I've been all over the place over the past couple weeks that it's been difficult to keep the site updated. I promise to work a little harder. So let's talk about a few things here. First is baseball...

After my first start of the year in Kalamazoo, I left a bit unsatisfied. Only throwing 4 innings and leaving with a 3-1 deficit was not what I wanted out of my first start, but not pitching efficiently will do that to you. So, it's 5 days later and I pitch at Southern Illinois tomorrow. The temperature is supposed to reach 90 and it's an all-turf field so yo can add about 10 degrees to the original number. Should be fun. If fun is feeling like a wet rag covered in dirt. I'll write about the game tomorrow since we have internet here.

                                          

Kalamazoo was a memorable trip. Not only did we get lost on the way there, but it was a 4 hour detour. That was something else. But during the opening game, as I was charting pitches from behind home plate, 2 young, good-looking women were walking around the stadium. They walk up the bleachers to me. The next second I'm holding a free pass to the local strip club, called Deja Vu. Yea, these young, innocent looking ladies were strippers and were sent on a mission to attract some young dollars. I don't think anybody actually went, but it was enticing. Instead, we all went out and had a team bonding experience around town in the small Michigan college town. Prior to this night, our team was struggling and suffering an abysmal 1-6 start. Since this night, we've played much better and continue to work on a 4-game winning streak. Tomorrow is my turn to bring it to five.

In other news, the U.S. Open is coming up and I'm liking Adam Scott as usual. I really can't see Tiger Woods winning. In fact, I'm calling for Tiger to not win the U.S. Open and Big Brown to lose to Casino Drive in the Belmont Stakes.
