Draft the players, sign FA, hire an on-field presence ad shot for the World Series.s. Breaking News:
At the age of 28,
Lawrence Morgan might have some potential he hasn't realized yet
-- if his success at the plate last week is any indication. The
Dallas left fielder put up some exceptional numbers the past
seven days with a .524 batting average. For his efforts
Morgan collected the American League Player of the Week Award.
It can be difficult for a young player to step out of the shadows
and assert himself in the Canadian League, but last week
Joshua Swain Jr. of the
Montreal Boars reminded everyone just why he's here as he threw
up numbers that made him an easy selection for Player of the Week.
Swain Jr. rocked opposing pitching for a .440 average (11-25), 4
home runs and 12 RBIs to come away with the award.
Today
Paul Kiggins Jr. went 2-for-4 in the
Halifax Mooseheads 5-3 victory over the
Seattle Pilots. This extended his hitting streak to 20 games.
Kiggins Jr. declined to comment for the media immediately after the
game.
It's time once again for the Major League Internet Baseball All Star game!
It wasn't just another day at the ballpark for
Joe Jackson. It was a very special day, one that many players
never experience. But he did. Jackson went on a tear and cracked hit
after hit off
St. Louis pitching.
Joao Lima Jr. of the
Ottawa Lynxx gave the Bombers a steady diet of fine pitches and
he walked off the mound with a complete-game shutout. He blanked
them 4-0 on 5 hits with a total of 8 strikeouts and no walks.
The Gamblers received bad news this morning.
Toby Meade will miss 6-7 months due to a fractured elbow. In the
Las Vegas-Dallas
game he sustained the injury while throwing a pitch. "I'm
disappointed more than anything," he told reporters later in the
day. "You can't help your team on the bench," Meade sighed. "I'll do
the rehab work and hope for a quick recovery."

Game for TerryWednesday, July 8th, 2009: It was a sensational day at the plate for Bill Terry as he led the charge to a 16-3 win over the Giants.

The manager for the Giants told BNN reporters after the game, "Terry put the ball into play. He really hit it hard. When you do that, you've got a pretty good chance to do some damage. And that's what happened. I feel like we threw some pretty good pitches, but he just put some good swings on the ball." B. Terry singled in the 1st, hit a two-run double in the 2nd, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 5th, doubled in the 6th and flied out in the 8th.

Swain Jr. Booms 3 HRsTuesday, July 7th, 2009: Going... Going... Gone! Joshua Swain Jr. did it three times in the Montreal 15-5 victory over the Edmonton Oil Kings. Three home runs in one game! "I was in a groove," he said, "and every pitch they tossed up there looked like a grapefruit." Commenting after the game to the press, the elated Swain Jr. explained, "I tell you what, I was so shocked because I didn't think the last ball had enough to get out. I thought it was just going to be a long out." For the day the Montreal second baseman went 4-4 against Edmonton with 6 RBIs and 4 runs scored in a brilliant display of power hitting. J.
