On to Staten Island....
Tuesday, July 12, 2011
Random Thoughts
So today is the first day off this season, and it was much needed. Playing a game everyday takes a toll on you, even if you only play in every 3rd game or so. I'm sure exactly what I want to do today, but i really want to see a movie, i suppose it doesn't matter which movie cause there are a lot of good movies out right now. That being said, i could just sit inside all day and relax and watch some bleach, fmab, deathnote, and listen to the new Incubus album (which is amazing so far). Either way today should be a nice relaxing day and i intend to take advantage of it. Tomorrow morning we go out to Staten Island to play the yankees Short season team. I'm pretty stoked cause i haven't ever been there and on thursday our game is at 11am so after the game we have plenty of time to explore. Lately i haven't been able to listen to anything other than Of Mice And Men and Woe, Is Me, which definitely doesn't bother me, but now that i have Incubus' new album i doubt i'll be listening to anything other than that for a while. Anyway that's about it.

Poytress & Robinson
www.fresnobee.com
Fresno State's baseball rebuilding project grew this week after Dusty Robinson and Josh Poytress decided as expected to pass on their senior seasons and instead sign professional contracts.
Josh and Dusty started their journey as Freshman Bulldog roommates. Its been a great friendship and a tie that even the parents share. They both even had a crazy freshman summer ball trip, lol. Dusty has fought through opposition and so has his buddy Josh. Today is no different as Josh waits for Dusty's arrival of his friend @ NY Penn League. Good luck to two fine young men!

Gonzalez was named a first-team All-American and semifinalist for the Golden Spikes Award.
The Pittsburgh Pirates selected Poytress in the 18th round and was the 542nd overall pick of the draft. The left-hander recorded a 2.85 ERA in 2011 and struck out 56 batters. He earned All-WAC honors the past two seasons. Poytress allowed 12 walks and 25 earned runs in 79 innings pitched.

Josh Poytress leaves for NY Penn League
Hi my fellow Bulldog parents. I hope you are as excited about our blog as i am! This morning at 6:30 am Josh boarded his flight to begin his journey to becoming a Pittsburgh Pirate! We spent most of our day yesterday packing up his house and packing his travel bag. The brothers, Jordan, Jeremiah & Nicholas, along with Kelly & I, had dinner together at Casa Corona. Kelly kept us rolling with all his jokes, and the boys humored him by laughing anyways, lol. Later that night, Josh's beautiful sister Toridawn surprised him with her arrival after midnight. Everyone together....blessings for sure! As I am writing, Josh has let us know he has arrived at Phoenix for his connection. While grabbing something to eat, Josh ran into former teammate Jake Floethe, who is also heading to the NY Penn League. How cool is that?! Go Jake!
Josh is now boarding for the long leg of his trip...sleep well son...and have fun at the Pirates game tonight. Love, Mom
