We are in Buffalo to play the Bombers a 4 game series and then head right back home. They lost 3 of 4 here to Memphis over the weekend. We were 6-2 against them last year when they finished 98-64, choking their way to 2nd place in the North. It was the first time we had won a season series from them. Believe it or not, they are currently 12th in scoring with 3.34 runs per game (Jacksonville is #9 with 3.74). They have been without the services of 3-time All-Star RF Ivan Moreno (33-L) so far this season, but he is currently on a rehab assignment in Erie (A) and due back any time. Hopefully, not until after this series is over. The Bombers are 4th in fewest runs allowed with 3.55, despite playing in the best hitter's park in the MLB (Jacksonville is #2 with 2.84). Their run differential is -6, 10th in the MLB, and ours is +28, now 3rd best, behind Ottawa and Richmond (both +41).
