Palm Beach made their only stop of the season in Lakeland tonight to play game 1 of their four game series with the Flying Tigers. Jonah Nickerson and Brandon Dickson were the starters. Nickerson was spectacular pitching a no-hitter until the 8th inning. After Jay Sborz loaded the bases, Brendan Wise came in to get the final out and the save in Lakeland's 4-0 win.

Kyle Mura was in the stands behind me so I asked him where David Kopp was since I didn't see him. He said after pitching last night he had some soreness in his shoulder and may miss his next start. Since he was not scheduled to pitch in Lakeland he stayed behind to have it checked out. Never saw any of the guys listed on the DL (Buckman, Daley, Henley, Maiques, Norrick, Vander Weg).

Any cards anyone sent me for Kopp and the DL guys will be sent back unsigned along with any cards of Tyler Herron, Mark McCormick, Jess Todd who were promoted to AA after cards were already sent to me.

I asked Duane Below in the stands where Ramon Garcia is since I haven't seen him on days he didn't start and he said either the bullpen or dugout. He never went by me to the dugout so he had to be in the bullpen. After we won all the bullpen guys came out including him so I asked him to sign. He saw the page and said "Wow you have a lot, why don't you get me in the parking lot?" and ran off to the clubhouse.

I got denied by Dennis Martinez before and after the game. We did go out to the parking lot to get him and he signed before he got on the bus. Also got Jordan Tata, Eddie Degerman, Brandon Dickson and Joe Coleman while waiting for him. Duane Below came out and said if I was waiting for Garcia that he was getting a HAIRCUT and would be a good 20-25 minutes so after I got Martinez I took off.
