Ouch! I hurt my back

May 11th, 2006

I was excited as normal for softball tonight. I went to My Office to meet with some of the guys. I got some pop and then headed to the field. Joe and I were warming up our arms when he threw one that was to my right and in the ground. I twisted at the waist. I bend down to scoop it. I felt the pain in my back. I knew I caused another spasm. I get them every once in a great while. But when I get them I am out of service for about four days for the most part.

I tried to play. I could do firstbase okay. It hurt when I was not sitting down. I got a basehit on my first at bat. The Joe hit a homerun so I did not have to run hard. Brain kept asking if I thought I could play. I told him I can not stand up straight, I cannot run, and I cannot throw, but I can play. I was in the field for three innings. By the end of my third inning in the field my back was hurting more. So I told Brian to have someone else play for me.

I took myself out of the batting order as well. It really hurt to hit the ball hard. I had to mainly do an arm swing. I spent from the fourth to the eight inning on the bench. We took the game into extra innings after being behind the whole game. We were down by as many as nine runs. But we battled back and won it on a two-run shot by Eric.

We went to My Office. I hung out as long as I could without my back killing me too much. We talked about playing in the McCoy tournament. We are doing that and Mitz is getting married that weekend so he will be out of town. I will run the team for the tournament.
