http://www.diamondjaxx.com/images/players/RandyWells.jpg In 2003, Randy Wells was converted to a pitcher after catching in 42 games in the 2002-2003 seasons in the Cubs' organization. Last season, Randy went 10-3 with a 2.83 between the Daytona Cubs and the West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx. At Media Day, Randy offered to provide a glimpse inside the life of a professional baseball player as he offered to provide journal entries through the 2006 Diamond Jaxx season. NSBB is thrilled to have Randy as a special guest contributor and wish him and the rest of the West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx nothing but the best in the 2006 season! A very special thank you to Randy for taking the time to share his thoughts with us here at NSBB. A special thank you also goes out to the West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx. As always, thank you to all of you for making NSBB such a wonderful community!

Today was Media Day at Pringles Park. After the session with the media, it was time to go to the field to meet the players. During the day, I was able to ask questions to the following: Thomas Atlee David Cash Adam Greenberg Micah Hoffpauir Richard Lewis Pat Listach Eric Patterson Clay Rapada Randy Wells Each of these men were nice enough to answer questions for a thread that will be posted in the coming days. The thread will focus on their personal goals for the 2006 season. Additional questions were asked as well. Each person named above has agreed to do a Q & A during the upcoming season. In addition, they agreed to take questions during the 2006 season as we strive to bring the West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx to the fans at NSBB. As you can see, not all of the players and coaches were able to be interviewed during the session. The remaining players/coaches will be met after the season opener. A special thank you goes out to the Diamond Jaxx organization for their support of NSBB. I encourage everyone to make it a point to go to a Jaxx game if at all possible. In addition, be sure to listen to Ron Potesta, "The Voice of the Diamond Jaxx", this season as he brings exciting Jaxx baseball as well as the Chicago Cubs Farm Report presented by northsidebaseball.com in the pregame show. As always, thank you to all of you for making NSBB such a wonderful community!

Oh how I have missed the nightly box & discussion thread!

For the record, I had the opportunity to get to visit with Micah this afternoon in Jackson. I told Micah that he has several on the site that have been asking about him. He extends his appreciation. Hopefully I can get the interviews from today up pretty soon.

Feel free to refrain from remarks about posters.

Not a fan of any fan throwing any object at any player.

"Ouch" -Jorge Posada

Agreed that he didn't have to remain standing.

Yep, that's him.

11-1 Yanks in the 4th with one out Bradley looking Edmondsesque

ARod helps the fantasy team! 7-0 Yankees

Zito is having some trouble. 3-0 Yankees, top of the 2nd, bases loaded, nobody out

I waived Lieber and added Reitsma. So far so good (through today at least)

The streak is at 2, with both picks going yard

I am very happy I dumped Lieber off my fantasy team before the season started
