Interesting chat with the players at last night's Pep Rally

As expected, Simmons could hardly breath with a continuous line for his autograph.
Blakely missing with the flu. Johnny said getting rest and still expect him to be ready to go.
Victor was a very impressive young man. Very thoughtful in thanking fans and privately expressed frustration for the team not playing well down the stretch. Know they have to win all 3.
Coach Jones...as always kept it real positive....a real class act. I didn't have the courage to tell him though to keep it real...the team underperformed under his leadership.
Really enjoy chatting with our 2 walk ones, Eddlestone and Shortess. They have bright futures ahead as youn men.
Gray handles himself well and has really grown into a very composed young man.
Eps is a total cut up
