Back Strain Part 2...

My lower back pain is improving. Took a few muscle relaxants, did some extra stretching, some cold packs, a handful of Tiger Balm heat patches and missed a total of four games in the last 10 days (that's what hurts the most), but I'm back at it.

I played yesterday with the boys at Udall Park. Moved a little slow -- no diving for balls, or chasing down pop ups. Twenty days until the first game of the Men's Senior Baseball World Series (MSBL) in Phoenix. Keep the Faith! I'm gonna be ready. Our first and only MSBL official practice day is set for October 17, from 1 to 3 in the afternoon, at a Tempe Diablo annex field. Come the morning of October 18, competition begins.

Can't wait!
