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.

It has not been a good season in New Hampshire. Their season finished Sunday with another loss. Buffalo also lost as Jake Bloss had some good and some bad. Speaking of good, Josh Kasevich homered again.

Vancouver lost in extra innings and their season is over. The loss in the tenth was a bit of a disaster featuring a bunt single, an error and a walk off hit by pitch. Buffalo won with Alan Roden homering. New Hampshire lost. Their season ends today and it was not one to remember. Their record stands at 52-83. Vancouver won their title last season but that success didn't hold up at the AA level.

Vancouver lost a one run game and now have to win two in a row to win the championship. Buffalo won big with the usual suspects, Alan Roden, Josh Kasevich and Steward Berroa having good games. New Hampshire had their win streak stopped at one.

The night was clear
And the moon was yellow
And the leaves came tumbling down

The other guys are playing out the string, too. They may not have admitted it yet.

New Hampshire won its first game in a week. They scored five runs, three with sac flies and one with a wild pitch. But a win is a win. Buffalo also won with Alan Roden going deep. Vancouver had a travel day, their playoff series resumes Friday.

Keeping up appearances
Keeping up the pretense is
All that's really left for us
