I am healing up nicely and the medical staff think I might be able to start some light work out s in a day or 2. They still see me 7 days away from making it back into the line-up but at least I am getting there.

There were some major moves by the Black Cats on the 31st July and today.

The first move saw Jesus Nunez return from the DL allowing Miguel Puga to return to the Erie Phantoms at single A level.

Today's moves could hurt the club more as starters Tyler Crostic and Dave Ziobro along with Angel Espinal were all promoted to the Single A Erie Phantoms. We also saw relief pitchers Darius McKithen, Carlos Moreno and Trevor Farner demoted to the Rookie Rock Hill Ducks.

In return we received relief pitcher Eric Holleman from Triple A Tulsa Aggies, relief pitcher Nelson de los Santos from single A Erie Phantoms and relief pitchers Andres Sevilla, Enrique Vallejo, Centre Fielder Diego Mares and First Baseman Chris Klika from the Rookie Rock Hill Ducks.

This is going to give our pitching set up a whole new look that could either really hinder or help us. It is yet to be seen which. While they didn't bring anybody in for my position at third I am a little worried if I will get my spot back as another infielder joined the team.

Today's game saw us in Hattiesburg to play the Ospreys. It is going to be a tough game with them leading the way in the North Division. I was listening closely on the radio at out club house during my continuing treatment.

The manager went with the line-up of

3B Angelo Mendoza
2B Casey McCauley
SS Steve Bielecki
DH Chris LaBuff
LF Cooper Houghton
CF Chris Severson
1B Chris Klika
Catcher Tomas Ayala
RF Jose Becerra

On the mound for us today is Danny Burns who is getting his first start after being a relief pitcher and closer for us through most of this year.

The first 3 inning of the game were quiet for us as we only managed 2 hits. The Ospreys also only managed 1 hit so it kept the game tight.

The Fourth is where the game sparked to life. Bielecki doubled nicely and then moved to third on a LaBuff ground out. A Single from Severson saw him home to put us 1-0 up. The lead did not last long though as a single from Carder and a double from Watts saw Carder home to score the Ospreys first run. Lecain then picked up a single to score Watts and give the Ospreys a 2-1 lead.

The fifth saw us fall further behind as we could not turn our 2 hits into any runs. The Ospreys managed to get a walk for Thorstad and singles from Carder and Pickens to see Thorstad home. We trailed 3-1 at this point.

The Seventh saw us get back into the game with a 2 run inning. This came about as Mendoza singled before McCauley hit one 333 feet to see it over the fence and out for a 2 run homer.

The Ospreys finally took the game away from us in the eighth as a Pickens double and a walk for Maytubby put 2 on base. Alicea then came in and gave an almighty swing to dump the ball 333 feet for a 3 run homer to make the score 6-3 in the Ospreys favour.

We couldn't get it back in the ninth as we lost again to go to 14-24.

Tomorrow sees us have to play the Ospreys again. I am hoping the game is better to listen to than today's was as I try to get myself fit as quickly as possible to help the lads out of the slump we are now in.
