4/12 Minor League Report! Calero!

Buffalo 4, Pawtucket 2 in 15 innings Boy, we’ve had some long games early this season. I believe a 14 inning affair for Savannah, now a 15 inning game in Buffalo, resulting in the Bisons first win. Nick Evans provided the heroics with his first hit of the season, a walkoff 2 run homer in the bottom of the 15th. Jesus Feliciano had the lone multi hit game, while Fernando Martinez (0 for 4,...

Is Santana Jinxed?

Okay, it’s a silly question, but it just seems he can never catch a break. We all know that a combination of an incredible error and absolutely no bat support did him in once again.

I think he hurt us at...

A Page Out of 2008

A Page Out of 2008 And a bad one at that. Yes, we battled back, and that was great to see, but we should have won this game, not lost 5-4 after coming back twice. We lost because we left 14 men on base, and because every time we needed the big pitching performance from the pen they let us down. Some non-linear thoughts on why we failed tonight: Mainey pitched really well with the exception of a...
