Been a busy week, lots of stuff going on then figured I would wait until after the draft to post. There is a good discussion going on over at the HSBBW, from a parent's perspective.
Congrats to those players and their families who got drafted, tough decisions to make for some, for those that did not get drafted and have other options, sit back relax enjoy and let it happen, if it's meant to be it will (happen), if not, there is a whole lot more to life than playing at the pro level.
Dave had a tough outing on Sunday, 94 degrees in San Antonio and over 100% humidity, Dave drank for days and days before, but by the 5th he was toasted, and had to really dig deep to get by for the win (7-1 and tied with no one for the second best record in the league) and of course support as always from the team. Another shut out. Wooo hoooooo! Lost 6 punds in that outing. Beleive it or not, his next start is saturday, well you know what we will be doing saturday night! Good night for baseball though, big crowds and big expectations.
The road trip began in Corpus Christi, 14-15 hours away from home, the team leaves early afternoon on tuesday. Then it's watch a movie, then it's time to try to sleep, no such luck. By the time they arrived back home, 8 days later, early on a tuesday after traveling all night long, it's eat time and then home to bed. Exhausting.

Man, that is awesome! 7-1 !!!! Wow. Great things happening for this young man who has worked his butt off. I saw the Cards released about 6-7 pitchers today so this may (or may not) be good news for Dave.
