Ya, I forgot that the season ends so early in the minors. Is Peoria in the playoffs? And is Daytona?

No, not that I can see.

Smokies clinched at least a tie of their division last night, and already won the first half anyway. They are a really good team this year. Iowa should win their division, though they are only a half game up right now.

Smokies getting killed today, but they clinched the division anyway because Huntsville lost. They won both the first and second half titles.

Really? Lol, I'm still calling them rookie. So do they consider the AZL team "rookie ball"?

 

[Jntg4]

Here:
MLB: Chicago
AAA: Iowa
AA: Tennessee
Advanced "High" A: Daytona
"Low" A: Peoria
Short-season "Short" A: Boise
Rookie: Mesa (officially recognized name of AZL Cubs by the Arizona League, however Minor League Baseball calls them AZL, so make your pick)
Rookie: DSL Cubs1 (Boca Chica Cubs1)
Rookie: DSL Cubs2 (Boca Chica Cubs2)

Boise is kind of rookie, but not officially, like Jntg4 mentions.

Ben Wells is apparently a guy to keep an eye on. They went a little over slot with him, and he should start pitching this fall.

Here is the scoreboard to follow though. Minor League Affiliates | cubs.com: Minors

Iowa Cubs playing for their playoff lives today at 2. If they win they are in, if they lose then they are out.

Jay Jackson starts.

Actually, if they lose they are tied. Unless they don't do tiebreakers in the Minors, they'd have to go to a 1-game playoff. They are a game up on Memphis.

This. It's win or go home.

And they are losing 3-2 right now in the third.

Jay Jackson helps himself with a RBI double, the I-Cubs lead 5-3.

Jason Dubois just hit his second homer of the game, 6-3 I-Cubs now. Still bottom of the fifth.

WOO go Iowa CUBS!!!

Justin Berg thought he was still on the Cubs, and allowed three runs in the seventh. Game tied 6-6.

I hope the Cubs just keep him down there but that's not happening.
