Scott Moore to Chicago!

Awesome

I can appreciate the kid for keeping the tradition, but that ball could've paid for his college.

That would explain why the Jaxx awarded his team MVP award before the last game of the season.

Bummer that the internet broadcast didn't work tonight. It's disappointing that WNWS has dropped the ball this year. I thought it was going to be different and that having the Jaxx back on WNWS was going to have a great impact on the Jaxx organization. However, after a refusal to broadcast afternoon games during the week and games late in the year on Friday nights, it's only fitting that the broadcast wasn't working tonight. It's disappointing that Cub fans from around the world have had to spend so much time listening to the broadcasts of the Jaxx opponents rather than getting to listen to Ron. Ok, rant over. This afternoon I had the great pleasure of presenting the 2006 Minor League Player of the Year Award to a very worthy recipient. Not only is he a great player on the field, he has been a great person to interact with. The 2006 northsidebaseball.com Player of the Year: Sean Gallagher. Rather than go with a plaque, the site went with a very unique award. Earlier in the year, you may recall that the Cubs sold bricks from the original bleachers of Wrigley Field. The bricks were initially sold at the Wrigley Field Garage Sale before being offered on cubs.com Each of the bricks were authenticated by MLB.com Sean's brick had the name of the award, his name, the teams he played for in '06 and the date of the award presentation. Sean's father and brother were in attendance, which made for a great moment. A picture of the presentation will be posted in the coming days. Along with the award, Sean will have $100 donated to the charity of his choice in his name. An interview will take place with Sean after the completion of the season. Once the interview has been completed, it will be posted in the Chats forum. Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate in the 2006 NSBB Player of the Year polls and discussion. Congratulations Sean!

Go Vols!

3 retired in a row after the pitching change. 4-1 Jaxx to the 2nd. I just mentioned to Ron that the internet broadcast isn't working. With that being said, we'll wait about mentioning the player of the year in case the broadcast starts working.

Carlos Rojas (batting 8th) makes the first out of the night for the Jaxx. :shock:

Another run walked in, 4-0 Jaxx, bases loaded, NOBODY OUT And the Jaxx have chased the pitcher out, along with his infinite ERA on the night

Comedy of errors here in Jackson. Jaxx have 3 runs in, bases loaded, NOBODY OUT in the first

Apparently the broadcast isn't working. Thanks WNWS.

What makes you think that he doesn't? In theory, any public figure/famous person in the world could post here. Do we keep that in mind and ban making any disparaging comments about them? My post really didn't have anything to do about discouraging comments about players in the event that they post on the site. I was just curious as to how you were sure that Rich doesn't post on or view the site.

What makes you think that he doesn't?

:shock: Compare the stats Knott currently has better numbers in every category except SB, R & H in 69 fewer AB.

It's not unusual for a contract between a MLB organization and a minor league organization to expire. FWIW it's my understanding that there are a lot of affiliation contracts that are set to expire at the end of this season.

For the record, Eric wasn't named as an all-star for second base. Eric was named the "Best Hustler" on the postseason all-star roster. Not trying to take away from Eric's season, but thought it was worth pointing out that Danny Richar from Tennessee was named postseason all-star for 2B.

A MLB team signs a contract with a minor league organization that will be their affiliate. In the event that the Cubs have not renewed their contract with the Jaxx, they will find a new organization and sign a contract with them that will start in '07. Meanwhile, the Jaxx will have to find another team to sign a contract with.

Ugh, I am so sorry to hear that. I'll definitely keep your family in mind. Be sure to let me know if there's anything I can do.
