Here's a new top 5 playlist. A few of the songs I'm into right now. It will be in my imeem playlist over to the right pretty soon.

Brother- Dark New Day

Falling Down- Atreyu

Devour- Shinedown

Time of Dying- Three Days Grace

Paper Thin Hymn- Anberlin

Hey everyone. I must say that winning the International League Championship was a thrill and was a welcome positive on this otherwise negative season. It was nice to pitch well in the AAA playoffs and then get back to the big leagues and pitch pretty well for the short time I was able. Right now I'm just focused on carrying that over into the Arizona Fall League. I plan on coming into spring training with a positive attitude and in great shape.

To be a part of the team during the last game of Yankee Stadium was an honor. Seeing all those great players go out to their positions really put this game and my opportunity into perspective. Something I will definitely never forget. As my family told me afterwards I was caught on camera taking some dirt from the mound. It's in a little plastic bag and will be something I can keep forever. Pretty cool day.

Lastly, I just got the chance to watch the season premiere of The Office on iTunes. We were playing in Toronto on Thursday so I missed it. Dwight spraying bug spray into the vending machine after all the healthy food was rotting. Priceless! Take care everyone.

A few of you may know we advanced past Pawtucket in the first round of the International League playoffs and will kick off the Championship round tonight against Durham. We have a great team and hopefully we can win this whole thing. A lot of great pitching match ups in each game. You should really check it out if you get a chance.

I'm also heading to the Arizona Fall League when the season is over to get some more innings in. I'm really excited to work on some things and get my innings count up for this year.

Lastly, The Office 1 hour season premiere, Sep. 25th. Can't Wait!

Hey everyone. Sorry it's been a while since I've checked in. I've been feeling very good lately on the mound which has been encouraging. I'm hoping to build on that and make the most of what is left of this season. Also, my last two outings I've worn my Oakley prescription glasses and they have worked out well. So at least seeing the signs won't be an issue anymore, haha. There have been more than a few requests for pictures in the new specs. Not sure if there are any out there yet. I'll work on that.

I'm always open for new blog ideas so if you have any feel free to message me and or leave them as comments. As many of you know I'm really into music. So one thing I was thinking about doing was making mini playlists and sharing with everyone what I'll be listening to before each start. On that note, I'll leave you with what's about to play on my iTunes. Have a great night!

Here I Am- UB40

Inside the Fire- Disturbed

Far Behind- Candlebox

Rebirthing- Skillet

Riot- Three Days Grace

Hey everyone, glad to say I'll be making a rehab start tomorrow for the GCL Yankees here in FL. Can't wait to get on the mound again and back in the swing of things.

I'll be back a little later with some info regarding the contests I'll be running on the blog. See ya.

It's always nice to see guys I played ball with when I was younger succeed. So when my buddy Collin Balester made his debut for the Nationals this week I couldn't be happier for him.

Also, I know some of the readers of my previous blog liked when I posted song lists. So here are the last 5 I listened to on my itunes playlist.

1. Going In Blind- P.O.D.

2. Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades- Brand New

3. December- Collective Soul

4. Enjoy the Silence- Depeche Mode

5. Home- Three Days Grace

See ya later!

Hope everyone had a great 4th. I'm throwing now and feel great so i'm excited about that. Here's a little video I thought i'd leave you with. Enjoy!

This gave me a bunch of great ideas for alias names on the road. I laugh every time.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to welcome my readers from philhughes.wordpress.com over to my new blog as well as any new followers I may pick up along the way. I'm very excited to join the Yard Barker forum with all the other athletes that care about keeping in touch with their fans. For those of you who followed my blog before I don't really intend on anything to change. I'll continue with the contests and from time to time blog about complete randomness. Enjoy!
