As I was pulling into the parking lot this past monday to leave for our four game road trip to Fort Wayne, my phone rang. It was one of the other pitchers, Rudy Darrow, calling to ask where I was. I thought it was a little odd that he was calling me when I was a half hour early, but he said that the bus was leaving. At this moment I kind of start to panic because I don’t want to have to drive all the way there. Once I gathered myself I then thought wait, I am positive I am still early because it was just before 9 am and we were scheduled to leave at 9:30 which made me think it was just a joke. Well apparently the bus time changed the night before, after I had left the locker room and never received the notice. Now I am really starting to panic because as I am driving slightly over the speed limit through the parking lot I see the bus start to move so I start honking and put my hand out the window. To my relief the bus stopped and I was able to load everything and hop on. After I calmed down from almost missing the bus I started to get mad at the fact the time changed and no one let me know. That feeling left me too once I was just grateful to just be on the bus. Our strength coach Jake Tabor was not as lucky however, he was forced to make the drive of shame. Sorry Jake, on this trip game time was not on time.
