    I think this is about the first time in a week that this report does not show Rutledge and/or Arendo doing something good. Nice outing by Bergman. As bad as AAA has been this year (and really folks most of the games I have been to were not exactly great baseball) AA and below sounds like it has been good baseball.

    Go Dust Devils!
