The Hairston brothers are back together...Hillsborough completed a deal with divisional rival Vancouver to bring Jerry Hairston to the Hitmen in exchange for a draft pick. Hairston will immediately take over shortstop duties, formely held by Ryan Theriot. Upon hearing the news that brother Jerry is coming to Hillsborough Scott immediately called "top bunk". Scott has been on the bench this year, only getting into 10 games and seeing 7 at bats, but the club has plans for the young outfielder next season.
There were only two games in the DMBL yesterday. Carolina knocked off Hoboken in the first game 6-4 as newly acquired Alex Rios was 3-4 with a homer and 3 RBIs. Carlos Delgado hit two home runs in the game, unfortunately for him, they were both with the bases empty. Roy Halladay gave up all 4 runs, but they were all unearned. Shortstop Mike Aviles' two errors both led to the 4 runs.
In the other game, Braden Looper blanked the Mighty Men, pitching 7 innings of 7-hit ball, striking out 6. Looper improved to 6-3 but was rewarded by a pink slip in his locker. Looper at first thought it was a practical joke, but it was learned that he was, in fact, being replaced by David Bush. "What the f---" Looper screamed. "How the f-- can you bring a Bush onto the O-Bombers???"
