Today I am on the mound to face the division leading Trenton Thunder. Unfortunately for me, their bats were booming as I got torched for 4 runs total for the first three innings before not getting anyone out in the 4th. Trenton scored a few more runs and I left with runners on base and 8 runs scored. The reliever coming in allowed the two runners that I had left to score and this nightmare could not end soon enough. We were pounded but the offense came alive in the 7th for 5 runs but we got beat, 11-7. This was my last start before the goal deadline and it certainly wasn't a good one.

Holy crap! Today I found out that I had reached 3 out of the 5 goals and was handed five new goals to reach in the next 3 weeks.

1.  Increase stamina over next 7 series
2.  Increase durability over next 7 series
3.  Have a WHIP of 1.750 or lower over next 7 series
4.  Have at least 18.1 innings pitched over next 7 series
5.  Allow 29 hits or less over next 7 series

It's on to Erie, PA on our road trip as we take on the Seawolves. I had a decent outing as I gave up 4 runs on 9 hits in my 7 innings of work. Again, our tough month continues as the team only scores two runs on 7 hits as we fall again, 4-2. Things are just not looking good right now as we are falling out of contention real quick.

We are in Akron to take on the Aeros in our last stop on the road trip before heading home. I got into the seventh inning again despite giving up 3 runs in the first three innings before being pulled. I was able to get the first batter of the seventh to ground out before falling apart. Things have got to start getting better for us but it is starting to look like our playoff chances are getting slim.

We are finally home and we are facing the Connecticut Defenders in the last game of the month. I had a really good outing tonight as I only allow 2 runs on 6 hits through 7.0 innings and struck out a season high 8 batters. Hopefully I can string a few of these together next month or they may not want me back.

What a mess! I go into the 7th inning again and our offense has given me nothing for support. I also served up three gopher balls, two to #55, as we got beat by the Baysox, 5-3. I'm starting to think about suing my team for nonsupport but I'm not doing myself any favors either as my HR allowed number continues to grow.

After only 1 day of rest I am called upon to relief against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats. I went into the game in the top of the 8th inning, after the guy before me allowed a homer, with no one on, two outs and 6 runs already in this inning. I struck out the batter to end the inning then proceeded to allow a home run in the ninth to give the Fisher Cats another run as we got beat, 10-2. At least this time it wasn't my fault in our shellacking.
