As if it wasn't bad enough.. their tagging with my gay cowboy headlines. I guess originally they had it as "May miss season opener," because I had a few voice mails from people who had gotten a copy of the earlier edition. I'm not going to miss my first start, right now I feel like I can start throwing in two weeks and still be ready for my game.
I'm feeling more positive about it today than I was yesterday. I can still play catch, I've been doing since December with no issues.. backs just a little tight, I mostly feel it when I land on my left foot. I'm doing some core strengthen exercise with my yoga instructor, hopefully that helps stabilize my back a little more.. assuming the worst I'll make another trip out to California to see my specialist.
I guess what pisses me off is I already know I'm gonna be branded the Tinman again, they're gonna say I have no heart like they did last year. That just pisses me off because no one wanted me to have a great season last year more than I did.. people don't get that I did try to play through it and I was just doing myself and the team more harm than good. I wasn't Kevin Brown - old and a few months away from retirement... I was 29 years old and in the first year of a pretty big, long-term contract.
I'm determined to prove myself, more so than last season.
I don't know why I'm telling everyone all this. I need to get back to my plan of never actually using this thing to talk about myself.
