Terrible News...

What's up everyone...How are things going?

I've got some pretty terrible news involving Charleston, SC. I'M NO LONGER PLAYING THERE!!! I was demoted a few days ago to Staten Island and just got here two days ago. They want me to become a starter here to get more innings. So I guess that's a good thing! Cause in Charleston I wasn't going to be gettin any innings because they had 3 guys that needed to get 2 garunteed innings every third day. Add those guys plus the starters and our closer, that only leaves about 4-6 innings every 4 game series for the bullpen to use up. So the Yankees sent me here cause they want me to pitch more and they want to see me more...so a good thing...but bad in the sense that I won't be around this weekend to partay!!!

And just for the record...Greg and I were basically neighbors in the same apartment complex. He lived in 103 and I lived in 106 (just upstairs in the same building...the 100 building). And we never got to see each other once!!! I"m pretty bummed about that. We had different schedules obviously cause I dropped by a few times and no one ever answered and then when I came back later from games all his lights were off and didn't want to disturb...

So basically I suck and won't see you guys now. I didn't even see Pat who only lived about an hour and a half away!!!

On another note, I was diong well in Charleston. I had a 2.95 ERA there and my overall minor league ERA now is 3.24. I'm in the New York Penn league here so you should check out the schedule and see if anything is close by. We travel to Maryland, Vermont, and Ohio also!

Take care everyone....I'm out. And I expect a drunk phone call or two this weekend!

Peace
