[UMFan83]

Lets go Iowa!

[Guest]

Mike Burns - yesterday's scheduled Iowa starter - was placed on the restricted list to be with his wife as they were having their first child. Greg Reinhard (Tennessee) was activated to replace Burns on the Iowa roster.

 

Jason Stanford - yesterday's spot starter - was placed on the restricted list today. Jeremy Papelbon (Daytona) was activated to replace Stanford on Iowa's roster.

 

Wish it was Jose Ceda and Casey Lambert doing the replacing instead.

Probable Starters:

 

Iowa: RHP Randy Wells (10-4, 4.02 ERA, 118.2 IP, 34 K/15 BB) @ RHP Tommy Hunter (4-2, 2.89 ERA, 53 IP, 28 K/9 BB)

Travis Metcalf with a grand slam off Randy Wells in the bottom of the 4th.

 

After 4, Oklahoma leads it 4-1.

[manbearcub]

Not a good last ten minutes for the Cubs.

[Time2Win]

A bad day all the way round. Looks like some more players will be up with the Cubs after today.

Pie and who?

[Guest]

8-1 and Oklahoma still threatening in the 6th. This one's turned ugly.

[Little Slide Rooter]

A bad day all the way round. Looks like some more players will be up with the Cubs after today.

Pie and who?

 

Maybe DuBois. Is this Andres Blanco character any good at short?

[Shilzzz]

DuBois isn't on the 40 man though. Does that not matter at this point?

Nobody chiming in on Daytona today, where's the love guys???

I think most people are watching the Bears play right now, which is why the interest in the minor league games are not as much as normal. From looking at the box though, Daytona's guys are looking great. Good hitting up and down the lineup, and Jackson dominating.

Good game. Up 7-0 after 7 is great.

 

CCP is right, I'm paying attention to the Bears...don't get too many games in LA so I better take advantage when I do get one!

[derekingram]

Alright, I'll let you guys off the hook!!!

Hey, I'm listening to you and have Madden and Michaels on mute...

[Guest]

Daytona wins it 9-1! They lead the best-of-5 series 2-0 and the series now shifts to Daytona.

 

The Cubs minor league season could be over tomorrow.

[NCCubFan]

Jeremy Papelbon (Daytona) was activated to replace Stanford on Iowa's roster.

I wonder if he'll get sent back to Daytona for tomorrow's game since Iowa lost.

 

Bad baseball day for me today (except for Daytona), good football day (Bears and Panthers winning).

MiLB.com[/url]"]FORT MYERS, Fla. -- For the second night in a row in their quest for the Florida State League championship, the Daytona Cubs handed the ball to a rookie. For the second night in a row, the kid in question delivered big-time, giving Daytona a commanding 2-0 lead in the best-of-5 series. Jay Jackson, a 20-year-old right-hander, allowed four hits over 5 2/3 shutout innings and the Cubs piled on 14 hits in a 9-1 rout of the Fort Myers Miracle that left them one win from their first title since 2000.

 

"That's big, to get the first two out of the way, especially on the road," said Jackson, who allowed two hits in the first and only two more over the next 4 2/3 innings. "I was just thinking I had to keep my team in the ballgame and throw strikes."

 

The 2008 ninth-round pick out of Furman University pitched like a veteran, striking out five without walking a batter before reaching his pitch limit with two outs in the sixth.

 

"I'm always nervous before I pitch," he said, "but it's a good nervous. It's just fun being out there."

 

Jackson began his pro career in June at short-season Boise, where he spent three games before moving up to Class A Peoria. He posted a 3.00 ERA there and struck out 37 over 24 innings before joining Daytona in early August and recording a 1.59 ERA in four games. He fanned 21 and walked seven in 17 innings.

 

It was the same brief career path that Saturday night's starter, Casey Coleman, had taken since being drafted in the 15th round this spring out of Florida Gulf Coast University. Coleman allowed one run over five innings in his Game 1 start but did not get the decision in Daytona's come-from-behind 5-1 victory.
