Story #14, 15, 16 -- I'm not lazy, I promise...

CINCINNATI, OHIO -- Hey, everyone. My apologies to those of you who have actually made the effort to check in on this blog from time to time. I'm sure it has been just thrilling to stare at the same posts for (almost) two weeks now.

I've been busy, be it in the form of traveling to Cincinnati for Memorial Day weekend or work, work, work...and work. I've been so busy, actually, that I haven't even been posting the stories I've completed recently, and I assure you that's going to change now.

Here's what I have been up to since June started:

Click here to read my favorite story I have written since signing on with MiLB.com, "MLB debut worth the wait for Haynes." This is the first clip-worthy story in my eyes, and it was fun to write, do the interview for and even research. The gist: a decade of playing in the Minor Leagues finally rewards a player with a Major League at-bat. It's the feel-good story we all like to read (I hope).

Click here to read another player feature, "Omogrosso works his way back." This one about Winston-Salem Warthogs closer Brian Omogrosso, who has possibly the best last name I've had to write over and over in a long time. But the story is more than that, I promise. ... Say it though-- "Omogrosso."

Click here to read my first attempt at a weekly installment MiLB.com runs called "Peek at the Week." Basically I look through all the Minor Leagues for series in each league worth taking note of. It's a lot of stats and such, but it was still a lot of fun to write too.

OK, I know that doesn't look like much, but I have more stories on the way and I am starting to pour more and more into them. That should make them better reads, and with my brother (possibly) set to come into Sacramento sometime next week, this blog should have something interesting to talk about too.

Stay tuned...
