The Toronto Blue Jays today announced that they have recalled outfielder Anthony Gose from the Buffalo Bisons. To make room, RHP Mickey Storey has been optioned to Buffalo.


 
Gose has played in a team-high 40 games for the Bisons this year and has hit .227 (35-154) with five doubles, two triples, two home runs and 12 RBI. His 36 runs scored are six more than any player in the International League and he has five stolen bases in nine attempts. One of those stolen bases was a straight steal of home on May 7 against the Norfolk Tides.

Individual golfers, foursomes and sponsors are still being sought for the annual “Come Get Some” golf outing to benefit the Hospice Foundation. The event will take place on Friday, July 12, at Chestnut Hill Country Club, 1330 Broadway, Darien Center.

 

Registration for the event is just $80 and includes lunch, a steak dinner, beverages and 18 holes of scramble-format golf. Tickets for dinner only are available for just $40. Golfers of all skill levels are welcomed.

The Buffalo Bisons defeated the Syracuse Chiefs by a 27-9 score on Thursday afternoon from NBT Bank Stadium in Syracuse. Here is a list of the team record that fell as part of the victory.

The Sabres alumni will be taking on a Colvin Cleaners team made up of employees of the company and Western New York hockey players who made a charitable donation to participate. Proceeds from the game will benefit Paradise House, a transitional living program for women in Buffalo.

 

The rain may have washed today's Buffalo Bisons game off the schedule, but it didn't stop the team from making some news. 

The Toronto Blue Jays today announced that they have signed RHP Miguel Batista to a minor league contract. Batista will join the Bisons pitching staff in the next couple of days.

It's sunny and 43 degrees as the Buffalo Bisons are taking on the Rochester Red Wings on Opening Day in Buffalo! Here's Buffalo's starting lineup: Jim Negrych, 2B; Anthony Gose, CF; Moises Sierra, RF; Luis Jimenez, 1B; Andy LaRoche, 3B; Josh Thole, C; Ryan Langerhans, LF; Eugenio Velez, DH; Ryan Goins, SS.

 The (12-18) Canisius women’s team played their first game Thursday vs (2-28) Saint Peter’s in the MAAC tournament at Springfield, MA. They won 79-58. Canisius shot a season best 51 percent from the floor and made 11 3 pointers. When Canisius is making their 3’s at 58% and holding the opposition to 37% FG from the field and 35% from three, there is no team, not even Marist who can beat them. Guard Ashley Durham led the Griffs with 15 points and forward Jen Lenox had 10 points. With the win the Lady Griffs moved onto Fridays game vs Iona.

 The Buffalo Bisons, Triple-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, will hold their annual open house from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 9, at Coca-Cola Field.

 As Terry Zeh has done many times in his illustrious nine year coaching the women’s team at Canisius College, he had his girls really prepared and on their A game to bounce back after losing their last 4 contest today. In the latest edition of the Play4Kay series the lady Griffs defeated the Loyola Greyhounds 48-39 at the Koessler Athletic Center this afternoon. Canisius’s defense was stifling all afternoon long as they held the Greyhounds to 24% shooting from the floor for the game and 11% from 3. The Greyhounds only had 2 double digit scores for the game.

The name Caleb Campbell may ring a bell. Just a few short years ago, he was at the center of a national news story — a talented college football player at West Point whose dream of playing in the NFL was delayed due to his military commitment.

 

  When the lockout ended, Adam Pardy helped the Amerks ease the pain of losing top defenseman T.J. Brennan and Joe Finley. During a five game winning streak, the 28 year-old veteran defenseman continually got the puck out and helped steady things in front of goalie David Leggio. The Sabres noticed and now he’s back in Buffalo.  This time there is no replacement,  but that’s life in the AHL.

The end of December saw some significant snow accumulations throughout Western New York. So, are you feeling some aches and pains associated with shoveling snow or pushing your snowblower?

 

Generally speaking, it is beneficial to use the R-I-C-E strategy — Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation — after suffering an injury such as spraining your ankle or wrenching your back, according to physical therapists Anthony Goode and Jeff Kirchmyer, co-owners of ProActive Sports Rehab in Hamburg and Orchard Park.

 

If we’re talking boats and fishing, it must be a sure sign that spring is right around the corner. Well, maybe not right around the first corner, but you get the idea!
