Too much has happened to recall it all, but here are the highlights since my last post.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;">Jarred Cosart</span> became the 51st former BlueClaw to play in the majors, and his debut with Houston was superb! Jarred pitched 8+ innings in St Pete, and allowed the Rays no runs on just 2 hits and 2 walks, and picked up a win in the Astros' 2-1 victory.<br />
<br />
Jarred is the 12th HomeSider to notch a major league win this year for a total of 38 wins.<br />
<br />
Cosart has been optioned back to Oklahoma City so that he can start the AAA All Star Game tonight in Reno, Nevada. <span style="color: #cc0000;">Tuffy Gosewisch</span> will also participate for the PCL.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #3d85c6;">Cesar Hernandez</span> has been sent from Lehigh Valley to Reading and he is learning to play center field. This makes the already crowded Reading outfield even more so.....<span style="color: #cc0000;">Daniel Carela</span> has been promoted from Lakewood to Clearwater, and has already won a game for the Threshers!<br />
<br />

<br />
I was in Trenton last night, and was treated to <span style="color: #cc0000;">Kelly Dugan's</span> AA debut. Dugan was promoted earlier in the day from Clearwater. Kelly was 1 for 4 on the night, as the Thunder scored 8 runs in the first 3 innings en route to an 8-0 win over the Fightin Phils. <span style="color: #cc0000;">Brody Colvin</span> was the victim of the bombing, but <span style="color: #cc0000;">Colby Shreve</span> and <span style="color: #cc0000;">Hector Neris</span> threw scoreless relief. <span style="color: #cc0000;">Jim Murphy</span> and <span style="color: #cc0000;">Maikel Franco</span> had 2 hits each for Reading.<br />
<br />
In Clearwater, <span style="color: #3d85c6;">Chris Serritella's</span> second hit of the game in the bottom of the 11th inning led to the winning run for the Threshers and a 2-1 win over Tampa. <span style="color: #cc0000;">Steven Inch</span> recorded his first win since moving up from Lakewood last week.......In Greensboro, <span style="color: #cc0000;">Angelo Mora</span> had 4 hits, and <span style="color: #cc0000;">Larry Greene, Carlos Tocci, Chace</span> <span style="color: #cc0000;">Numata</span> and <span style="color: #cc0000;">Mitch Walding</span> all had 2 hits, but Lakewood dropped a 6-5 decision when the Grasshoppers scored a pair of runs inh the bottom of the 9th. <span style="color: #cc0000;">Jeb Stefan</span> pitched well, going 6 strong innings and allowing just 3 runs, 2 earned, on only 3 hits and NO walks.<br />
<br />
In Scranton, <span style="color: #cc0000;">Mike Zagurski</span> was in the right place at the right time, picking up his 2nd win since joining the RailRiders, when Scranton scored in the bottom of the 9th to beat Buffalo, 3-2. Mike is 4-1, 2.87 in AAA this year.............In Colorado Springs, <span style="color: #cc0000;">Greg Golson</span> had 2 hits, a walk, stole a base, and drove in 2 runs for the SkySox in their 5-0 win over Reno............In Fresno, <span style="color: #cc0000;">Michael Taylor</span> had 2 hits, 2 walks, drove in 2 runs and scored 2 more...o yeah, he stole home also- but the River Cats dropped an 8-7 game to the Grizzlies.<br />
