Hey all. Sorry for not posting on this in like...forever! But here's a quick (maybe not) run down of what is going on with me. Enjoy.
I've finished my first year with the Yankees and it ended quite well. I was promoted to High A Tampa to finish out the year and I did quite well there. My ERA was around a 2.4 and I had more K's than IP. I'm not sure what all my exact stats were this year but if you go to this webiste it'll give you a look at all of my stats from all 4 stops I had this year. http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?n=John%20Axford&pos=P&sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=446099
My worst place was Charleston. After leaving Staten Island to go back to Charleston in the very beginning of August my ERA there was a 2.95. I had two crappy outings and raised it above a 4 but then was promoted to Tampa! So I guess it wasn't all bad there either...just two bad outings.
Based on my age and how well I finished up this year I will most likely start in High A Tampa and possibly even AA in Trenton, NJ. I didn't think I would ever be saying this but I'm hoping to live in the armpit of America come next April! But that requires me to kick some John Axford ass this offseason and work out all the kinks from this past year! I've heard good things about these steroids...maybe even a little HGH!!! HAHA. Ya right!
Well, outside of ball now, I'm currently trying to find a job and an apartment. So if anyone has either of those for me please tell. Apparently every place I apply to or send a resume in decides that I suck at life and never call me back. Even when they say that they will. I might have to go see if McDonalds will let me flip burgers...but even then I have a feeling that they wouldn't hire me!
I am trying desperately to make it to the BC game. My only problem right now is my lack of job, which means lack of money... And since the game is in two weeks those 14 days will certainly take a toll on my bank account along with that weekend. Plus I live with the lady friend ... and haven't relyed on the parents in quite some time! I'm desperately trying because all of you seem like you'll be there plus the 2002 baseball team is having a reunion. We're even supposed to be playing a game against each other at 9am on Saturday...along with the 1957 World Series team. So that could be cool to watch and get drunk too for a while. Hell no I ain't playin. Season ended September 2nd...meaning I haven't done a thing since September 2nd (except for a 10K run for cancer which I kicked ass in).
My offseason program starts up this Monday so maybe this week will bring new change into my life...like a job and some money. Then I can steal my girlfriends car and head down to the SB to see all you guys.
I'll try and fill you all in some more in the days/weeks to come!
Peace
Ax
