ATL once again, my friend. I can't shake these cats. Today I faced the Braves for the 100th time in my short career, and it was a good game like always. Mr. "300" was on the mound for them today and he pitched like himself. When u face a team like that u just try to go out there and have fun. Bobby Cox does a great job of gettin those guys ready to play hard everyday so I feel it makes me better when guys step up and play hard in spring. your boy d
I have to say I was nervous for the first time on the mound today, but once I threw my first pitch I was fine. I had a good time out there being with the team and gettin a chance to mix it up with them. Also, starting for the Indians was my boy C.C. -- so it was good to see how he works as well. I wanted to go out there and have fun and play hard and go from there. I think our team will do well if we pitch well so I'm using this spring to try to get ready. It's also good to see all the kids at the park havin a good time and enjoying the game. I even saw a little Willis jersey so that's pretty cool. Hopefully the more I play, the move jerseys I will see. your boy d
day one in new jersey today was kinda crazy. this whole offseason i knew i was going to b going to a new team but it really hit home today. first workout went well today and i got a chance to get on the mound as well. I must say i miss 35 but number 21 looks good on me so i'm not even mad about that. but for the most part everybody from top to bottom seems cool and ready to work so i should fit right in. your boy d
In the game, for me, there are some guys that I would pay to see play. Of course it's a little easier for me to get a ticket, but fans talk to me about this all the time, and I like to hear about it 'cause everyone is their guy. Here are some of my guys and why. 1. Jimmy Rollins man playin in florida i hate seing him come up to the plate. His speed and his power and tough to go up against and when they need his most he shows up (plus he's from my hood). 2. Josh Beckett man he might be one of the best I've seen on the mound. strong, smart and tough on the mound. plus now his finger is on point and the sky is the limit for him. 3. Dan Uggla strong willed and battle ready everyday. he plays hurt and still can go deep with the best of them. little man at second but big man power. 4. Orlando Hudson Fun to be around and fun to watch. like me he loves to talk trash and play the game hard everyday, and on top of that he might be one of the best with the glove. 5. C.C Sabathia One of the best lefties hands down. He wants to win and he wants go against everyone's best. These are just a few but these are my guys that are fun to watch. What are some of your favorites, but let me know why. Your boy, D
In the d right now chillin in a high of 50 baby . No jacket and all. As you know the season is around the block so the buzz in the city is very big. I always like doing stuff with fans cause they get a kick out of just chillin with u and checkin out what kinda person u r. Plus u get to see old as well as new teammates and their families. For me i like playin with the little kids most. Maybe cause im still a little kid myself . Hopefully the weather stays like this so i can get out on the field without any snow this time but if not we'll get down in the snow baby. your boy d
