Columbus 9, Buffalo 1 By Dave (Retire31) The Bisons had their rumps handed to them as they fell 9-1 to the Clippers on Friday. Buffalo scattered six hits that only produced one run thanks to an RBI double by DH Corey Wimberly in the eighth. That was his second hit of the game. Lucas May also had a double while Matt Tuiasosopo struck out three times in four at-bats. He’ll rival Kirk if he ever [...]

Buffalo 5, Columbus 1 By Joe D. What a tremendous start for Jeurys Familia who threw 5 2/3 scoreless innings while striking out six in Buffalo’s 5-1 win over Columbus. Familia allowed just two hits and two walks and at one point he retired eight batters in a row in what may have been the strongest performance of the season for the big right-hander. Familia improves to 5-2 on the season, but on the road he’s [...]

Buffalo 5, Toledo 3 By Joe D. Matt Harvey started the game and really labored through four innings after which Wally Backman had seen enough and pulled his young righty after 84 pitches. Harvey didn’t allow a run, but simply didn’t have it having allowed four hits and dishing out an alarming five walks. Was it a terrible day? No, not at all, but it was clear he was struggling mentally and physically, so Backman [...]

Toledo 3, Buffalo 2 By Joe D. It was a tough loss for the Buffalo Bisons as they fell to the Toledo Mud Hens 3-2 after closer Fernando Cabrera allowed a walk-off homer in the ninth inning to Toledo shortstop Brent Dlugach. Garrett Olson got the start and didn’t pitch too badly allowing just two runs in his five inning stint, but he was a bit on the wild side as he dished out five walks. [...]

How do you follow a no-hitter? With the next best thing – a complete game shutout by R.A. Dickey. Summary Oh man, is it good to be a Mets fan right now or what? Dickey had one hell of a task this afternoon – he had to follow the single best pitching performance in Mets history against a pretty good Cardinal team led by our ex-CFer, Carlos Beltran. He jokingly said in the post-game interviews [...]

Friday was the first stop on the Herd’s 8-game swing through Ohio, and the Bisons got off to a quick start. [...]
