Nice to see Samardzjia hasn't cut his hair.

Gallagher definitely looks older for some reason.

On SportsNite they reported that Jose Ascanio had a black eye after an attempted robbery outside an Arizona convenience store. Jose had no money so he was punched. Luckily that was all that happened to him.

I hope this season doesn't turn into the freak injury/incident type.

I haven't read this thread yet, so I apologize if it has already mentioned, but does anyone know when we will have our first televised spring training game?

(I'm running out the door and hoping that someone will give me some good news for when I return in a few hours)
