There he is, have no clue about that thing on his face! Ugh!

The cardinals allow facial hair, but has to be neatly groomed and no one in the organization is allowed a Tim Lincecum doo. They are what you would say old school, but Dave is used to that from Clemson. A very good friend of mine told me the older the organization, with more history, the more they have their certain way of doing things. Like pants rolled up for milb players, that goes for everyone, coaches and managers included. You don't see that in every organization, the Marlin milb guys (some of them) don't roll their pants up. Of course they don't have the fancy socks (that look like stirrups) like the cards do. :)

The team is doing well and Paul said that this is the first time since college that he's heard him so excited about "winning". I think that a lot has to do with the atmosphere, 7-8K in attendance, promotions, loyal fans that love you no matter what you do, he didn't have that in the FSL. A few hundred here or there in the stand, a bit busier when they played the Marlins.

The boys have off tomorrow then a short 4 hour trip to Oklahoma to play the Tulsa Drillers, DK pitches on saturday.
