News & notes

 Tommy Kahnle's time in Boston may be over.

Kahnle was designated for assignment by the Red Sox after an 8-1 loss to Washington Tuesday night. Kahnle, through Tuesday, as a plump 8.00 ERA in 8 games.

Fellow Shaker grad Jeff Hoffman has yet to see the mound vs. the Mets as Toronto closes out their series with New York today (3 pm, SNY). Maybe today will be the day?

Rain forced an abrupt end to the Tri-City ValleyCats' game at Ottawa on Tuesday after 8 innings. Former Blue Jay Eric Pardinho was perfect through 8 innings before the rains came. The Titans, understandably, won by a count of 4-0.


Weather permitting, the series continues tonight.

The current heat wave may put a damper on opening weekend at Saratoga when the summer meet starts Friday. Temperatures are expected to climb into the 90's all weekend, and that could force postponing the races until the temperatures drop to more comfortable levels. It's not the first time this has happened, and probably won't be the last.

Speaking of Saratoga, trainer Cherie DeVaux is pointing Kentucky Derby & Belmont Stakes winner Golden Tempo toward the Travers in late August, and bypassing the Jim Dandy due to a recent illness.

Games to watch:

AUSL: Carolina @ Oklahoma City (ESPN2, tonight at 7).

MLB: Mets @ Atlanta (WTEN, Friday at 7).

AUSL: Carolina @ Utah (ESPN2, Friday at 9).

A quick reminder that TNA takes over the Broadview Center at UAlbany tonight & tomorrow to tape episodes of Impact & Xplosion. Current ticket prices start around $20, way cheaper than WWE has been of late.
