Bloggers,

   Well I apprecaite the comments u have been sending me. Mlb has decided not to promote my post but I will still read and keep up with all those that reply and send messages my way.

   Things are starting to turn around here in AAA. I feel great as of late and am continuing to feel better about myself not only as a person but also on the field. With the help of family, friends, and all those that are close to me it has made this transistion period easier. Thank you to all and continue to look at this site for I will keep it posted as much as possible.

   My last 3 outings since my last post have been so much better and i am beggining to feel as though things are starting to roll for me. I recently got my first loss to the Columbus Clippers who are the NY Yankees affiliate here in AAA. They are a great hitting team and I survived through 6 inn. giving up only 4 hits and allowing 3 runs while striking out 8. Even though we ended up losing the ballgame, I felt as though I kept them in there as much as I could and gave my team a chance to win. We are starting to play alot better as a team and it has been fun to watch lately. I think we are becoming more confident in the way things are going.

  As for myself, I am continuing to work hard and pushing myself to get back to the way I used to feel. So far, so good. I will continue to keep the site updated as much as possible and look forward to hearing from all those that write in.

   I thank you again for all the support and look forward to writing next time.

    Glad to see you posting again! I was afraid you just decided to forget it.

    The Wings are looking good as a team and I can see your last few games have been pitched well. The Twins have alot of talent, one of the reasons Rochester went with them as an affiliate. But I believe you’ll have a great shot a making the big league club based on your ability and the teams financial situation. Keep up the posts and know we will always be reading.

    J.D., you were, are, and always will be a midget with a ego the size of china. Too bad your skills in the bed and on the field are lacking… I enjoy watching you get lit up every time you take the mound and hope that you crash your denali. You are the biggest ********* I have ever met. Oh, by the way, has your mom kept slutting around with Dante?
