Wow since when has Omaha been dominating in baseball? This is very exciting and seems to have been brought upon by the new ballpark.. Which after seeing it in person is definitely worth the investment and seems to have brought attention to an area of the city that never had any attention.. also a very good thing..

It is where you are at the end that counts. Â I think if you go back to 5 or 6 game left Omaha had the lead and the same arguemnt for lossing the lead could be said for the other team.
For the record NEBUGEATER does not equal BUGEATER !!!!!!!
The Omaha Storm Chasers 7-6 comeback win over the Oklahoma City RedHawks tonight at Werner Park finished off a 3-0 American Conference Championship Series sweep and advances the Chasers to the Pacific Coast League Championship Series for a third consecutive year! The Storm Chasers will face the winner of the Pacific Conference Championship Series between the Salt Lake Bees and the Las Vegas 51s for the PCL crown.
Omaha will host Games 1 and 2 of the Pacific Coast League Championship Series, with Game 1 set for Tuesday, September 10 at 7:05 p.m. and Game 2 scheduled for Wednesday, September 11 at 7:05 p.m
Storm Chasers Game One rain delayed today, now suspended.
Royals win and are 3 games behind the Wild Card spot with less than 20 games left
Papa Hoche came in with one out in the bottom of the 7th against Cleveland, and 5 strike out later...
I would have been upset if that throw out at the plate in the bottom of the 7th decided the game against the Storm Chasers, but it sounded like it was a strong and accurate throw to get him out.
And they just won game 2 on a HR by Fletcher in the bottom of the 9th!
One win away from their second PCL Championship in three (Werner Park) seasons !!!!!!!
Also check the AL wildcard race:
Texas         81 64 .559 +2.5
Tampa BaY Â Â Â Â 78 66 .542 --
NY Yankees    78 68 .534 1.0
Cleveland     77 68 .531 1.5
Baltimore     77 68 .531 1.5

Not to look too far ahead but Durham and Pawtucket are one game apiece.
Would love to see a Omaha Storm Chasers vs Durham Bulls AAA Championship matchup!
What is that camera they are advertizing on tv - where they are at a graduation and a doofus jumps in front of their son as mom takes the pic, but she can just click something and the [expletive] is suddenly out of the picture?

There just wasn't a chance.
Salt Lake rode a two-hit shutout by Jarrett Grube and knocked out 16 hits to post a 9-0 Game 3 victory Friday night at Spring Mobile Park, cutting Omaha's lead in the best-of-5 Pacific Coast League championship series to 2-1.
Let's hope they just go all the bad play out of the way in a single game. Â Now they have two to play to win one. They can get it done. If memory serves me they were on a seven game win streak and no matter what team or level you play that is pretty darn good in baseball. Regroup and Get R Done!
