The Baltimore Orioles had enough of shyster Rudy Guilliani and shipped the minor league catcher to the lowly San Jose Skeeters today. The Orioles obtain CF Vic Power and CF Hub Northen from San Jose. Orioles GM Nick Stumpf said that for such a marginal power he was way too controversial.

Speaking of controversial, Lubbock Brigands pitcher Bill "Bubba" Clinton is quietly having a breakout year and today he blanked the Kansas City Royals on the road at Kauffman Stadium on just 2 hits.

Johnson has 33 homers and 83 RBI's this year with a .320 average and is a .324 lifetime hitter. The Royals are ten games out in the AL Midwest and land Jones who is 8-4 with a 2.38 ERA.

The 11th no hitter of the 2027 season has been tossed by David Palmer of the Billings Beacons as they triumphed over the Hartford Rocketmen on the road at Aetna Stadium. Palmer fanned 14 batters in the game and walked 3 to get the big no hitter. (Much like real life Palmer is not a great pitcher at 3-9 this year, but he threw a no hitter in the 1980's for the Expos).

Ken Landreaux had 2 hits and an RBI to carry the offense for Billings Harry Steinfeldt (not an accountant) walked twice for Hartford and said this "I kept telling my teammates to lay off the junk pitches and they kept swinging and missing, every dog has their day.

Billing is not a great winning franchise but this is their 2nd no hitter of all time as Al Pratt tossed one in 2026 against the Aruba Jackrabbits. It was the 2nd time Hartford fell victim to a no hitter as Frank Smith fired one against them for the Atlanta Braves back in 2021.

Ty Cobb went to Pied Piper the ownership company of San Jose and demanded the heads of the GM and Manager after the trade for the controversial Rudy Guiliani. Ownership decided to fire the GM Nate Proctor and Manager Roman Faulkner. Given the odd situation there, no one wanted the job so they found two guys in the mail room and made them GM and Manager. Jose Tena from Jackson, MI was pulled out of the tech department to be the new general manager and their manager becomes Gregg Clark who is a Centennial, Colorado man who really just works in the mail room.
