We've seen sub-.500 teams win divisions in football. The Tri-City Valleycats are steaming toward .500 at 21-22 after dispatching Equipe Quebec, 7-1, on Friday night. The 'Cats took first place in their division earlier this week in the course of sweeping the Washington Wild Things. Tri-City has now won four in a row, and six of their last ten, heading into tonight's game, weather permitting.
Personal note: It would be just dandy if the 'Cats remain in first when my employers have their annual picnic at Bruno Stadium later this month. Just sayin'.
=====================================
It's going to be a while before we see Atlanta Braves pitcher Ian Anderson (Shenendehowa) back on the mound.
Anderson was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday due to shoulder inflammation. That spells trouble for Atlanta, in 3rd place in the NL East after losing to Tampa Bay on Friday night.
Meanwhile, back at home, the Amsterdam Mohawks of the Perfect Game Collegiate League will be without Brett Young (Albany Academy/Siena/VCU) for the rest of the season. Word is that Young has come down with a double whammy----mono & strep throat. Young, who converted from infield to outfield while at VCU, should be ready to go for Siena next spring.
=====================================
Local viewers will have a choice between the Mets-Pirates and Yankees-Red Sox in primetime tonight.
Yanks-BoSox is one of the regional choices for Fox's Baseball Night in America, while WCWN, picking up the WPIX feed from New York, will carry Mets-Pirates, which will start 10 minutes prior to Yankees-Red Sox. Weather permitting, of course.
======================================
The Albany Empire returns home tonight after a two-week bye period for a rematch with the Jersey Flight. Albany beat Jersey back in week 2 on the road. Kickoff on YouTube will be around 7:05.
