The Biscuits Buttery Buzzsaw, Worth Noticing

This year Montgomery's Biscuits have just about faced them all down.

The Biscuits have dispatched every opponent in the league, winning series after series, proving their dominance to everyone, with just one objective remaining for Mo's squad.

JIM FRALEY got everyone chick-fil-a

This club has been setting the league on fire, having already won the first half and now leading the division to start the month of August, in what has been an historic season for Montgomery.

About the only thing left is for these guys to look at themselves in the mirror and know that a champion is staring back at them.

Vidal Brujan is just waitin it out

Zombro breaks the news to O'Brien

ZOMBRO ON THE MOVE
Zombro the Great has made his final appearance in Montgomery, presumably for good. The mound magus folded the tent and headed to Durham quietly last week, under cover of night.
Fans in Montgomery will always recall him fondly.

NO WORD
Nothing yet on a team photo. With all the roster changes, it seems pretty late to take a picture of guys who haven't been here all year.


TENEROWICZ RARE FEAT

Robbie Tenerowicz

Robbie Tenerowicz managed an unusual accomplishment, making two trips to the Injured List at the same time. An undisclosed injury has him back in Florida to be checked out, but it made for some interesting reading to those of us who frequent the league page when he was added to the IL a second time without being activated!



THOSE GUYS ARE GOOD
You could field a team with all the ex-Biscuits who changed addresses over the past two weeks. AllStars like Jesus Sanchez, Joe McCarthy, Jacob Faria, Ryne Stanek, Adam Kolarek and many more were moved or shifted to new clubs around the trade deadline.

WORTH NOTICING

Josh Fleming throwing a "Maddux"

Now that there has been a wave of changes to the Biscuits roster, its a chance to see the guys who have been under the radar garner their own accolades.

Josh Fleming tossed a couple complete game shutouts and won a league award, Josh Lowe fills the cleanup spot uncontested and Brett Sullivan gets back into games behind the dish.

Taylor Walls and Vidal Brujan have made fans forget Lucius Fox led the league in swipes, plus the pitching rotation is rounded out nicely with Rosenberg and Paul Campbell on the bump.

Life is pretty good for Biscuits fans this summer!

Vidal Brujan is smilin about it!

PING PONG IS OUT
A while back I asked a few of the players who was the best ping pong player and got blank looks in return. I inquired if there still was a ping pong table in the clubhouse and was told it was there but there weren't any ping pong balls to play with, "Ping pong table is now known as just 'Table' and we eat lunch on it sometimes."

"Grey Sox Walloped Atlanta's Crackers -
Local Negro Team Wins Pretty Ball Game Sunday 2 to 1; Mason Hurls Good Ball -

With the best balanced team that the Grey Sox have ever had on the local diamond, and playing a good jam up game behind Mason, the local aggregation won the game from Atlanta yesterday afternoon at South Side park by the small score of two to one. The pitchers engaged in a pretty battle and both teams played excellent ball. It was one of the best games that the fans have been treated to this season and quite a large number were present.

Hub McGavock

The locals scored the first run in the third inning when Carpenter hit safe and was advanced to third on McGavock's single and scored on a balk by Hamilton. The second score came in the seventh frame, when McCormick stepped into one for three bases and scored on a wild throw to third by Hamilton.

The Black Crackers threatened to score in the fourth but Mason buckled down to the task before him and with three men on bases and no outs he retired the side scoreless. Their only run came in the eighth and was made wholly on account of errors.

Two of the Grey Sox players who have been absent from the line-up for some time were back in the game yesterday. Wesley, better known to the fans as "Two-Sides" was at his old position at second base and Bob McCormick was holding down third. Both played the game as though they had never been absent and it was McCormick's three bagger that gave his team the run that won the game. The two teams left early this morning for Atlanta, where they will play three games."
