Iowa Did not play. Probably because of Obama. Smokies Also did not play. This only proves that Barack Hussein Obama will stop at NOTHING to keep the white man from playing baseball. Tradition means nothing to this socialist Nazi. Daytona Postponed. Can America really afford 4 more years of canceled minor league games? This kind of shit wouldn't happen under …

Iowa Another day another Anthony Rizzo HR. He decided to pair his 13th shot of the year with a triple and kept his average at .359. Brett Jackson on the other hand is really scuffling right now as he slipped down to .226 after another 0-4 day. Randy Wells got shelled and has a 7 + ERA right now. He is …

Iowa Anthony Rizzo just keeps mashing as he hit his 12th HR of the year. When he gets here and LaHair moves to LF it might be an interesting offense to watch. Brett Jackson got on base once and made the most of it by stealing 2 bases. Jay Jackson has been moved to the bullpen and has done well …

Iowa Anthony Rizzo just keeps hitting. He knocked out his 10th HR of the year last night and is now hitting .356. Luis Valbuena is also doing very well but at this point isn't anything but injury insurance. Frank Batista is really struggling in the bullpen since his promotion but is young-ish for the level so maybe he just needs …
