Spring Training - 2.25

Greetings from Florida:

Coco Crisp is like, wicked bald. I think I would prefer some hair.

How much longer till Tony gets the boot?

Stupid sign. And I have a feeling I will be seeing many signs bearing the same phrase throughout the season. I bet he's never heard that one before!

This man smiles in about 94.7% of all pictures he appears in.
I guess this solves the mystery of Gabe Kapler's Number. He has Orlando Cabrera's old number (I miss Oooolando), and Beckett has his old number. And yeah, that is Trot Nixon.
That's amusing.

Some sad news: 'With Johnny Damon, Kevin Millar and Doug Mirabelli now playing for other teams, the clubhouse has definitely been at a lower volume level in the early days of Spring Training.
The lovable "Idiots" as Damon named them during the 2004 postseason, have been replaced by a more business like group.'

I don't want a business-like group! I want crazy, fun fools who make dumb comments and make up those crazy (really complicated) hand clapping ritual things. Any direction that leads to a more Yankeeized group is a wrong direction.
