In the 8th game of the season, the Bombers take on the White Sox and Ronny Dobbs continues his insane pitching as the home team routs the Sox in a 10-0 shut-out. The Bombers are now at 7-1 for the year and gunning for locking a playoff spot. Also, we have further improved the in-game audio quality! (NOTE: we STILL don't have a broken window in hi-def stereo yet, but trust me, it will come... ;) ) Anyway, enjoy! :D

The Bombers closed out their 4-game road trip and first half of the regular season with an absolute blowout victory at the Royals. Pablo Sanchez sets a new team record for RBIs in a game (9) and Amir Khan goes 4 2/3 innings to pick up the win. Now with even better audio quality (and more improvements to come soon, too. :) ). Enjoy!

It's another showdown between the Bombers and Devil Rays as Ronny Dobbs pitches a gem and strikes out plenty in a pitcher's duel. Pablo Sanchez (who else?) delivers the only run of the game in the 1st and the Bombers hold on for the 1-0 win and improve to 5-1 on the season. Also, we have improved audio quality now, so things should sound much better. Anyway, enjoy! :D

In a rematch from the second game of the season, the Bombers and Blue Jays tangle for the top spot in the A.L. East as the Bombers look to exact revenge on red-hot Jay Green and the Jays on the road. Things looked good until the final frame, when Jay Green and Co. came through again, tying the game with a four-spot in the bottom of the 6th and sent the game to extras. Pablo Sanchez hit his second home run of the game in the top of the 7th and the Bombers squeaked out a close win to claim first place outright in the standings. Enjoy!

In the fourth game of the year, the Bombers break out the RBIs like crazy as Pablo Sanchez leads the way with a legit over-the-building home run at Tin Can Alley and hits for the cycle in a rout of the Orioles on the road. They keep pace with the Blue Jays for first place in the A.L. East standings. Stay tuned for more!

It was a spirited pitcher's duel between Amir Khan and Stan Olafson as the Bombers had a nail-biter of a contest with the Devil Rays at home. "Small ball" proved to be the difference in the game as the Bombers eventually pulled off the walk-off winner in extra innings to remain in a tie for the top spot in the A.L. East standings.
