I walked to the Candy store only to see this crazed guy at the counter talking to a bag of skittles so I bought a couple bags. He yelled at me don't eat my skittles or I will find you. Freaky I thought to myself.

So I drove home we had a game that next morning against the Lousville Speedsters so I would get plenty of Ks.

At the game Coach told me if I get more than seven Ks tonight ill be called up to the A's but I didn't think i was ready yet.

Top of the ninth I have a perfect game going with 9 Ks my thoughts were flowing wildly and then I thought I have two outs and 1-2 count what should I throw to this big slugger

A) Slow Curve
B) Cutter
C) fastball at the knees
D) Eephus

I practiced Breaking Ball my cutter is now Lvl 4 and My Slow curve is Lvl 3

After practice I went home and showered and went to bed. The next week I did nothing but hit the gym and practiced
Case Royal
Top speed 95
Ctrl C 135
Stamina A 150
Cutter Lvl 4
Slow Curve Lvl 3

My next start I faced the Red Sox at Home against A knuckleballer Tim Wakefield who was 44 at this point so I guess I have an easy start. After 6 and 2/3 I feel pretty good also I was kept in until the 8th inning when I threw a pitch that was hit back to me on a line
What do I do
A) duck
B) Catch
C) let it hit you in the leg

I played a little chuck and duck as I ducked out of the way of the screaming liner back at me as I turned the shortstop Cliff Pennington dove forward for it and caught it so I ended up being taken out after 8 innings
Giving up two runs and 8 hits striking out 11 while the A's got 5 runs in the bottom of the 8th giving me my second major league win as Wakefield got rocked. A's now are 7-3 up ahead of the second place Angels by two games. In the post game interview my teammates soaked me in Gatorade and after that I went home and went to bed after a midnight snack of In-N-out.
It was a off day April 16, 2009 what should I do

A) Hangout with Lance
B) PARTY!!!!
C) practice
D) Find a GF
