Chase will be home tonight and will be home until the 14th ..If you can think of some specific questions you would like to ask, he said he would be happy to answer them as long as it's something he's allowed to!! There are some bits of information that they aren't allowed to just tell people!

WOW!! There are so many interesting things on here, I LOVE IT!!!

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 07:58 PM) I hope he got more than just that. That was his signing bonus ..these guys who aren't early-mid round draft picks don't get paid very much at all ..BUT the White Sox do take better care of their players better than other teams. They pay them more, their food in spring training is better..etc.

OHHH another fact about Chase ...He wasn't drafted, but received a call asking him if he wanted to sign with organization as a free agent, of course he said yes ..they gave him the $1000 bonus he would have received had he been drafted, because they thought he should have been.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 03:47 PM) No, it was more of just discovering the missing puzzle piece. I understand being a fan, you just seemed like it was on another level, like it is, that he's the love of your life. That's why it makes more sense. He absolutely is!! Whether people on here like or hate him, the guys he plays with love him. He's always playing jokes (putting eye black in Dan Blacks hat and convincing him the stuff on his forehead is his hat melting) ..and making them laugh, they have nothing but great times with Chase. They all see how well he plays when he gets batting time and they know he shouldn't be in Bristol ..they are all convinced he'll be moving up ..and these are the guys that see him every single day. Obviously I'm rooting for him, but if he doesn't go up..that's great too ..he can stay home with me!

QUOTE (knightni @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 03:46 PM) I think that they thought it was strange that you were engaged but "stalking" a ballplayer. Without realizing that the guy you were engaged to WAS the ballplayer. LOL you are probably correct about that!! I'm not a creeper, just a very supportive fiancee!! No matter how well he's doing, or if he goes 1-9 in a 20 inning game, I'm behind him 100% ...telln him "C'mon Blacky, what the hell are you doing? get with the program ...Love You!" haha:)

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 03:45 PM) I guess the clubby in Winston-Salem is a Nazi. HAHA I cannot express my opinion on that guy!!!

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 03:33 PM) I don't see why not. There's no #26 jersey for Birmingham. There's actually no jerseys with 6's at all for some reason. I have NO idea ..He is going to be #26 in Bristol, he requested #18 because that's my favorite number, but it was already claimed!

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 03:37 PM) Yeah, it all makes more sense now. Just couldn't accept that someone genuinely liked Blackwood huh?!?! LMFAO ..It's ok, I respect everyone's opinion, they can all speak whatever they wish, it harms me none and motivates Chase ..So I let them say what they want and it won't get to me!

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 03:32 PM) Can I offer some advice that you can pass on to Chase? If or when he comes back to Birmingham, there is a group of female stalkers that take thousands of pictures at the games and follow the players to wherever they go to party. They also try to get close to family members and girlfriends/wives. I know the players have to be nice, and I know they can't stand these women. A few are middle aged, a couple are young, a couple are weird and hideous. Just a warning for Chase and for you if you visit him if he's ever in B'ham again. We'll make room for you in our section that way you can be close to the home dugout if you ever come down here. I will certainly tell him! Thank You very much, that's so nice of you!! ..Chase and I don't party or anything like that though, we are oldd people! lol ..It's all about movie nights for us! ..That keeps us out of trouble. Chase will tell a woman nicely at first that he is engaged ..if she still persists, he will be rude ..he will make her feel like a worthless, dirty slut!! ..He HATES cheaters and home wreckers, if someone is disrespecting me, he won't have it!!

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 03:23 PM) That explains a whole HELL of a lot. LOL What does that explain?! ..Why I like him so much? ..Of course, I know his whole story and everything he's been through and I see how well he handles everything! He's a great person and doesn't let things get to him!! He handles things gracefully and maturely ..That's why I love him ..I know what he stands for. I'm almost 3 years older than Chase. We met in elementary school, he was a grade higher than most kids his age ..he was in 3rd grade I was in 5th ...he was in my brothers class. ..We lost touch for years..I was in Arkansas, he in Montana ..I found him on FB ..requested him, he accepted ..we were talking for 2 months before both of us had to come Back to Taft at the same time!! ..We have been together ever since. He is more mature than a lot of guys I know my age, we are practically the same person!!

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 03:27 PM) Why didn't he wear 26 when he was with Winston-Salem? I know they have a #26 jersey. He didn't get to choose his number there.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 03:09 PM) I knew it! Chase Blackwood is your fiance. You're a genuis!!! I have known a few of these for about a week now..

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 03:01 PM) Jeez, how'd you find out all that? My fiance told me!

QUOTE (Brian @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:40 PM) How about a CRITIC Filter? Sounds great!

QUOTE (qwerty @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 02:06 PM) His face appears to be full of craters. It was. That is a picture from college ..it's not like that any more! See?!

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 01:33 PM) Great thread... OR We could just ask Balta! They don't give you shout outs on Jeopardy!! lol ..But now I know where to go for useless facts about pure randomness!!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 01:45 PM) Eu* is used by some writers as a method of expressing the Eu anomaly due to plagioclase fractionation/assimilation. Thank God for Google!!! hahaha

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 12:59 PM) Do you know where more players are being assigned? C's - Dan Black, Chase Blackwood and Dylan Tonneson to Bristol. Rob Vaughn to GF. Pitchers - Ryan Buch to Bristol. Curry, Burnside,Thompson, Simmons, Garcia to GF Matt Harughty to Bristol, Piteno to Bristol .. Jeff Tezak to GF, Rob Cummings to GF, Ryan Lee to GF, Ryan Hamme to GF, Kyle Davis to GF, Juan Silverio to GF I can tell you more tomorrow. Of course this can change, depending on who signs and who doesn't.

QUOTE (T R U @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 12:49 PM) lol I hope thats Blackwood Yep, that's him! With his sexy self ..can't wait to watch him move up!! **sigh**

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 12:47 PM) Dylan Tonneson likely could end up in Great Falls. As of now he's going to Bristol.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 12:45 PM) Everyone is entitled to their opinion about Blackwood ..That's adorable that you would take the time to do that though! Makes me giggle!

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 10, 2010 -> 12:44 PM) Nevermind, I saw what you wrote in his AAP. LOL Basically he just talked me through it all!!

The only catcher going to GF so far is Rob Vaughn. Ryan Buch is going to Bristol for a couple starts, then to Kanny on the 27th. (so I hear)
