't had in years.

[striker42]

Mallex may not have any power to speak of but that speed will make for a ton of XBHs.

[striker42]

Just listed to Francoeur walk in his first AB. Funny. I dont remember taking any hallucinogenic drugs.

[msstate7]

Should've shut down Blair after the 1st... Jeez

[mossy]

No trouble with letting him be tested a little. Unlike Hibaldo, he worked out of it.

Nothing says "Spring Training" like overreacting to tiny samples, but damn, if seeing Albies and Mallex running wild don't give one reason to believe.

I think it is fine for fans to be a bit excited over a couple of guys, who have hit well in the minors, kill a game like today... we have been without baseball for months and without good baseball for longer.. ease back on the buzz kill.. I am sure pretty soon you can go back to being happy when team scuffles a bit..

Agreed. Mallex got hits off MLB pitchers, too. I wonder how fast the home run trots for Mallex and Ozzie were?

If there's one guy who can't get enough tiny samples at Sams or Costco it's the Reasonable Believer.
