Okay its been awhile which is my bad. Anyway we are approaching the halfway point of the season here, the all-star break begins Monday. We are sitting in third place at 24-19. We have lost a lot of close games, hopefully we can start winning those. Former MLB manager Tony Muser used to tell us with the Padres that 1/3 of games are easy wins, 1/3 of games you get blown out, and its the other 1/3 that make or break a team.

I will be playing in this years all-star game in Rockford, Il. Myself and 3 others from the 'bolts were selected. Hopefully I will get some exposure there and make a good impression on a few scouts and enjoy the experience. It can be frustrating always wondering if I will get signed out of here. I try to put it in the back of my mind so I can focus on just pitching.
