Lynchburg

After my last post i got settled in in Winston-Salem and my Aunt Lisa's house. It is about half an hour away so I don't spend much time there. I usually have weights at 10 in the morning downtown so I just hang around downtown before going to the field at about 2.

I did well in my last start and will now be in the starting rotation. I am scheduled to pitch tomorrow (Sunday) but it appears we are in for some big storms spurred by Hurricane Bill.

We are on another 7 day roadtrip, right now in Lynchburg Virginia. We were scheduled for a double header yesterday but it rained out game 2. At one point we were sitting in the dugout and it was raining lightly and all of a sudden in the bleachers on the 3rd base side it just started pissing in one spot and then that little spot slowly moved across all the bleachers and onto our dugout on the 1st base side. It was like when the fans do the "wave."

Lynchburg is where Liberty University is. I remember because they had a solid basketball teams back in the day and went to the NCAA Tournament a few times. Lynchburg is the Pirates affiliate and there are a few guys I know on the team. Wally Whitehurst is the pitching coach. He was my pitching coach with the Padres in 2007 with Fort Wayne and in 2008 with Lake Elsinore. Also R.J. Rodriguez who I played with on both those teams above. Also Jordy Mercer and Justin Wilson who I played with on the 2006 national champion SB Foresters.

Right now I am watching the little league world series. I used to love watching these games, now it makes me a little mad because of how the announcers talk and so overly positive agggh, its a little sickening. Also why do they gotta wear their hats up with their bangs hanging down below? bad look. They are pretty good, its pretty impressive. This kid is throwing in the high 70's from 48 feet i threw in the high 70's my senior year of HS haha.
