Update on Jordan.........his MRI showed a 2nd degree strained groin (GOOD NEWS!). The doctor thought he might have a hernia which would have ended his season with surgery........10 more days off and BACK TO WORK! Go Dust Devils!

On to Staten Island....

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.

First Start
So i got to the field today and i found out that tomorrow i'm getting my first pro ball start! i'm pretty pumped for it, and hopefully i do really well and i keep a starting role on the team. We won our second game in a row today which is a record for us. Hopefully this is the start of a good winning streak, because at 5-11 we really need one. I just gotta go out tomorrow and help get that 3rd win in a row. Thats all for now.

New Home
Well now i'm finally with a host family and they are pretty cool people. It should be a lot of fun. I'm staying with another player, and we live in the basement, but it's a pretty nice basement. The only thing that is kinda lame is that the basement is about 35 degrees, so i gotta have clothes on the whole time. My first outing out here didn't go nearly as well as i had hoped, but nothing ever really goes as planned. Hopefully i get to come in again soon, and i do as good as i know i can. The first few weeks i kinda missed my friends and Fresno, but the more i explore this place and get to know the guys on the team i don't really miss fresno anymore. I still miss some.

First Bullpen
So yesterday i got to throw my first bullpen out here and it went pretty well. The pitching coach was impressed and said i did a good job! so i'm pretty stoked on that. I think today i find out when i'm pitching and if i'm starting or if i'm coming out of the pen. I think it'll be out of the pen though, because we already have a full starting rotation, but that doesn't bother me. I am now in Ohio for a three game series, it should be fun! e people, but i think i can make do with texting until i come back sometime in september.
First Week of Minor Leagues
Well the trip out to Pittsburg to sign was pretty fun, minus the fact i had to get up at 430am to go to the airport. After flying to Arizona and then to Pittsburg, i was pretty exhausted, but i had to meet up with a rep from the team and then check out the Pirates and Orioles game that was going on. After a few innings i left because i was exhausted from my trip. I went o bed at 930pm which was the earliest I've ever been to bed before. I woke up at 4am and couldn't fall back asleep so i had to stay up until 7am which was when my physical was. So after my physical i got to watch more of another game while i waited for my physical to go through. After that i officially signed my papers and got shipped out to state college to meet the team i'll be playing on. After meeting a few of the guys, i got my gear and then went to my hotel to sleep. The next day we headed out Jamestown NY to play our first road series. It was a pretty uneventful trip, but our first game yesterday got rained out, and today isn't looking any better. More to come, time to go to the field.
