Sweep, Promotion, Random tidbits

Busy week and my choice of hockey over baseball means a crappy blog week. So here is what I have missed in a nutshell.

Syracuse swept Buffalo in the four game series that ended on Friday.

Syracuse's Thruway road trip ended with a 6-2 record. Anyone think the Chiefs brass might make a push at publicizing the "Thruway Cup" this year?

David Purcey was recalled by Toronto for a spot start, sending Mike MacDonald to Syracuse for a start of his own.

The Syracuse Chiefs announced that June 25th will be "WWE Night" featuring special guest Lillian Garcia. Information on that event is listed on the Chiefs website.

Syracuse will host Lehigh Valley for a four game series starting Saturday.

Lehigh Valley is 2-14, already 9 games out of first in the division. They are 0-8 on the road. The problem is, Syracuse struggled against Ottawa last year (same franchise as Lehigh Valley, with the same current futility.) I have to feel that anything less than winning 3 out of 4 would be a very disappointing series for Syracuse.

Probable pitchers for Saturday:
(LHV) Ron Chiavacci (1-0, 0.52) vs (SYR) Josh Banks (0-2, 7.02)


Probably won't be a write up on the game (as will also be the case for most away games) due to the fact that I will not be attending the game.
