Wow. A journal. I used to write in journals all the time, when I was younger. It was a way to get my frustration and anger out. I was a rowdy kid and a rowdy teenager. Then I found zen and yoga, and ever since then I've been able to cope a lot better with things that bother me. Of course, I never forgot my journals.
So now I start a new journal, in hopes that my time here in Oakland will be a good one. I really do like all the teammates, though I'm sorry that Redman had to leave because of me. It would've been interesting to catch for him. I would've enjoyed it.
I am excited for working with the youngsters. I always have liked molding young pitchers into amazing pitchers. Almost like an artist with a brush, working and working until a creation is perfect. And catching for Barry Zito? I can't even describe how honored I feel to be in that position. Catching for Mulder and Hudson would've been amazing as well.
I still can't believe that Will--that Beane traded for me. It's an honor to be on such a team. Hopefully I can help them get past the first round this time, maybe win a championship. How great would that be?
