We are back home to play the Denver Bears a 4 game series. They just split 4 games at home with Sacramento. We are 2-2 against them this season. I just realized that I have been mentioning in previous series that this is so and so's first trip to Portland, but we only play 8 games with each team from the East and we each only make one trip to visit each other. The Bears are 11th in the PCL in scoring with 4.19 runs per game (Portland is still last with 3.78). Being 11th when you play your home games in Denver is pretty pathetic. Of course, being last in our park is even worse... They are 15th in fewest runs allowed with 5.22 per game (Portland is 8th with 4.43). They have the worst team ERA in baseball (4.90). Denver Bears (54-82 .397 24 GB tied for 5th place in the PCL East) at Portland Beavers (54-82 .397 26 GB in 8th (last) place in the PCL West) DEN: Jesus Carrasquillo (34-L 5-10 5.42) vs. POR: John Cox (28-L 1-4 5.31) Rookie We beat Carrasquillo in Denver, scoring 7 runs in 6.2 IP.

Not a good day today....but we will pass on comment about that. P Bobby Johnson (22-R) was activated from the DL and P Warren Robilliard (27-R) was sent back to Vancouver (A). We are in San Francisco to play the Seals a 3 game series. They won 2 of 3 here over the weekend from Sacramento. We are 4-7 against them on the season and split 4 games the last time we were here in June. They lead the PCL in scoring with 4.84 runs per game (Portland is last with 3.81). If we can beat them 148-0 today, we can pass them for the top spot! They are 5th in fewest runs allowed with 4.18 per game (Portland is still 8th with 4.42).

San Diego Padres (84-66 .560 3.5 GB in 2nd place in the PCL West) at Portland Beavers (62-88 .413 25.5 GB in 8th (last) place in the PCL West) SD: John Riley (25-R 14-10 2.17) vs. POR: Ricardo Gil (22-R 9-5 3.09) Rookie Riley is 1-0 in 3 starts against us and we only scored 3 total runs in 27 IP (1.00 ERA). He is their #1 starter. If we cannot hit a pitcher with a 5.66 ERA like Gordon yesterday, we have no chance against Riley today... Gil allowed 2 runs in 6.1 IP last time out and got a win.

C Jim Shippy has the flu... The Oakland Oaks are in Portland to play a 4 game series through the weekend. They just lost a pair of games in Sacramento, but even so, are 12-6 in September and 38-26 (.594) since the All-Star break, the 2nd best record in the PCL behind the just departed San Diego Padres. We are 5-5 against them on the season, but got swept in 3 games the last time they were in Portland at the beginning of August. They are 7th in the PCL in scoring with 4.46 runs per game (Portland is last with 3.79). The Oaks are 10th in fewest runs allowed with 4.44 per game (Portland is 8th with 4.36). Oakland Oaks (77-74 .510 11 GB in 5th place in the PCL West) at Portland Beavers (62-89 .411 26 GB in 8th (last) place in the PCL West) OAK: Cary Cornman (34-R 16-8 3.43) vs. POR: Roger Lerer (27-L 0-1 7.20) Cornman is their #1 starter. He is 1-0 in 3 starts against us, but has a 5.29 ERA in 17 IP. We hammered him the first two times we faced him, but he escaped with no decisions. He held us to 1 R on 2 H in 8 IP last time, though, beating us. Lerer did not make it through the 2nd inning in his first start back from the DL last time out and Oakland is 30-15 vs. lefties on the year. So, it looks like another depressing day for Lerer...
