Summary: We hope that everyone had a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend. We all caught up with each other for the first time in what seemed like a few weeks due to the holiday weekend. And even more so for Eric who made his triumphant return to the podcast this week. Despite Mike having issues with his cell phone (don't ask him about it), the show turned out pretty well. Here's what you'll get in this episode: Jay, Mike and Eric discuss the baseball path of Cubs prospect Anthony Rizzo who has continued to strive even after his scare with Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2008. We also visit with Iowa Cubs broadcaster Randy Wehofer. Randy fills us in on the hectic travel in the Pacific Coast League and talks about how Rizzo has handled the media circus around his status. Mike McDade is a switch hitter with lots of pop in the Blue Jays organization. He's currently spending his summer in beautiful New Hampshire with the Fishercats. Though his ultimate goal is to play in the big league's, he says he can't wait to get promoted to Triple A? Hear why on the show! File this under "Wish I had taken some pics with my camera phone".
