MY ARM IS A BIT SORE, THE BLOG IS VERY SLOW

Well I think I threw about 400 pitches last night for the 1st time in a about a month at Appomattox League practice. My arm is a bit sore but it isn't hurting as bad as I thought it would be for the number of pitches I threw. The Appomattox League single elimination playoffs begin Monday night. The blog appears to be in a bit of a rut again, the number of people visiting has been way down this week and the number of comments that have been made has also been way down. I don't know what else to do to increase traffic or the number of people who participate in the blog. Even the number of members we have had in the past has dwindled way down for a number of reasons. I might have to take a few days off from Mickey's Place to review the future of the blog and decide what direction to take it in the future, it appears that it may have run out of steam. MICKEY

Leadership consists not in degrees of technique but in traits of character; it requires moral rather than athletic or intellectual effort, and it imposes on both leader and follower alike the burdens of self-restraint.

Toss that toothbrush! Do you know how old your toothbrush is? If it's older than 3 months, you may no longer be removing all the plaque from your teeth.

Do it Mickey. Don't say it if you don't intend to do it. TOUGH LOVE SOMETIMES IS THE ONLY ACTION. Even then some bloggers have to hit rock bottom to know what they are missing on the blog
