New Lows

Ok, so I know my last post was "Worst Bus Ride Ever", but it actually wasn't...it is now second to the bus ride we had back from El Paso to Amarillo.  I have been on my share of bad busses and had bad rides but this tops them all.  I have been on a bus that lost its breaks going into an intersection with a red light, I have had no ac, I have even slept on the floor of a charter bus from Myrtle Beach to Delaware.  This one was still the worst ever.  First of all I think the shocks on this thing were shot.  And guess what, the air didn't work!!!  Imagine 22 miserable guys in their 20s.  Yea there was a lot of cussing a yelling and jumping up and down.  Whatever you can think of it probably was said.  It was unreal.  7 hours on a bus with no air and bouncing up and down the road like bouncy balls.  I may have slept 2 hours.  Guys were sweating like crazy all through the  ride.  The only good thing was that my bunk had a window in it so I had it all the way open getting a little air on my head.  I had my arm hanging out the window to try to bring in some extra air for the other guys.  They could feel a little breeze when I did that so I did it for a while.  When we got back at 6:30 I went to my room and watched tv for about an hour and then fell asleep until about 12:45.  That is the life in the minor leagues right there!

Now for the game last night.  My game last night is almost laughable.  I was 0-6 with 5 groundouts to the short stop and 1 k.  I don't think I have ever had an 0-6 game in my life.  There is a first for everything I guess.  We won the game something like 14-2 and I also threw out the one guy that tried to steal second on me and I called a great game behind the plate.  I am dissapointed in how slowly my bat is coming around so far but what can you do?!  The only thing to do is keep swinging and be aggressive.  Baseball is such a weird game.  Hits come in bunches and I must have a some really good games waiting for me just around the corner!
