   I haven’t seen many people in the stands in any of Pete’s pictures.
   What are the crowds like this year relative to past years?

   I love having Tex, but man, we’re used to seeing that #25 jersey filled out a little more. It’s weird seeing that number on the back of a player who doesn;t have a back as wide as the clubhouse tunnel

   Why are they loafing? Do they have Martina McBride on the PA system?

   Is it my imagination or does Tex wear pinstripes like a second skin?

   Re: age difference of Melky & Gardner.

   Yes, Melky’s a year younger. But please stop harping on the fact that Melky’s 3 years younger at certain levels in the minors. Melky was drafted 3 years before Brett. And Brett was drafted after his junior year in college, while Melky was drafted as a 17 year old.

   So, please, please stop telling us that Melky’s younger. We get it, but it doesn’t really mean anything.

   It’s definitely weird seeing that 25 jersey on Tex instead of the Big G. Still not used to that yet. It’s come with time though.

   Melky wasn’t drafted. He was signed as an international free agent.

    I find it funny that ESPN won’t have anything to do with Harold Reynolds, yet they have no problem with a man who once said in an interview that he would kill a newborn if he had to.
