Update

First of all, hats off to the Lakers. So pumped, repeat next year hopefully against the Cavs so the Lebron/Kobe debate gets settled. Seems pretty obvious to me, but some people just don't get it...hopefully you aren't one of these clowns.

As for baseball, the Thunderbolts are sporting a 13-10 record, its all bunched up near the top of the standings, we are 2 games back of River City who we are playing right now. They have a solid squad, a couple guys were in AAA last year.

We got rained out tonight, first rainout of the year, so we have the ole double header tomarrow. For us players a rainout is spent sitting in the clubhouse watching TV, listining to music and playing cards for a few hours. Through much training I have learned to focus on each of these mediums at the same time, it is truly an art form, you can't teach it.

I have been doing well, just going about my business and getting outs as best I can. I am now the closer which is a lot of fun for me. I love being in that pressure position which brings out the best in me. The combination of adrenaline and focus is a blast.

Last series we played at Southern Illinois against my old buddy Tyler Davis. We played together at SBCC (part of the "big 3" of 2005. Tyler, Justin Aspegren, and myself). We also both played for the Padres together. It is very ironic how our baseball lives cross at the unlikeliest of junctions. What are the odds we end up at the same JC, then get drafted by the same MLB team, then both get released by that team and play against each other in the Frontier league.

I told him that if we meet again on the field in three years it better be in the big leagues.
