I'm Coming For You

Ive had an eventful week. Been a bit sick and I actually had to go to the ER last friday. I was admitted to the hospital and got discharged on wed been home for a week now. Free agency obviously has begun and I finished a deal for one of our 6 year minor league free agents while I was in the emergency room with an IV in my arm. It was a pretty surreal moment but talent never sleeps. I owe it to everyone I work for to mean what I say, and when they hear me tell them Ill work until I cant anymore, they know Im telling the truth. So Ive done alot of things in my lifetime, but never have I done a deal while in an emergency room.

Im still here

Hold It In Your Gut

Friday is the big day. 40 Man rosters are finalized and we're expecting some good news. For the guys not added, its just another day. To the guys added, well, one step closer to reaching their ultimate dream. It's usually a pretty special day. The guys not added will have the opportunity to be selected in the rule 5 draft. Its going to be a busy few weeks.

Winter meetings are coming up. I cant wait to get out there. Ive been preparing for months.

Been in the hospital this week, sick as can be. Got admitted after heading to the ER on sunday. I'm doing okay now for the most part, the staff here has been amazing.

Talk to you all soon

I'm Late!

Every november 12th I watch the entire back to the future trilogy. Its like a holiday for me.11/12 was the day that young Marty McFly went back to the future, and for those history buffs out there, its also the date of the famous hill valley lightening storm. Ive been very sick all week so I actually am glad I had a chance to watch all 3 given the circumstances. Im currently doing some paper work while watching Demolition Man. Headed on the road again sunday then some other things.

Brent Brewer is not going to play football. The rumor is bogus.

That is all

Now That I'm Older My Heart Is Colder I Can See That It's A Lie

First post of the new month. Took a while I suppose. I drove 250 miles round trip today. Finally got home.

Headed to the AFL friday. Have 8 guys there. Should be able to accomplish alot.
Doing some draft work.... It never gets easier. In fact it gets sharper and much more painful potentially.

Listening to the Arcade Fire quite a bit.

Will post from the AFL

Soft And Sweet

This is not baseball related at all but I read this quote today which I am totally embarrassed to say I had never read until just now. It's beyond touching and it's probably one of the best quotes I have ever read in my life. To think a 15 year old girl had the depth to feel this way.

"Because when everybody starts hovering over me, I get cross, then sad, and finally end up turning my heart inside out, the bad part on the outside and the good part on the inside, and keep trying to find a way to become what I’d like to be and what I could be if . . . if only there were no other people in the world."
