There are a few hilarious daily occurrences here in San Juan.
First of all, they love attaching loudspeakers to their cars here. There is this one truck that consistently plays a sample from "Eye of the Tiger", you know the part where the guy goes "Eyyyeeeee of the Tiiiiggeeeerrr", and it's intermixed with some random, bass Spanish voice advertising something. I'm fluent...but it's so muddled by the shitty loudspeaker I can't understand it. That shit is so hilarious...the truck drives all around the city, every day, without fail, blasting Eye of the Tiger.
In addition, there's another guy who fancies himself an announcer who drives a fruit truck everywhere yelling "rebollo, tomate, zanahoria, rebollo, rebollo..." I hear it every day when I'm on the mound. These cars are induce fits of laughter.
My friend Aaron from Austin told me this crazy story about some guy whose wife got kidnapped. The guy received phone calls where he could hear his wife getting beaten and raped over the phone. No one knows what happened to her. Freaky.
Today I had a GREAT practice. Hitting my spots. I really believe in myself. One day I will make the pros here in Nicaragua, though it might take a while. Anyway, I'm going to the pro tryouts in September.
I'd really love it if one of my friends came to visit. It's so wonderful here...everyone has a great time, but this place is still undiscovered. Come quick, before the roads are finished...cuz then this place will be swarming with turischten.
I really need to find this 7th Board Member for the CBF. Really bad. It's tough...and I'm so close. I must seal the deal.
Today's picks:
TEXAS RANGERS over Minnesota Twins (GO RANGERS!)
DETROIT TIGERS over Los Angeles Angels
PITTSBURGH PIRATES over Philadelphia Phillies
SAN DIEGO PADRES over Arizona Diamondbacks
CHICAGO CUBS over Washington Nationals.
Cheers.
