They said, Joey did this and Joey did that
Oh, that guy was crazy, what a crazy cat
Then something strange would happen, there's trouble on the way
And trouble only means one thing
Joey's on the street again

Joey really ought to be involved in these games, surely? Unfortunately, he's in the throes of a 2-26 slump in AAA, and it's hard to see this having anything resembling a happy ending.

The title is for Glevin. If not Amalfi it was going to be a Schreck pun.

Alex Amalfi had to come into the Vancouver game in the first inning. He and a bevy of relievers held Spokane to one hit over 8.1 innings and Vancouver had some big hits to win easily. Buffalo had a nice win with Alan Roden and Josh Kasevich leading the way. RJ Schreck had a big game for New Hampshire but it wasn't enough. Dunedin lost a low scoring game.

Buffalo's bats were in full working condition as they beat up on Scranton. Jonatan Clase homered and drove in three runs. Vancouver scored a run in the ninth to win. New Hampshire and Dunedin lost.

Adrian Pinto and Kendry Rojas had big games in Vancouver's win. Both could be in New Hampshire soon. Dunedin also won with contributions from both sides of the game. New Hampshire's offense produced 13 hits but they lost, as did Buffalo despite a nice start from Jake Bloss.

Now one and one is two
Two and two is four
I'm heavy loaded, baby
I'm booked, I gotta go

Once upon a time, kids, there was a third major league. The ball park where the Blue Jays will be spending the weekend must be among the last surviving bits of evidence.

Sean Keys hit his first professional home run for Dunedin and later singled in the winning run in the ninth. RJ Schreck homered fr New Hampshire in their win. Buffalo and Vancouver lost.

A pair of one-run losses at the top. Three shutout wins and a doubleheader sweep at the bottom.

Well, that's a filthy lie. The Blue Jays are not playing in the City of Angels tonight. They're not even playing in Los Angeles County.

All four affiliates conceded double figures in runs and all lost. There were a few nice performances among the hitters.

Rafael Sanchez was one out away from back to back complete game shutouts (7 innings). New Hampshire won his start but lost the other end of the doubleheader. Buffalo won a low scoring game with Jake Bloss making his debut. An Adrian Pinto grand slam helped Vancouver to win. Dunedin also won.

Kendry Rojas had ten strikeouts as Vancouver won a close game. Rojas has now made five starts for Vancouver. He has a 2.51 ERA and 40 K's in 32 innings. Buffalo and Dunedin lost big. New Hampshire had yet another rainout.

Well, I spend all night with the dealer
Tryin' to get ahead
Spend all day at the Holiday Inn
Trying to get out of bed

Oakland has a bad team, but there are degrees of bad...

For the second time in three days the Vancouver Canadians laid the lumber on Eugene. The scored 15 runs and won easily. Jace Bohrofen had a big game. Alan Roden is heating up and his home run helped Buffalo win on Thursday. Dunedin lost in extra innings, New Hampshire were rained out.
