I would actually like to take some BP which is not usually the case with me. I'm getting hits fine but I need to figure some shit out. 10 swings before the a tournament doesn't give time for that. Maybe if you guys swing Sun I'll attend.

Vin - check here for shin splint remedy.

If you have any weight loss ideas that I wouldn't have thought of - by all means email me. I'm back to 263 after a bad weekend. My goal is 250's by the end of the week but that will be tough after eating like shit over the weekend. Been doing cardio before work every day this week. Not lifting this week in deference to the bum shoulder which is feeling better but still has a twinge. I'm not throwing hard either as a result.

That sounds similar to what I was going to do before I hurt my shoulder dipping too low on the bench. I have to try to concentrate on explosiveness. Maybe swing the hell out of a wiffle bat like Ray Demarini stressed to train the muscles that I've gained. Every night I hold out hope that the bat speed will be back (never mind improved due to all that work) and then every night, my first swing just depresses the hell out of me.

2 things were fun about last night. A) I borrowed somebody's 27 Fury and loved hitting with a round non-cracked Fury. Felt so much better with it. B) I hit lefty the last 2 times up. Even my lefty swing feels a little slower but not as much to the point where both bat speeds are similar now. I got up once and tried to hit it out but it was too short and it was a liner to the fence. Next time up went for a base hit and it was a seed to RF. I'll be trying the lefty again tonight at some point. It's far more fun hitting that way because it's not a challenge and it's not like I'm going through the boring motions of just guiding base hits around the field. Not that I'm automatic by any stretch but in league play against ASA league pitching with league defenders, I think I can carry a pretty good average if I was just trying to get on base every time up. I want to do more than that...I want to crush again! I don't even care if I'm still hitting singles...I want to hit balls through the 6 hole that have the potential to hurt people if they get in the way. Not bullshit choppers.

I haven't gone to the gym since the Friday before last (around 11 days or so) due to my shoulder. Felt much better last night compared to just a few days ago so maybe it's healing up and I didn't do anything permanent to it (again). I'm just throwing the blal pretty easy but it's responding well slowly but surely. What little speed I had has been gone for years. Now this year I have no power. Now I hurt my shoulder and I can't throw like I used to. Why do I still play this game again???

I ate like a fatass this weekend and was concerned when I hit the scale Monday morning but was pleased to find a gain of only 3 lbs up to 266. Was 263 by the time I got home from work. That inspired me to eat nothing all day but a turkey on whole wheat for lunch Monday. It paid off as I hit 259 after my AM cardio on Tuesday. Ate a bit more Tuesday but still ate very light (no dinner even though I was starving since I got home from Pawling around 11:45). I was 258.1 last night (digital scale). For some reason I was exhausted this AM and overslept the cardio so I pulled in at 258.0 this AM. Lost .1 lb while sleeping. Interesting. Anyway if I did the fucking cardio I would have cracked 257 which would have been exciting. I've been in the 250's around this time of year a couple of times in the last few years but I definitely have better body composition this time around. More muscle so the 258 is a better quality of 258. Unfortunately my knee just gets worse so I don't have the slight increase in quickness that I usually get when I lose a few lbs. I really have to try to work in a leg workout ASAP but I'm afraid it's going to ruin me for days since I haven't done one in years and years. I'm also afraid it might make the arthritic knee worse but then can it really get much worse without me cutting it off with a hatchet? I'm not so sure.

I'm taking this week off from the gym again though I'd like to try to work in a bi/tri workout so it's not 2 full weeks off and those excercises don't really stress my shoulder.

258 this AM after a weekend wedding and restaurant food all weekend long.

I was 4-6 with 3 HR's last night in the Pawling double header and the last one almost hit the lights in LCF (using my hated EST). It's not HR's that I'm honestly after but rather bat speed. I finally weakened enough that I can swing a bat with some whip. Now let's hope it carries over to tonight (2 days in a row - hasn't happened yet all year). Admittedly it was cold and the ball was flying out (the wind was gusting straight out earlier in the night) but it feels good to hit a ball out there when a week or two ago I didn't think I'd be able to even reach the fence.

260 this AM, old man.

I overslept this am and have to be at work by 5 am tomorrow so it'll have to wait til at least Wed. Sorry!

Easy, Stinger. Your fascination with this post is borderline Kenny H - Phil Hughes manlove. Let's take it down a notch.

Been inconsistent with the cardio and diet. I've been very good with turning down the postgame brews though (other than last Fri night). Still weighed in at 260 this AM so I'm in a holding pattern. I have since lost 3.5 lbs today at work so I'm right about where I was in the heyday of this post a few scant weeks ago. Brutal fucking day at work.

I never gorged uncontrollably on food. I just eat poorly. They say you're supposed to eat several small meals per day. I usually ate two meals per day. I love fast food. Hate healthy shit. I also sat behind a desk for 10 years at work which didn't help and when my knees really went to shit, optional cardio like basketball suddenly went out the window. Softball doesn't count.
