There's no reason to believe this won't be the case. Dusty shows an obvious preference for Neifi, so it seems likely that he will start at 2B in any games Walker either doesn't play or starts at 1B. 2006 starts at 2b Player starts Walker 10 Hairston 3 Perez 1 Seems perfectly obvious to me. guess who started at third base during those games? exactly. better luck next time. :(

Have Thanksgiving Dinner. ..ok, that was mean. I'm sorry. ha ha, gold star

The idea is to attract people to the park that wouldn't normally go to watch a baseball game.

So you want us to ask questions, but not really... :lol: I just understand that Sean has a lot of fans on the site and it would be very easy to get too many questions to attepmt to go over in one session. In an effort for everyone to get questions answered, it would help to limit the number of questions.

Thanks for the update!

Go Bruce!

Bruce is on the air while he's on the site! Multitasking!

Thanks for letting me know!

I'll be interviewing Sean Gallagher tonight after the game. If anyone has a question for Sean, feel free to PM it to me. I already have a lot of stuff to go over from comments posted on the site, so try to limit the questions if at all possible.

Julio Garcia, Latin American Field Coordinator for the Chicago Cubs' Minor League Department, has graciously agreed to take questions from posters on NSBB! If you would like to send a comment to Julio, or if you would like to ask Julio a question, feel free to post it here. The deadline for submitting questions is Friday, April 28th at noon. Once the interview has been completed, the responses will be posted. This session will be coordinated as in accordance with The NSBB Q & A Guidelines as well as the NSBB Member Guidelines. Thank you to Julio for taking the time to interact with us on such an up close and personal level. As always, thank you to all of you for making NSBB such a wonderful community!

1 week away!

So your allegiance to a team is based on whether or not they're going to be good? Personally, I love MLB EI for more reasons than just the Cubs.

Thanks for the comments, I really appreciate it! Joshua Parrott of the Jackson Sun also had an interview with Andy.

According to Ron on the broadcast, except for the home opener they've been under 1,000 every game so far. :(

Sad but very true. Couldn't a bad sprain actually be worse than a break? That was that case with Pie last year. Hopefully there wasn't any other damage than just the fractures. Agreed. Pie's case was one where it would've been better that he broke it.

:(

Lewis still stuck on second with 2 outs in the 9th

Leadoff double by Lewis

The Jaxx "Will Startup" a rally against Will Startup

Jaxx down a pair to the bottom of the 9th

ugh

To be honest I'm not 100% sure. Since it has the Hitter and Pitcher of the Week, I'm pretty sure it is.

Braves with the go ahead run on second with 1 out in the 9th

Bingo, that was my gripe last night. Did anyone check Furcal's pocket's for a flask? RUI? :lol:

Thanks, Nathan! Chiefs Blow 6-Run Lead; Lose at Beloit 9-8 Yepez tosses six solid innings in no-decision Beloit, WI – The Peoria Chiefs held an 8-2 lead but the bullpen allowed seven runs in the 7th as the Beloit Snappers stormed back for a 9-8 win Thursday afternoon. With the loss the Chiefs fall to 5-9 on the season, 4-7 on the road. The Chiefs were able to take advantage of a Snappers error in the 2nd inning to grab an early lead. With two outs, Robinson Chirinos doubled to the left-center gap. Jake Muyco lifted a flyball down the right field line that was dropped by Dwayne White allowing Chirinos to score the game’s first run. After a single by Matt Ciaramella, Snappers starter Ryan Mullins got Davy Gregg to bounce out to end the frame. In the 3rd, Chiefs starter Jesus Yepez gave up a leadoff double to Steve Tolleson before recording two quick outs. Erik Lis, who has hit the Chiefs hard all week, gave the Snappers a 2-1 lead with a homer run just over the right field wall. Peoria rallied from behind in the top of the 4th with their most productive inning thus far in 2006. with one out, Robinson Chirinos and Jake Muyco both walked and then pulled off a double steal. Chirinos came home on a wild pitch to tie the game and Matt Ciaramella’s RBI fielders choice gave the Chiefs a 3-2 lead. After a single by Gregg and a groundout, Jesus Valdez singled up the middle to score two for a 5-2 Peoria lead. Ryan Norwood capped the five run inning with a RBI single to left for a 6-2 advantage. In the 5th inning the Chiefs added to their lead against reliever Danny Vais. Alberto Garcia led off with an infield single and advanced to third on the second double of the day by Chirinos. Muyco put the Chiefs on top 7-2 with a RBI groundout and Gregg’s infield single scored Chirinos for an 8-2 lead. The Chiefs imploded in the 7th inning as Beloit slammed the Chiefs bullpen for seven runs. Roberto Sotolongo relieved Yepez and gave up three consecutive singles and a three run homer to Steve Tolleson as Beloit cut the lead to 8-6. Justin Rayborn relieved Sotolongo and allowed a single to Dwayne White before walking Erik Lis with one out. Caleb Moore bounced into a fielders choice but White scored when Chirinos’ throw to first was wild. With two down, Ed Ovalle slammed his first homer of the seascon to cap the seven run innings and give the Snappers a 9-8 lead. Yepez pitched well enough to win but the bullpen couldn’t close it out to get the left-hander the victory. Over six innings of work he allowed just two runs on two hits while striking out two. Sotolongo didn’t record an out while allowing four hits and four runs. Rayborn (0-1) takes the loss giving up three runs over two innings on two hits while striking out one.
