6-1 week. Get 3 out of 4 (a 1 run loss) from MOR and sweep WAS to open a 5 game lead in the Stout. Also get ourselves tied for 2nd best record in the IL and open a 2 game wildcard lead over Baltimore should Pat surge at the end of the season.

We're 32-13 since Colin Cash came back, everyone got off the injured list, and we acquired 2 time Stout Slugger Jimmy Jones. In just 36 games, Jones is hitting .281/.383/.570/.984. He's got as many homers (9) in half the time. He's also already driven in 26 and scored 19 batting 2nd for us. He's been as good as I hoped.

Robby English is back. He's 3-1 with 0.77 ERA in his last 5 starts.

We get to see my old friends in the Ale the next two weeks.

I find it a bit odd that A ball regular season ended this sim. Seems a bit early.

Coming to Pawtucket to pad your stats?

Yes, and trying to extend our division lead. You can go back to your old AAAAA players and wacky line-ups.

I think we're barely above .500 against the Dinos, but we're not above .500 against the rest of the league!

We play real bad.

The minor league schedule I believe was changed to coincide with the BLB September call ups.

There was a time where the minor league playoffs would take place in the first sim or two in September and some owners didn't want to bring they're kids up while the playoffs were going on.

A and AA are not done if your team makes the playoffs.

Batavia is back in business it seems.

I can't wait until Gomez and Inouye gets back from injury. Our offense is really struggling without Gomez's contact and Inouye's power in the outfield. We just need to stay afloat for two more weeks.

6-0, nice week. On a 9 game winning streak. Robles comes back this week as well so for the first time all season we won't have someone on the DL.

The bullpen continues to suck. Mac Aaron has not helped boasting an ERA over 6. But the starters have improved lately. Herberholz continues to shine with a year almost identical to his Pale Ale year a few years back. Oshman is turning it around finally as well. Kling just gets it done. If this guy could stay healthy I think he'd be a force.

We batted .323 as a team with Volquez (who's living up to my scouts expectations)Ingle, and Ortiz all batting over .400

We need to keep this roll going. The lead over Davy is 3 games. Would like some more room.

Silly. I remember the debate in 2000 if the Cards should bring up Albert Puljos up from Memphis when they were in the AAA playoffs. That's part of the sport and for the record, they left him down for the playoffs.

Only difference there is IRL if your AAA team gets eliminated from the playoffs on a Monday you can call a player up Tuesday. Here you'd have to wait until the following Monday, losing just shy of a week of playing time for your call-up. Trivial probably, but in the BLB world it's the difference between 3 September weeks and 4 September weeks to take a look at your prospects.

How is that possible when Pujols never played above AA?
