"I can't believe how great things have started here.....We got the Dodgers this weekend....Four games....I pitched the last two nights so I don't know if I'll get in tonight but I am sure I'll get to pitch sometime this weekend....I heard. My folks have been talking about the oil crashing too....Been hurting the cafe....It would be a beautiful thing to get them out of the hole and let them enjoy life without financial burdens.....At least Dad's medical bills are no longer a burden on them. If nothing else, playing baseball has done that.....I miss you every day, Beth."
The phone calls were an every day thing. Had to be. A long distance relationship isn't the easiest thing in the world but at least I wasn't in another country.
I did get into the opener against the Dodgers. And I pitched a perfect ninth! And I struck out Orel Hershiser and Steve Sax!
And I was absolutely sickened by the result.
The fact that it was the ninth inning and Hershiser was batting should tell you how the game went.
We lost 5-0.
Just short of 30,000 of our fans were there is this very early battle for first place in the division. The Dodgers were 8-2 and we were 7-2 coming in.
They are now 9-2 and we are 7-3.
Hershiser was just dominant. Holding us to 4 hits in 8.1 innings.
I hate the Dodgers.
I really really really hate the Dodgers.
