Lazy Hazy Part 1

I haven't given the blog much attention the past two days. Sorry... I blame the weather... and the makers of Special Export. I just wish I had a sex story to tell...

Sox Update: The Southsiders take the first two. I won't rehash the stats here. Suffice to say that, unlike other Sox bloggers, I have always had confidence in Jermaine Dye. AJ is just on a tear. Contreras pitched well, again, with no run support.

Down On The Farm:

Charlotte (AAA): On friday, guess what happened? Another loss to Ottawa!!! Big Frank was 0 for 3... Apparently, on saturday, Buffalo became a member of the 2-team International league, and lost to the Knights, 2-1. Thomas was 1 for 4.

Birmingham (AA): On friday, the Barons lost to West Tenn, 7-3. Rogo was 2 for 4 with a homer and a triple. Lamura struck out 3 in 1 and 1/3rd IP. At press time, the game on saturday was in the 14th inning, deadlocked at 1. ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

Winston-Salem (A): On friday, the 'hog beat Kinston, 5-3. Collaro watch: 2 for 4 with a homer. Dizard struck out 7 in 6 IP. Saturday was more of the same, beating Kinston 3-2.

Kannapolis (A): On friday, and I shit you not, Kannapolis and Delmarva played for 18 innings ( yes, 18 innings). You'd think they'd stop these Low A games after about 15 innings and just let everyone go home with a pat on the back. Oh, Delmarva won, 7-6. The bizarre box score defies explaination, but Smith, Gonzales and King each had 3 hits ( though they each had at least 8 at bats). A different Gonzales was the starting pitcher, and struck out 8 in just 4 and 1/3rd. Moat picked up 6 Ks in just 2 and 2/3rd. Perez pitched 5 and 2/3rd in relief. Apparently tired from friday's epic battle, the Intimdators fall to Greenville on saturday 16-4. Gonzales (not the pitcher Gonzales, the other one) was 3 for 5.
