Too soon to predict revival In their first season downtown, the Fort Wayne TinCaps won the Midwest League championship and far surpassed the largest attendance the team pulled when it was the Wizards playing at Memorial Stadium on Coliseum Boulevard. The team itself has clearly been a success, but has it helped...

Here is MiLB.com's take on the matchup between the Bees and the TinCaps. No one said repeating as Midwest League champions would be easy, and the Burlington Bees are faced with the ultimate challenge as they meet Minor League Baseball's winningest club in 2009, the Fort Wayne TinCaps, for the title. Both clubs squeaked into the Finals, edging their second-round opponents by just one run in their decisive...

Alumni Clayton Richard was traded from the White Sox to the Padres in the Jake Peavy deal (sorry to hear about that Tigers fans). Richard had just come off back-to-back 8 inning gems (again, sorry Tiger fans) with the White Sox allowing just one run in each game. Now with the Padres, he's started 2 games, going 1-0 with a 3.18 ERA. He also collected his first RBI as a batter this week. Also related...
