We just finished up a Sunday day game on a hot day in Ft. Myers.  We really struggled here last time so it was nice to play well.  A couple other nice things on top of that: 1.) I get to see my old college teammate, Pat Neshek, who is rehabbing here and 2.) they have my favorite snack in the clubhouse.

We’re in the second have of our season in the Florida State League, 80-something games into 140 scheduled overall.   Just finished our 2nd game of a 3 game series w/ the St. Lucie Mets.  It was Michael Jackson tribute night at the park, and as I took out our lineup card before the game I was given a replica white-rhinestone glove that everyone had on during the pre-game meeting.  They took a picture for milb.com so maybe I can track that down in the future.
