The Doubledays sit at 8-11, 5th place in the Pinckney Division, but just 3 games back of the Muckdogs of Batavia.

It was a rough night for the farm affiliates, who went 2-5, but a young kid gave us a sweet taste of what is to come.

The farm affiliates split 6 games, but some fine individual performances gave hope to the faithful.

Ugh. Let’s just forget Thursday ever happened. A loss to K.C., five losses on the farm and two poor pitching performances by two of Toronto’s best pitching prospects. At least a couple of the games were exciting, as two of the affiliates failed in comeback bids.

It was not a night for starting pitchers on the farm, as either poor performance or North Carolina rain prevented any of the six starters from having a shutdown night.

Josh Banks had a strong night on the mound as the affiliates went 5-1.

A 2 – 4 night for the Toronto Farm.

On our day, the Canadians in the Jay minor league system did pretty well.  David Corrente hit 2 sacrifice flies (how Canadian is that?) and caught a shutout in a Dunedin victory, while Jonathan Baksh doubled and singled and drove in 2 in an Auburn loss.  The farm affiliates went 4-2.

It's Canada's 139th birthday today, which is one hell of a coincidence, since that was probably the paid attendance at the game in our nation's capital last night.

In my last minor league report Pulaski won their game, to help the Jays avoid being swept throughout the minors. Yesterday, one team managed to make sure the Jays avoid the sweep again. However, this time it was a case of one loss ruining the chance for a complete organisational sweep, as the parent club and all six minor league teams won. Yes, you read that right. All six minor league teams won and so did Toronto, yet it wasn’t an organisational sweep. Read on to find how this happened.

Lansing won near the end and a Batter's Box favourite had the right stuff in Syracuse but, unfortunately, the offense didn't. Six games on the farm last night out of a scheduled seven. Can you guess who had the rain delay?

The affliates went 3-1 with two rainouts.

Two wins, Two losses, Two did not play.

Cory Patton had ten RBI's as Dunedin ran up the score on Fort Myers.  David Purcey pitched well in a Fisher Cat win, Davis Romero did not as the Chiefs lost.  Anthony Hatch and Brian Bormaster led the Lugnuts to victory and Casey McKenzie pitched Auburn to a win.  A Jays starting pitcher notched up twelve K's, and it is not a flame thrower.  A Pulaski rainout leaves the affiliates with a 4-1 record on the day.

Pop quiz, who leads the Fisher Cats in OBP?
