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....

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.

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.
