7/24 Minor League Wrap-Up

Between my blog going kaput for several hours via San Francisco power outage and the Mariners gagging up two games to the Rangers while continuing to bat Washed Up Black Holes of London 3rd, I'm so bent that I'm gonna post line scores whether or not they are UP TO THE MINUTE, for you faithful readers since you've been deprived of useful benchmarks for the last couple days.  Today can bite me.

Also, recaps will be reduced to haiku form.

VENEZUELA~!  The VSLM's had the day off.  The lowly DSL Devil Rays/Reds will be their opponent tomorrow.

Dominican:  not sure what happened today against the DSL Phils: no results yet.  If we have results tomorrow, I'll post them, but I'm guessing it was suspended due to rain or something.
