Isn't the sub broken up into 4 subs? If so, I don't think the wait will be near as long as everyone is expecting. The first group sub popped in 36 calendar days (too lazy to figure out the calendar days). That 36 days includes about 8 days in "Receive Hold" status.
If it is broken into 4 subs, I am glad I was not the one handling this one. The average times that I click on the submission status is about 25 times per day. I would get nothing accomplished if I was clicking on 4 different submissions 25 times a day.

I had to cut back to 23 times a day. Those 8 extra clicks were just too much.

Top prospect has fastball to behold
Since you may not be able to see Jeremy Jeffress' fastball tonight, keep your eye on the reading from the radar gun on the left-field scoreboard.
As the Huntsville Stars face the Mobile Bay Bears at Joe Davis Stadium, Jeffress will be the opening-night starting pitcher. And he brings a fastball that leaves hitters to conclude, "It sounded fast."
"It's a special fastball," said first-year Stars manager Bob Miscik.
It's that special fastball - one that has peaked, according to Jeffress, at 102 mph when he was pitching for Single-A West Virginia in 2007 - and one that makes Jeffress the top-rated prospect on the Stars' season-opening roster.
Baseball America ranks the 21-year-old Jeffress - a first-round draft pick in 2006 - as the No. 4 prospect in the Milwaukee Brewers farm system.
"His promise is his fastball," Miscik said. "He can really run it up there. It's a hard pitch to hit. If he can find a second pitch he can use in the strike zone and be consistent with it, he's going to be very tough.
"If he can get three pitches in the zone, he's going to be in the big leagues - quickly. His fastball is dominating."
For now, Jeffress is happy to be tonight's starter for the Stars.
"There's always going to be pressure," said Jeffress, a South Boston, Va., native. "Everybody is looking for the No. 1 (pitcher) to do good. But it's all about having fun, playing your game and do what you can do.
"If the fans see you're playing hard, that's alll you can give them. But it's a great feeling to be No. 1 on the team."
As for the other top-rated prospects, this isn't 2008, when the Stars were stocked with six of the Brewers' top 10 prospects.
Huntsville starts this season with only Jeffress and catcher Jonathon Lucroy among the organization's top 10 prospect.
Outfielder Lorenzo Cain, rated the Brewers' No. 6 prospect by Baseball America, remained at extended spring training because of an injury and is expected to join the Stars soon.
There is also third baseman Vinny Rottino, who has spent parts of the last three seasons with the Brewers.
Of course, Miscik doesn't view his team through those labels. To the manager, if you're in uniform, you're a prospect.
"I treat them all like they are promising major leagues," Miscik said. "And they all can be, in the right spot. I don't care if you're the so-called 24th guy (on the roster), I'm going to treat you like you've got a chance to play in the big leagues and that's going to be it.
Everybody else can talk about if you're a prospect or not."
Great article, Joey. As the article says, Jeffress will be a stud if he can find a second or third pitch. Hopefully he finds it soon because the Brewers could use a starter. (or 5)
Does he have any cards yet? Being that Huntsville is 45 min. drive, I usually catch a game or two each year. I'd like to try and get some auto's.
My best minor league auto's
In 85, Huntsville Star's first season, my little league team went on banner night. I got just about all of the Stars to sign mine and a few of the Knoxville Blue Jays. The major stars were Mcgwire, Canseco, Walt Wiess, Terry Stienbach and I got Cecil Fielder's too. He was catching in the bullpen for Knox.
In 92 at a Birmingham Barons game I got Chipper Jones auto when he was with the Greenville Braves
He's in 2005 Bowman Chrome Draft, 2005 Bowman AFLAC, 2006 Bowman Sterling, 2007 Bowman Heritage, 2007 Bowman and 2007 Bowman's Best. He's in a few minor league products as well.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Ken Stabler won't return as the football color analyst for Alabama radio broadcasts.
The former Crimson Tide and NFL quarterback had been on leave from his duties since his arrest on a drunken-driving charge last June. He was found not guilty by a judge in Robertsdale, Ala.
Crimson Tide Sports Network general manager Jim Carabin and Alabama athletic director Mal Moore announced the decision Thursday.
In a statement released by the university, Stabler said: "I will continue to support UA in any way possible and wish only the best to the entire Alabama family."
No permanent replacement has been named. Former Cleveland Browns general manager Phil Savage is handling color duties for Saturday's spring game.
Although they've had the cards for over a month now, I believe today is technically day 15 due to the receive hold. Unfortunately we lost 6 or 7 business days because I was on vacation. Bad timing, I guess.
One submission is being packed right now...I can feel it. They're checking the order and recounting. Slip is going to be posted. TODAY TODAY TODAY TODAY TODAY TODAY TODAY TODAY TODAY TODAY!!!!!!!!
I guess another week is going by with no poppage... Let's see will they be working on Monday being Patriots day, and all the people in Mass will be off.... Does CA treat this as a Holiday?

Today being day 12 puts my estimate at a much more aggressive July 17th for poppage.
