Greetings one final time everyone from the Arizona Fall League.  We have endured a long seven weeks of additional baseball, and we’re now faced with just 2 remaining games.  It has been a great experience for me to play in this league because of the stiff competition and valuable time to soak up more of this game.  Although I think most everyone is somewhat worn down from a combination of the regular season and the fall games, we are grateful to have the opportunity to participate in such a premier venue.  Following these last games, I will be headed back home to Texas where I will look forward to spending the Thanksgiving holiday with my family and friends.  I am really excited about this because it has been 2-3 months since I have been able to see them.  I think one person looking forward to it more than myself would be my mother; so mom, I’ll see you soon!

Hello again everyone!  Drew here with you again for the last full week of play in the Arizona Fall League.  As we slide into the single digits of remaining games, I think everyone out here has the same intentions…finish strong.  It’s been a long month and a half for most of us, and this has definitely been the longest year of baseball in my life.  Starting up in spring training back in March, I’ve been at it for about 8 months with a few weeks of break scattered in there.  Although this league has really been a great experience for me, I can feel that the end is near.  Knowing this, I’ll just try to end the fall on a positive note and have a solid last week and a half out on the field.  

Greetings everyone!  Drew here again with another installment from the Arizona Fall League.  As many Americans had their sights set on electing a new president today, the Javelinas faced yet another game in our season.  We squared off with the Scottsdale Scorpions tonight and came up short in the win column as we dropped yet another game in our losing skid.  We have now not managed to pull out a game in the past week or so, and let me tell you, its getting frustrating for us.  Obviously, no one likes to lose, but when you drop that many games in a row, it really starts to wear on you.  We have a bunch of resilient guys though, and I’m sure we will bounce back soon with a good performance.  It has been quite a different feeling for us this past week since we now find ourselves a few games out of the divisional lead for the first time.  It will take a strong effort for us to regain our momentum, but I feel good about our chance of rebounding and finishing these last couple of weeks on a positive.  Sometimes in this game, things just don’t seem to go your way, and I think we are definitely experiencing this at the moment.
