Q. What is your real name?

A. Joseph Daniel *not giving last name*

Q. How old are you?

A. 37

Q. Where do you live?

A. I was born in and still live in Atlanta, Georgia

Q. Are you married and do you have kids?

A. Actually I have never been married and I have no kids. Pretty weird huh? I swear I am not a mutant!

Q. What do you look like?

A. Brown hair,blue eyes,6'2",170 pounds,a small beer belly.

Q. Do you have a job if no what was the last job you had?

A. Yeah I have been working for a freight brokerage for 4 years. It's ok money but the trucking industry is pretty boring work.

Q. When and how did you find out about smallball?

A. I downloaded that realplayer arcade thing. It had smallball on it. I tried it out and the rest is history.

Q. How long have you been in smallball?

A. Since mid-may

Q. When your looking for a team to challenge what is the first thing you look at?

A. Well...i mostly challenge the people that I know in smallball. Now that I am in pro leagues my win % in the big leagues isnt as important to me.

Q. How did you find your name for your team?

A. I got it from the baseball term "beanball". For some reason real.com censors my name. I hear because it is a racist term. I don't know whats up with that.

Q. How do you think your team is doing this season?

A. LOUSY! I am losing to a friend that has had a team for less than a month. She hardly ever trains. But I am in 7th in the pro league junior division. I think I should be doing better though considering how old my team is.

Q. What are thoughts about Alligator Stevens?

A. He carries my team. He is my only true home run hitter. I see so many other teams that have 3 or 4 Alligator Stevens'.

Q. What do you plan on doing about shortstop postion?

A. Honestly I don't know. I am trying to juggle this roster. It is giving me a huge headache! I just started a new team tonight to see if maybe I can have better luck with them.

Q. What do you think about Lightning Johnson?

A. He is a good pitcher. He was my second best hitter 2 seasons ago AND was an awesome pitcher. Now his hitting is WAY down and his pitching is suspect. It is very frustrating. I feel like a salmon swimming upstream.

Q. What about those boys the Fighting McCurtis' can you give us your thoughts on them?

A. Yahnasa has done a great job with them. I used to beat her game after game, but she dominates me now. She found the chemistry on her team that I continue to search for on mine.

Q. What do you think about the Commish?

A. Well, Falconrock would answer this question differently than me. I don't know what that whole thing between them is all about. There are many details that I am unaware of. But I see the commish being very helpful and responding to lots of posts. I have no problem with the commish OR Falcon.

Q. What do you think about Falcon Rock?

A. I like him. He has done alot to enhance my personal smallball experience. He cares about the game. That is obvious.

Q. What do you like and/or dislike about the forum?

A. Oh I love the forum. I wish that FOODMONSTER would post less about who "wants a match". But I think it really adds to the whole smallball experience. I have met some really cool people in there like you,falcon,oxnard,yahnasa,spiritblue...o my the list goes on and on.

Q. What do you think about FOODMONSTER?

A. LOL...i see your questions are a bit behind my answers...i find him annoying. But he has never done anything to me personally, so more power to him. If I were to challenge him now I am sure he would clobber me. So I better not dis him too badly!

Q. On a percent based scale Post in the forum are helpful , useless, and just fun to read?

A. 50% helpful, and that is being generous. There is a lot of repetitive posting on there. But I am nevertheless addicted to it. Mostly read it for fun.

Q. Are there any people in the forum that annoy you or that you dislike?

A. NO. I have a sore spot for webmaster co, but he hasnt been there lately (unless he is under a different name). Other than that I cant think of anyone that has been mean to me.

Q. How is smallball turning out?

A. I think they have made huge strides in improving the game. Even though I have had my team since May and I basically suck I still play it more than any other game on the internet. I think that says it all.

Q. What are your favriote type of Doritos?

A. LOL! I love the variety of questions! You wont believe this, but I do not like Doritos. They leave a bad aftertaste in my mouth that I absolutely HATE!

Q. What do you think about me beating you in are sereis?

A. I think that you are just like everyone else...they all beat me. I have bounced back and forth between 6 and 7 stars for 2 weeks now. I think that you are just a better manager than me.

Q. Who do you think has the best smallball webpage?

A. Well I really like the fact that Falcon has a chat room, and i really think that you have put lots of work into your site. I would put it at a tie between you two. You have both done a great job. The fact that you do these interviews shows that you are really dedicated to smallball. I love it and cant wait to see the interview with Oxnard. Better get a curse filter though lmao.

Q. Was this interview fun for you?

A. Hell yes!
