I met a Traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desart. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
--- Percy Shelley, 1819

Dunedin played the first game of the FSL final and they had a one run lead with two outs in the ninth inning. But St Lucie hit a two run home run and won 6-5. Dunedin have played four post season games and they have a 2-2 record. Both losses were late innings bullpen blow ups. Mitch White didn't do much for his confidence, Buffalo lost. New Hampshire won a tight game by scoring the only run. It was the final game of their season.
After losing in extra innings in game two, Dunedin had to win game three, and win it they did. It was a 3-1 win. Dunedin had good pitching and timely hitting but were helped by Fort Myers. On to the final tomorrow where they will play St Lucie. New Hampshire won while Buffalo lost.

Vancouver lost their playoff game in extra innings and their season is over. Dunedin did not get a chance to clinch their playoff series. They will try again on Saturday. New Hampshire won while Buffalo lost.

Jobu, Jobu. Alas, mighty Jobu. Eighteen runs in the last six games? Have you lost your powers? Is it time to summon a new guiding spirit?
It's time. It's those Orioles again.
Dunedin were leading 5-2 in the eighth inning and were six outs away from reaching the final of the FSL playoffs. But Ryan Jennings and Ian Churchill combined to concede five and the Jays were down 7-5 with three outs remaining. 7-5 was the final score setting up the winner take all game tomorrow night. Elsewhere Buffalo won while New Hampshire lost. Vancouver get their playoffs going again on Friday and they have to win to stay alive.

Here's Wednesday's late minor league recap. Buffalo and New Hampshire won.
Buffalo and New Hampshire won. Vancouver is on the brink of elimination. Dunedin won its first playoff game.
The Vancouver Canadians hope to get a split in Eugene Tuesday.
Now more than ever, Jobu. We express our gratitude for an 8-2 road trip. All things are possible with your aid.
I can't remember a year when we've talked so much about the fourth outfielder. For the life of me I don't see that there's a whole lot of difference between Raimel Tapia and Ezequiel Carrera, who didn't seem to inspire nearly as much excitement. So I thought I'd wander through the years and see what we've had here all along.
The A level seasons ended on Sunday and both Blue Jay affiliates are into the playoffs. Dunedin made it by having their game on Sunday rained out. Buffalo were also rained out. New Hampshire won while Vancouver lost.

Today is the last day of the season for the A level teams. Vancouver are in the playoffs but Dunedin won't know their fate until tomorrow. Win and they are in, lose and they need help. Dunedin took care of business on Saturday with a big win. Buffalo, New Hampshire and Vancouver lost.

Buffalo won the first game of their doubleheader. And here ends the good news, all other games ended with an L. It was especially tough for Dunedin who are still battling for a playoff spot. Vancouver lost but had a ninth inning lead. PK Morris and Trenton Wallace had good games. LJ Talley had three hits as it was a good day for the initialed class.

In our time of trial, it is Jobu who comes to our aid.
