BACK TO THE BLOG
I'm back to blogging in the yard....wish I had some good news to talk about but as you may have heard, I am out for a few weeks with a strain in my right triceps...I'm going to do everything I can to get back as soon as possible, but I've got to be a little cautious. The trainers are wanting me to go a little slower than I want to go. I'm going to trust them. They've been here before, and I haven't. I have never missed a start in my professional career. I always want to answer the bell that fifth day but injuries are part of it and this is my first experience with being sidelined for a while. I'll tell you what, we will be fine with whoever fills in the first month for Escobar and I. If it's Moseley, Adenhart or whomever, those guys can handle the situation. Spring Training has been fun, Torii Hunter has had this clubhouse laughing daily. He is a class act and a true pro. There seems to be something special going on with our lineup. Torii has come out on fire and Gary Matthews and Howie Kendrick have been knocking the ball all over the place. Of course Vlad has been doing his thing and our shortstops have been solid. I really like what I have been seeing out there, this is going to be a fun team to watch. For now, I'm going to do what I have to do to get back and help the team. I am getting anxious to get back home, it seems like forever ago since we arrived in Tempe for Spring Training. Talk to you all later.

I'm pumped for the season. I am glad to hear you have complete trust in the young arms filling Escobar's and your role. Adenhart has been shoving! What is Santana's deal? I don't believe the whole pitching at home at night thing. Ridiculous! He is a ballplayer and I believe that he can perform. Hell, he has in the past. When you and Kelvim get back there is no question about having the best pitching staff (including the bullpen) in the league. If we have to rely on the number 3 starter to start the season as the ace, I like our chances with Weaver! Take your time. We don't want this to happen again!! Hahaha. Go Halos!

Read today that your recent throwing sessions are ahead of schedule. Hope you guys aren't pressing and that the news is just indicative of how fast you heal!

Good luck with the season though. Hunter/ Matthews Jr. are great additions. Hopefully you'll meet my Reds at the Big Show.
