Hopefully that's just a typo, but I encourage you to use the edit feature on your team spelling. Welcome to the forum!

A quick reminder to everyone that Ron will be fielding questions from NSBB during the broadcast tonight. If you haven't submitted a question, be sure to do so ASAP in the "Questions for Ron Potesta" thread. Thanks to Ron for taking our questions and thanks to Raisin for starting the thread!

Ron, I was driving down the Interstate and noticed a basketball goal outside the clubhouse at Pringles Park. Do the players spend any free time playing basketball? If so, who is the best basketball player of the bunch? PS- Be sure Aunt Florence has her window open tonight!

2 wins in one day!

Sweet! I'll sell it to someone for $20! 8-[

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v472/DJAXXFAN/nathan.jpg Nathan Baliva, the voice of the Peoria Chiefs, has graciously agreed to answer questions from posters on NSBB. If you would like to send a comment to Nathan, or if you would like to ask Nathan a question, feel free to post it here. I will allow the questions/comments to be posted until June 10 at midnight. Once Nathan has had an opportunity to answer them, his responses will be posted. This is a great opportunity to get first hand information from a direct source in Peoria! In regards to questions about Eric, I request that references to Corey Patterson be limited. There are some acceptable ones, such as what it's like to be in the same organization and what it was like growing up, but hopefully we can emphasize Eric the ballplayer and not Eric, the younger brother of Corey. Thank you for your understanding and thank you to Nathan for taking time for us here at NSBB!

Agreed.

(In my opinion) 1-4, 4 LOB is just as bad (if not worse) as 0-4, 2 LOB. I have no idea what that means. Last night Corey went 0-4 and left 2 on base. Neifi did get a hit, but in the process of going 1-4 he left 4 on base. I don't understand how Patterson gets singled out as the "worst offender"

For all intensive purposes the game was already over at that point, but thanks for singling him out. It's not like he hit into a triple play with the bases loaded in a 1 run game. Or sent up 2 incompetent slap hitters with the bases loaded, down by 4 with rain on the way when a homerun was your best bet........ intents and purposes Thanks

When the Jaxx played the Smokies in the "future series" I picked up his Cub jersey that he wore and signed after the game. I got it for the minimum bid!

That's great! You know, I live close to Jackson and wouldn't turn down a live interview during a game :wink: BTW, thanks for reading my e-mail about Aunt Florence during the game the other night. My wife was cracking up when she heard it!

What sources? Due to the fact that this site is in pursuit of landing prospects for Q & A sessions I personally feel that if a comment like that is going to be made then a source should be listed. I should have been more clear, I have no knowledge or source of Dope or any Cub farmhand taking Steriods. It was a general statement based on info from a family friend who is in the Yankees system who told me about 50% of the players he came to camp with in 2003 had or do use them. (I also have a friend in the Twins system who concurs) I'm speculating that this may be the same in other systems. I guess I'm guilty of having my doubts without having evidence. But, in my opinion, to rule out Steriods would be nuts. I hope he finishes strong and becomes the top prospect we believe he is. I personally prefer to give a guy the benefit of the doubt rather than concluding or speculating steroids as the reason. Yes the numbers may have been high in the past, but MLB is really cracking down on players using performance enhancing substances, especially the Minor League guys. My only issue is that we are trying very hard to bring prospect interviews to NSBB. With that being said, it is very possible that players and personnel within the organization are looking at the site before making decisions on contributing. I would not like for a player to be turned off from the site.

Bobby Dickerson for Manager. He knows the game and isn't afraid to get in the ump's face when necessary :getyou:

cubs.com talked like he had been hurting for awhile

GO CUBS!

Although I cannot guarantee that any MLB player has visited the site, I do know that some Minor League guys have visited. I wonder if Hoops actually emailed that, or if Rozner just took it straight from the "Could this deal with Texas make sense" thread in the transactions forum. :D If so, the least he could've done is plug the site!

Great job! =D>

Agreed. I just wonder how long it will take for the fans that attend the games at Wrigley to figure this out.

I potentially have some stuff set up with AAA as early as tonight. That question may be worth asking.

Since it worked last night... Let's hope Aunt Florence has her window open!

If the Cubs win, I feel it will only be right to have the wrong date in the title as long as the winning streak is going.
