Hey guys. Love yall. Thank you for all the comments. Ian, I laughed pretty hard at your comment. Alex, I got an extra 8 balls in bp for the lion outfit ;). Thanks for all who hit the blog.

For a short little update. I have had a great past of couple of games. Hit my first triple of the year to the roar of fans. As I was rounding second...the noise was incredible. I dove in and the umpire motioned safe. What a great memory. Starting to hear the fans chant my name as I come up to the plate. I really do not like writing about things like this but I just want to recall this memory some time down the road. I know that Bruce Springsting's "Glory Days" will be playing in the background. So as long as I am writing about good moments, I will continue just a bit...
I also had a walkoff double to clinch a playoff spot for us this season.

SO...Last night.
Doug Toro, one of my closest brothers on this team, and I were sitting on the bench. We chewed at least 2 packs of gum and 300 sunflower seeds. I was drinking coffee and had my batting gloves on because it is getting pretty cold here in ol Quebec. We were just playing around and then Toro predicted this to me. It was the top of the 8th inning, we were down 4-3.

"Ok Tony...Bottom of the ninth, I will pinch run for Scalabrini, our DH, You will pinch hit for D'oust, our catcher. You will have the game winning hit and I will score the game winning run."

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA....ok man. Whatever. I am cold brother."

Sure enough. Toro's prediction came true.

So we clinched a playoff spot with the win and I had a walkoff game winning double. Toro crossed home plate and the team rushed the field and we all were cheering with joy. Great moment. Here is the article in today's paper.

I can't wait to sit down and share stories with all of you. I love you all so very much. Here are some pictures that I have captured. With explanations following.



This is when Eric Coutu and his family came to see me play. I took them on a tour of the stadium. It was a fantastic day.





This is a pic of Jose Aquinas, James Kukucka, and me. These are a couple of new pitchers that we got and I took them on a tour of Quebec. James is my roommate now. Great guy and friend.



This is a picture of Chateau Fontenac. A five-star hotel in Quebec that sits on the top of the city. Absolutely beautiful from this view. The following pic is a view from the boardwalk.



Can't say it enough...Love you guys and I will see you pretty damn soon. Beso.
