The beard. Out of my personal favorite is parties. His is phenomenal so full. I wish I Padilla. It. Competition wise I'm not sure how to answer that. I would say Blevins -- I had a pretty darn good off season ticket -- to believes. And you know do everything there was to do there's no other blogs. It sure is tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Got a little special day for her girlfriend and. Well on what. You -- the. I don't know last year my girlfriend made my favorite cake now is pretty awesome actually. There was. And allocate our white cake with. Chocolate frosting -- -- It -- her. Career. Well I mean we all -- mountain you know mountains is no Valentine. I think the -- that your optical. You -- hit it well and you read this -- getting to the tee balls and the relievers. -- -- I think it's it's very exciting you know we know. A little bit of who's who and how we got some great additions to it you know we'll see what happens with everybody. But I think we're really excited to get back down there and done so hopefully build on the success that we. Had as a unit last year and two you know take that into 2013 and help this team win ball games and however we can. As I could do little about. How hard ability to channel that energy and you guys were lights out and September and October in that off the energy of the crowd and everything that we April. Do you think it's going to be hard and -- had in mind for now that you. You know I IE I truly believe that's. When she gets that level you can remember what it's like to be at that level. You know and I think I think that's the goals to get there reality you know of possible. Obviously the situation is not. As big but realistically it is because that we want a few more games in April we might not have been put in the predicament that we were in September. So it's you know however you want to look at it but I think every game just as important. And now knowing you know emotionally how best you can -- I think that that the postage for everybody down in the bullpen and we know London and think we're trying to get there again. And it's also mention is were talking a little bit about like what the bullpen and song look -- against the -- you haven't done anything come -- -- it. You know I think that's something we've just got to read it's it's got to develop itself I don't think that's anything you can force or anything. That you can say. But for sure often but so we'll see. It pretty sure they'll -- comfortable. That. Yeah. Mean it really you know what. Not that I'd just like that actually you know we're we're all really close friends down there from top to bottom. And I think that. That makes it fun number one of them makes it competitive number two you know you always want to try and one up your body straight so. I mean always joke with each other you know he told me they were given his pitches nicknames they were some days. But you know other than we -- just took advantage of it is little competitive fun. I was pretty. Not independently of the bunker and it seems like this team. Did you Saturday night for you guys. -- know what race better leadership -- yeah. Oh absolutely last year tremendously you know. Let's not forget last year we had you know TO Brian Fuentes to learn from us well. And both of those guys knowing where they've been and what they've accomplished in their careers. On the assumption that we all looked to absolutely down there and just really the way they go about their business being professional you know. Down there in the situation we were coming in games it was you really -- or you're zero. And so to see either way you sometimes have to handle being the zero even though you don't ever want to be. But knowing how to take those balls and get right back and pick right back to where you left off I think. You know we've learned a lot of in terms of that aspect. That last season by. Again we get really suitable it's that is them. -- -- -- we've got guys that you know can pick each other out from tops -- -- being four if need be. You know all the way through. No. I don't. I'm sure there's been bullpen that have been lights out it's clearly not the first. But I I truly believe that the guys we have down there. Our lights out and that we can that can hopefully obviously continues to be that.
