PrintMinor League Player of the Day – Hector Gimenez - 3 for 4, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 Runs. Nobody really had a great game on Thursday so this award goes to Gimenez who led the night with 3 hits including a homer. Vector was the 2nd part of back to back bombs and will hopefully use his veteran leadership to help the Lookouts recover from this early playoff hole.
AAA – Season over
AA – The Lookouts plated 5 early runs, but the Smokies (Cubs) fired back for 7 scores of their own in the fateful 4th inning and went on to defeat Chattanooga 9 to 6 in game 1 of the best of 5 playoff series. Starter Stephen Fife threw well early, but had the wheels fall of in the aforementioned 4th to the tune of 5 hits and 6 runs. Overall Fife gave up 7 runs while striking out 4 in 3.2 innings. Cole St. Clair allowed a homer in relief and Josh Wall also allowed a run, but Javy Solano was strong with 2 scoreless frames. Despite the loss the Lookouts cranked out 3 homers, starting with a solo shot by Travis Denker in the 2nd inning. Scott Van Slyke crushed a 2-run bomb in the 3rd, and was promptly followed up by a Hector Gimenez jack. Vector had 3 total hits on the night, while Corey Smith with 2 for 4 with a double and a rare triple. Alex Castellanos and Alfredo Silverio must have left their success in the regular season as they combined to go 0 for 9.
HiA – Playoffs start Saturday against either the Inland Empire 66ers or the Lake Elsinore Storm
LoA – Season over
Rookie Ogden – The Raptors finished their regular season with a victory as they took out the Ghosts (Rockies) 9 to 4. Ogden now enters the postseason with a modest two-game win streak and will look to continue their success against the Orem Owlz. A couple of homers highlighted the night as O'Koyea Dickson crushed his 13th of the season while Scott Wingo connected on his 4th. Catcher Andrew Edge went 2 for 4 with a double while shortstop Justin Boudreaux had a single and a triple to make up for his 11th error (in just 32 games). Starter Freddie Cabrera pitched well enough to get the win as he allowed 5 hits and 4 runs (2 earned) over 6 innings. Relievers Mike Thomas and Robert Purpura combined for 3 hitless frames to close out the game while striking out 4.
Rookie Arizona – Season over
DSL – Season over
Coming up - The Lookouts will send Chris Withrow to the mound in Game 2 of their playoff series to try and steal a game in Tennessee before heading home on Saturday. This game will again be on milb.tv. Derek Cone will get the nod in the Raptors playoff opener against the rival Owlz (Angels) in a short best of 3 series that will start on the road, but will quickly move to Ogden on Saturday.

US Open update
Semis:
1) Djokovic vs. 3) Federer
4) Murray or 28) Isner vs. 2) Nadal or 21) Roddick
First, I don’t get why 1 would face 3 before the finals. Anyway, looks like a Wimbledon finals rematch with Djok winning again IMO. He’s just on fire.
"Don’t worry, there’s plenty of uncensored sex on the internet."
Yeah, tennis is weird to have the semi-finals pit 1 vs 3 and 2 vs 4, instead of 1 vs 4 and 2 vs 3. My guess is it is a British thing. I’d like to blame the BCS on the Brits too, but alas we have our own dumbshits for that.
They draw the seeds out of a hat
Sometimes 1 plays 3, sometime 1 plays 4. They also draw them out of a hat for the 4th round and the quarterfinals, so you occasionally see 4th round matchups of 1 vs 9 and 8 vs 16, and QF matchups of 1 vs 5 and 4 vs 8.

Fed did beat Djoker the last time they met, at the French Open
But you’re right, Djoker’s been unbelievable this year…

Happy Friday
The only girl I’ve ever loved
Was born with roses in her eyes
But then they buried her alive
One evening 1945
With just her sister at her side
And only weeks before the guns
All came and rained on everyone
Now she’s a little boy in Spain
Playing pianos filled with flames
On empty rings around the sun
All sing to say my dream has come
But now we must pick up every piece
Of the life we used to love
Just to keep ourselves
At least enough to carry on

I had no idea about Brandon Beachy’s story to the majors.

I wonder if they would try to get Baez to start or relieve when he converts to pitching.

I am amazed
at how often I see Santana’s name in the box scores. Dude doesn’t seem to take days off (he probably should).

Pat Burrell may be forced to retire:
Burrell signed for $1 million this year and could do so again. On the other hand, he might have to retire because of a rare and debilitating foot injury that one doctor told him occurs mostly in car accidents.
Ouch.

In 1970, a 13-year old named Debbi Sivyer started working for the Oakland A’s as one of the first-ever ball girls. Her job was simple: to retrieve foul balls down the third-base line at all Oakland home games. But, Sivyer soon began serving refreshments to the umpires as a part of her duties, a hobby that eventually grew into a business, partially funded by her ball girl earnings. She opened a cookie store in 1977, and eventually became the world-famous Mrs. Fields.

Olney "heard" that the Mets would listen to offers for David Wright
yes please?
"Heroes get remembered, but Legends never die."
Kind of politics, but not really. Jon Huntsman, GOP presidential candidate, uses a baseball glove instead of a mitt in attack ad and gets dinged for it.
and hope this isn't too political in response, but what if Mitt used a glove?
