I didn't watch the game but I heard we won. I was supposed to be at the stadium but whatever. I went to Mom and Scott's house instead. Mom made meat loaf and tater tots which are my favorite foods but I wasn't even hungry. Kaycie was being a brat all night saying that I was acting like a little p***y but I didn't care. They don't understand. My chest hurts so bad and the doctor said it's because my rib is broken but I know its because I have a broken heart.

Well it was another day of ups and downs, just another day in the life of a big leaguer! We had a game today and I was the starter, and I think I played pretty good. Coach Gardenhire said "great job out there kiddo heck of a game" so I think he's finally coming around on me :-). I'm starting to be more confident around him but I still don't like to make him upset. I gave up only one run but it was another home run and Coach Gardenhire says I gotta be careful with those because they can really bite you. He was pretty angry after the game but it wasn't at me it was mostly at Alex. But I still remember when Alex told me the other day to go back to triple a with all the other ******* so it was funny to hear him get yelled at for once lol :twisted:.

Dad and Janelle were at the game and so were Mom and Scott. I don't know if they sat near each other but I guess Kaycie was sitting with Mom. She probably wasn't watching when I got my strikeouts, she was probably doing facebook. She is still such a brat but she's going into high school soon so maybe she will grow up finally.

Nicole was at the game too! (I told you about Nicole last week) I guess Brian invited her and she sat with his friend Trish. I don't know Trish but I know Brian and the girls he's frinds with so I hope she didn't give Nicole the wrong idea about me. Brian kept giving me a hard time in the dugout and pointing to their seats and being his randy self lol. Sometimes idk about Brian but he's the nicest to me of all the guys.

All in all it was a mixed day. I pitched pretty good but we didn't get the win, and we are still fighting for the playoffs here. A W would have been nice but at least I didn't get the L (lol take that Alex). We just need to keep battling our tails off and we'll get them next time, that's what Coach Gardenhire always says. And I wish I got to see Nicole tonight be we are already on the road to Kansas City so it will have to wait :-(! Sometimes this big league life is crazy but I wouldn't trade it for any other. Until next time guys,

I can't believe I pitched in the majore league last night. THE MAJOR LEAGUE. So many people told me to give up on baseball because it wasn't a realistic dream. But now I am pitching for the Minnesota Twins (HI HATERS!).

I guess it could have gone better tho. It was a tough loss. I didn't want to start my career 0-1 but there are so many great pitchers who lost their first games, like Nolan Ryan and Brad Radke. And they are in the hall of fame. So if I want to be in the hall of fame too then losoing my first game is actually a pretty good place to start lol!

All of the guys were nice to me even tho I lost. I was nervous about talking with Coach Gardenhire after the game but he said it was bad luck because of the errors. I guess he didn't see all the home runs I gave up lol. But he told me that I wasn't going to be sent down yet and so it was a good meeting overall. And some of the guys took me out to the bar afterwards to celebrate being in the bigs. It was pretty fun to hang out with P.J. and Brian as major leaguers! Brian kept talking about girls and saying how they love the Twins uniform even more than the "triple-A sk*nks " as he put it, but I didn't have much luck lol. Joe and Justin showed up for a few minutes which surprised me because those guys are stars and I didn't know what they were doing hanging out with a bum like me lol, but Justin bought me a bud light and said sorry they couldn't get me a win. I was like lmao you hit two homeruns you were doing all you could!

All in all it was a mixed day. It was good to wear the uniform and pitch in a MLB game but we can't keep taking tough losses like that because the games in May count just as much as the games in September and we are fighting to get to the playoffs. But I can't wait to take the mound again and get my first W!
