    International League News & Notes August 31, 2006 BUFFALO BISONS BISONS TAKE THRUWAY SERIES CAP: With their 6-2 win over Rochester last night, the Bisons clinched the 2006 Thruway Series Cup Championship. Each year since the Herd rejoined the International League in 1998, they have competed with their closest rivals, the Rochester Red Wings and Syracuse SkyChiefs, for a series championship that is named after the expressway that connects them all. This year, the Bisons went 11-5 against the SkyChiefs and already have an 8-5 record against the Red Wings. The championship is Buffalo’s fifth in nine years, also taking the cup in 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2004. ALL-STAR HONORS: Outfielder Jason Dubois was named to the post-season International League All-Star team on Monday. The slugger is closing in on a Bisons’ triple crown as he ranks first on the team with 21 home runs (T-7th in IL) and 83 RBI (4th in IL) and is just behind Franklin Gutierrez (.281) for those that qualify with a .276 batting average. Dubois also leads the team with a .489 slugging percentage, is tied for the lead with 52 extra- base hits and is 2 nd with 30 doubles. He would be just the third player to win the team’s triple crown in the modern era, joining Russ Morman in 1993 (.320, 22 HR, 77 RBI) and Benny Distefano in 1988 (.263, 19 HR, 63 RBI). QUEST FOR QUALIFICATION: Pitcher Hyang-Nam Choi has been dominating for the Herd of late, with only one earned run since July 27.

  • 2013 KANSAS CITY ROYALS SPRING TRAINING NOTES Kansas City Royals (11-1-1) @ San Francisco Giants (4-6-3) Saturday, March 9, 2013
    2013 KANSAS CITY ROYALS SPRING TRAINING NOTES Kansas City Royals (11-1-1) @ San Francisco Giants (4-6-3) Saturday, March 9, 2013 DOUBLE DIP WASHED AWAY--The Royals were victimized by a pair of truncated games yesterday for the first time in franchise history, according to the “Voice of the Royals”, Denny Matthews, who has seen more Royals games than anyone so we’ll take his word for it...the sky opened up with two outs in the top of the third inning during the scheduled day game in Surprise against the Indians...the game was officially called after an hour and nine minute delay with KC leading 3-2...the nightcap made it through four frames at Salt River Fields with the Rockies in the lead 3-1 before the rain came...the delay was markedly shorter in Scottsdale, as the umpires called the game just two minutes after asking for the tarp. DEFICITS STILL SCARCE THROUGH FIRST TWO WEEKS--To say the first two weeks of the spring season have gone well for the Royals would be a vast understatement, as Kansas City has barely faced a deficit...the Royals trailed for the first time entering an inning in the fifth Thursday, snapping a stretch of 37 consecutive innings the club either lead or was tied...the Royals, overall, have been behind for only 13 of the 117 innings the club has played to this point. VS. GIANTS--Today is the second and final meeting of the spring between the Upcoming Probables Royals and the defending champs...KC earned a 9-5 win exactly a week ago across the valley in Surprise...the clubs haven’t met in the regular season since 2008.
