A quick note. There will be a minor league wrap for tomorrow, but I can't guarantee that it will be posted tomorrow. I'm on my way to Boise, where I will see the Hawks play.

Mathes improved his record to 8-5 by allowing only one run on a solo home run over...

Very light night tonight. I need it after yesterday. I'm hearing that Cubs first round pick Brett Jackson may sign quickly. Iowa Cubs Apparently the Royals are traveling from Omaha to Des Moines by horse-drawn buggy, because Iowa got an off-day. Omaha had two off-days. Tennessee Smokies Hate to have an off-day because they've won five in row, but at least they are busing to Mobile. Daytona Cubs The...
