We are more or less agreed that sometimes a team's W-L record doesn't tell their story clear and true.

All the rainbows in the sky
Start to weep, then say goodbye
You won't be seeing rainbows anymore

One more weekend.

And the neon when it's cold outside
And the highway when it's late at night
Got the radio on

There, there. It will all be over soon.

Season Four Episode 5 Vancouver Canadians Season Wrap Up with Vancouver Canadians Broadcaster Chris Georges.

Another minor league season comes to an end. It has not been one that will be remembered fondly. Only Vancouver made the playoffs. The other teams were lackluster and it required an injection of new faces at the trade deadline to create some interest in the last two months. Pitchers were falling like flies with most of the best pitching prospects needing Tommy John surgery. The best hitting prospect coming into the season missed time with a drugs ban. And yet the players who did get the call to the major league generally performed decently. And that is the minor leagues, the win/loss record doesn't matter, can you get one or two players a year to become part of your major league team? Fittingly Buffalo lost their last game.

Another loss for Buffalo but at least they scored five runs. Trenton Wallace could not escape the first inning. Josh Kasevich homered, again. Scranton hit four home runs, two by former Yankee Oswaldo Peraza.

The Bisons once again could only score one run. It took a Dunedin call up to drive in that one run. After losing 4-1 on Thursday, the Bisons lost 5-1 on Friday. Eric Pardinho continues to pitch well.

Mr. President, Mr. Immigration Man
Let me in, sweetie, to your fair land
I’m Tampa bound, and Memphis too
Short Fat Fanny is on the loose

One last road series, and then homeward bound. To play out the string.

Buffalo scored one run with six hits and that was not enough for a win. Alan Roden was the only hitter with two hits. Riley Tirotta tripled.

An overtime loss for Buffalo begins their final homestand of the year.

You can teach me lots of lessons
You can bring me lots of gold
But you just can't live in Texas
If you don't have lots of soul

The Rangers didn't expect to be playing out the string, either. But here we are.
