Killer Kowalski began to be known as a villain after hurting Yukon Eric during a match in Montreal in 1954. He visited his opponent in hospital after the match to check up on him and "the two men began laughing at how silly Eric's bandages looked. The reporter incorrectly printed that Killer was laughing at his victim and soon after, Killer quickly became wrestling's most renowned 'heel' or 'villain,'" according to the Web site. Kowalski later became famous for various moves, including a stomach vice grip called the "Killer Clutch." Kowalski retired in 1977, a year after he and Big John Studd captured the WWF World Wrestling Tag Team Championship as members of "The Executioners" team.

Missing out on the Arizona Fall League would be a downside.

Link while active, text follows: Brewers outlast Voyagers, keep playoff hopes alive By Cliff Pfenning - Helena Independent Record As confusing as the Pioneer League playoff race is, the Helena Brewers head into today's game with Great Falls knowing one key thing - they need to win. Helena kept itself in the league playoff race with a 4-3 victory over Great Falls Saturday at Kindrick Legion Field and face the Voyagers for the final time this season at 4:05 PM (5:05 Central). The Brewers got a pair of hits and two RBI from shortstop David Fonseca, a home run from third baseman John Delaney and another solid effort from pitcher Efrain Nieves to move within three games of Great Falls. Or, they moved within four games. "They guys all think we're four games back, but I think it's three," reliever Garrett Sherrill said after the game. "Whatever it is, we just need to win to make it matter. "We really need to beat Great Falls (today)." Helena (32-38) moved to within three games of Great Falls (35-35) in the overall standings, which becomes important if Billings wins the second-half title in the North Division. Billings won the first half and if it wins the second half the best overall record from the division's other three teams would qualify for the four-team playoffs. But, Great Falls (16-16) is just two games behind Billings (17-13) in the second-half standings. If Great Falls wins the division, it would automatically qualify for the playoffs. Helena (12-20) is six games behind Billings, and four behind Great Falls in the second-half race. A win today would move the Brewers just two games behind the Voyagers. Or, three games depending on the standings used. "It's been a tough season and we just need to grind out these last few games and make the playoffs," right fielder Erik Komatsu said. "The game with Great Falls is very important because we're chasing them." Nieves, a seventh-round pick in the 2007 draft, went six innings with seven strikeouts and no walks to earn his sixth win of the season. Trey Watten pitched three hitless innings for his first save of the season. The Brewers, who lost 7-0 in Missoula Friday, supported their pitchers with seven hits, including Delaney's ninth homer in the fourth inning for a 4-1 lead. Komatsu had one hit and remained in the hunt for the league batting title with a .329 average. Komatsu, a 2008 draft pick, and first baseman Brock Kjeldgaard were named to the league all-star team Saturday. "It's a really neat thing to be on an all-star team, espeically because it's my first year," Komatsu said. "But, right now we need to win games and that's what's important." The Brewers finish the season with a pair of home games with Missoula, Monday and Tuesday, and then play three games in Billings.

David Weiser's www.starsboxscore.com One more for the road Weather nice, outcome not in my one and only road trip Eddie Rodriguez's two-run home run in the 5th inning broke a 1-1 tie as the Chattanooga Lookouts handed the Huntsville Stars a 5-2 defeat Saturday night, at AT&T Field....... A rather ordinary game until you realize this was the Stars' first visit to Chattanooga since that big on-field brawl between these two teams on July 12, in which nine players ended up being ejected. Wanting to start another beanball war and precipitate a brawl the size and scope of the one seen the last time these two teams met here is the one thing you would least expect to see. After all, there's only two games left in the season after this......... Why risk another round of fines and suspensions, knowing Southern League president Don Mincher is not going to be merciful at all this time? Nothing at stake. The season's been over for both teams for quite awhile....... So, while the Stars and Lookouts traded knockdown pitches tonight, they didn't have the same effect. With one out in the 3rd inning and the Stars in front 1-0, Mike Jones decked catcher Eddie Rodriguez on a 3-1 pitch, then pitcher Travis Wood on a 1-1 delivery........ Neither pitch was a fastball, and Jones has walked more than he's struck out this year, and seldom tops 91 or 92 MPH anymore anyway, so no one was stirring, not even a mouse....... But when Wood came back in the top of the 4th and threw his first pitch at the ankles of the Stars' most dangerous clutch hitter of late, Michael Garciaparra, who happened to have homered in the 1st inning to give the Stars a 1-0 lead, it prompted home plate ump Chris Ward to issue a warning....... That was all that was needed, and the game was free from any tension, even though Wood hit Garciaparra in the wrist in the 6th inning. For me, this was all for baseball this year....... I was present for the "triple-header" at Joe Davis Stadium between the Mudcats and Stars, but with another day of two jobs to look forward to, beginning at 4 AM, I just wasn't in the mood to stick around to see Alcides Escobar break the club record for hits in a season. So with a rain check courtesy of a June 1 rainout, I filled up and took to the road for the first and only time this year....... One more for the road, and the weather was perfect. Garciaparra's home run off the center of the scoreboard in left field came on a 3-2 pitch right after Guilder Rodriguez had been thrown out trying to steal. (G. Rod had reached on a single to left, near the line.)...... Mike Jones, wilder than usual with three walks, two hit batters, and two wild pitches, held on to his thin 1-0 lead until Justin Turner scored in the 4th........ Turner drew a walk on a 3-1 pitch, went to second on Chris Valaika's single to right, then to third when Drew Anderson beat out a double play throw to first which would have ended the inning.......But Turner didn't stop there, scoring on the razzle-dazzle between Ozzie Chavez and Michael Bell. The Stars, hitting .254 in their last 12 games, could manufacture just three more hits after the first inning -- a ground-ball single by Chavez that shortstop Valaika made a sloppy attempt to field, failing to get his glove down for it, and two hits in the 9th -- back-to back hits by G. Rod to left and a liner by Garciaparra to right-center........ The game-winning homer that made Jones a loser came off the bat of Eddie Rodriguez in his next at-bat after being hit with Jones' pitch in the 3rd. The drive, on a 2-1 pitch, went over the wall in right field under the Bud Light sign, and was caught by a fan in the canopied bleacher section in right........ Eric Eymann finished Chattanooga's scoring with a two-run double to the corner in left, scoring Valaika, who walked to lead off the 6th, and Anderson, who singled. The game was preceded by a ceremony for Chattanooga native and baseball veteran Cal Ermer. AT&T Field's press box was christened the Cal Ermer Press Box...... Ermer, now 82 and a fixture at every Chattanooga game, was manager of the Minnesota Twins for two seasons (1967-68) and manager of the Lookouts from 1952-57 and won over 1,900 games as a minor league manager. Sunday, Brae Wright (6-10) will try to get his first win since June 26. Originally, it was thought to be David Welch, who will finish as the team's only ten-game winner this year....... Welch won only two of his last seven starts after getting his 9th win on July 18th. The record of 14 set by Dan Eskew in 1990 and tied by Bobby Chouinard in 1995 is safe for another season....... Welch will finish 11-4. He had a 4.42 ERA in his last nine appearances...... Going for Chattanooga will be Sam LeCure (9-7, 3.50), who has won just two of his last ten starts. The Stars will open at home next year on April 9 vs. Mobile. It will be the first time the Stars have ever opened the season against the Bay Bears...... They'll close at home on September 7 with a 1 PM game against the Jacksonville Suns. The Stars will also play the Suns at home, June 11-15........ All Sunday games next year will start at 1 PM. Boy, oh boy, I can't wait for those scorching July-August affairs....... The Stars will also be at home on July 4th of next year (which falls on a Saturday), playing host to the West Tennessee Diamond Jaxx. The Stars finished with just over 160,000 at the gate this year (160,080). They didn't quite get to last year's 164,079, but they managed to avoid the record low of 158,775, established in 2006....... The largest crowd was July 4th's 9,444. Gaby Sanchez, 7th in the league in batting, beat out Mat Gamel for the Southern League MVP award........ Gamel, who seemed so certain to break some club records this year, and was so certain to be the MVP, wound up hitting .243 for July and .205 in August, finishing his season at Huntsville with a .329 average before his promotion to Nashville on August 24. His struggle continues with the Sounds hitting .238 with one HR and three RBI there........ Four players made the post-season All-Star team from Huntsville -- Gamel, Michael Brantley (who was awarded this year's Rocky award by the Stars Booster Club), Angel Salome, who will set a new club batting record, eclipsing Mike Neill's leaegue-leading .340 of 1997, and Alcides Escobar, who set the club record for hits in a season last Wednesday. History of the Rocky Award David, who won the Booster Club's Eagle Award?

Final: Helena 4, Great Falls (White Sox) 3 Helena Site Game Summary: Brewers Hold Off Voyagers The Helena Brewers kept their playoff hopes alive Saturday night as they defeated the Great Falls Voyagers 4-3. Helena used just seven hits to outlast the second place Voyagers. The Brewers scored two runs in the first and one run in the third and fourth innings en route to the win. Great Falls tried to comeback, as they scored a run in the fourth and two runs in the sixth but couldn't quite catch Helena. Great Falls had nine hits, led by Tyler Kuhn who was 3-for-4 with a double and Kyle Shelton who went 2-for-3 with two RBI's. David Fonseca led the Brewers with a 2-for-2 effort at the plate and two RBI's. John Delaney hit his ninth home run in the fourth inning off of Voyager starter Kevin Skogley, who suffers the loss. He allowed seven hits and four runs in five complete innings of work. Efrain Nieves picks up the win for Helena, as the left-hander went six complete innings allowing nine hits but just three runs and struck out seven Voyager hitters. Trey Watten came in and shut down Great Falls for his first save of his professional career, as he went three innings and didn't allow a hit. Great Falls leads the Brewers by three games in the second half. The two teams square off again Sunday afternoon in Helena. Helena Box Score Sunday's game is Helena's last chance to gain directly on Great Falls; five more games follow next week as the Pioneer League season always extends several days past other leagues; John Delaney has shown surprising pop this season; nice mound work by Efrain Nieves and Trey Watten, as noted -- you're doing your job in a rookie league when you can get through six full as Nieves did here...

Final: Chattanooga (Reds) 5, Huntsville 2 Huntsville Site Game Summary: Wood Wings Chattanooga to Win Manuel's Labor Preserves Lookouts Victory By Brett Pollock / Huntsville Stars Eddy Rodriguez delivered the tie-breaking home run and Travis Wood worked six effective innings in Chattanooga's 5-2 victory Saturday night in the middle of the last regular season five-game set at AT&T Field. The Lookouts improved to 29-38 in the second half and 66-71 overall, while the Stars dipped to 31-37 in the half and 72-66 overall. The Stars lead the season series 13-10 and have won seven of 13 in Chattanooga. Michael Garciaparra's home run off the scoreboard in left field with two outs in the first inning opened the scoring. It was his second of the series and third of the year with all three coming in Chattanooga. The Lookouts tied the game in the home fourth when Justin Turner scored from second base on a force play at second base, as Drew Anderson beat the throw back to first base to keep the inning alive. Stars' starter Mike Jones walked Eric Eymann to begin the fifth before Rodriguez belted a 2-1 offering over the wall in right field for his second home run with the Lookouts to make it a 3-1 game. Jones had allowed only 12 home runs in his entire career before rejoining the Stars on May 19 and has given up 11 since. Jones allowed three hits, walked three and fanned three in taking the loss to finish the season at 1-6. Wood held the Stars to only an Ozzie Chavez single over his last five frames and picked up the win to end the season at 4-9. He walked two and struck out two to beat the Stars for the first time in four tries after a suffering a loss in each of his prior three starts against them. Robert Manuel retired the first six hitters he faced before Guilder Rodriguez led off the ninth inning with a single and scored on Mike Bell fielder's choice grounder. Manuel struck out a pair and earned his third save of the season. The series continues Sunday evening with left-hander Brae Wright taking the hill for the Stars against Lookouts' right-hander Sam LeCure. Coverage begins at 5:00 pm central time and can be heard locally on SportsRadio 730 WUMP and through the internet at www.huntsvillestars.com and www.730ump.com. Huntsville Box Score Stars held in check by a pitcher with an ERA over 7.00 over 17 AA starts; Cole Gillespie will be fine (hand) -- he pinch-hit here, although he did strike out; the Stars teams that qualified for the postseason over nine Brewer-affiliated seasons never seemed to be the most top prospect-laden, this one came oh-so-close in the first half...

Final: Kannapolis (White Sox) 8, West Virginia 1 West Virginia Site Game Summary: SHIREK SHUTS POWER DOWN Kannapolis right hander Charlie Shirek held the West Virginia Power to just a run on a pair of hits over seven innings on Saturday night at Appalachian Power Park as the Intimidators defeated the Power 8-1 to take the third game of the series. Kannapolis struck first with a three-run first inning and never looked back. Jorge Castillo brought in Eduardo Escobar with a sacrifice fly to give the Intimidators a 1-0 lead before Jim Gallagher's two-out double brought in the final two runs of the inning. The Power scored their only run in the bottom of the first on Steffan Wilson's RBI single. Jordan Danks ripped a solo homer in the top of the fourth inning to increase the Kannapolis lead and the Intimidators pulled away with a three-run fifth inning. Christian Marrero and Matt Inouye smacked back-to-back two-out run-scoring doubles and Escobar singled in the final run of the inning. Gordon Beckham hit a solo homer in the sixth inning to plate the final run of the game. Shirek (6-6) retired 11 batters in a row from the first inning through the fourth. He struck out eight over seven frames while allowing just a run on two hits in a winning effort. Wily Peralta (0-1) was tagged with the loss after surrendering three runs on three hits over an inning and a third. Jose Garcia and Mike Ramlow both tossed a scoreless inning of relief. The Power fell to 76-61 on the year and 44-24 in the second half with the loss. The Intimidators improved to 66-67 on the year and 35-28 in the second half with the win. Steffan Wilson has knocked in 98 runs and needs four over the next two games to tie the franchise record. He has reached safely in 17 straight games. Eric Farris singled to extend his hitting streak to seven games. West Virginia has been held to two runs on six hits over their last 16 innings. The Power will continue the five-game series against Kannapolis Sunday night. The Power will start right hander Evan Anundsen (12-7, 3.99) and the Intimidators will counter with right hander Levi Maxwell (14-5, 3.18). The first pitch is scheduled for 6:05 PM (5:05 Central). West Virginia Box Score Manager Jeff Isom will try to be creative to rest players while also maintaining some momentum -- Eric Fryer had the night off here; only so much rest you can set up with a 25-man roster; Zelous Wheeler's 60 walks help him to a .345 OBP despite a .260 average; Wily Peralta was certainly on a short pitch count as starter -- he retired four of the nine batters he faced (one was on a sacrifice fly), and was lifted with one on and one out in the 2nd...

Thanks, I heard it live as well, cool as always. That's not what we seek necessarily (that's why I added the http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif when mentioning it), but the fact that the interview, somewhat buried within the Nashville site, was brought to attention and was news-worthy makes our efforts fun and worthwhile. The overall Brewer blogosphere has just been outstanding this season (like the Crew) in providing timely previously unreported updates and original material, most of which we've linked to here, trying to credit the original source whenever possible. I just read the JS blog -- doesn't seem Tom either believes Frank Kremblas or he's chosen to ignore us again.

Final: Arizona Rangers 14, Arizona Brewers 4 Arizona Box Score A-Crew scores all four in the 8th -- seems so often this season their runs came in garbage time after getting wallopped earlier; 17-year-old Venezuelan RHP Francisco Rivero gave up two earned runs in the 9th, his first two of the season (9.2 innings); 18-year-old Dominican RHP Edwin Linares posted decent numbers in 26 innings in his debut pro season -- with the young kids, just focus on H/IP and K and BB numbers; SS Carlos George's final error total is 37 -- rock-hard infields or not, that's a big number, but hey kid, Robin Yount had a season in the bigs with 44 (of course, that was in more than just 46 games); for most of this lineup, it was a matter of whether their individual batting averages would fall above or below the Mendoza line -- many were below...

I'd like to get a sense from readers how they'd like to see pre-game interviews posted in the future. It seems to me it would be easier to go back and locate an archived audio interview of particular interest if it was grouped outside of the Daily Link Reports. I'd also like to get a sense from Link Report faithful (please post in this thread) whether thay try to listen to any, all, or none of the interviews we post here. I realize many folks peruse the Link Report while at work or may have limited time constraints, but it's our opinion you can often learn more about the kids on the farm from these interviews than you ever could from watching the box scores, and hey, we're just trying to keep everyone as informed as possible.

Despite the many links provided as of late, still behind on some of my browsing -- this one's a week old but a good read: Brew Town Beat interviews Steven Braun

2nd round RHP Seth Lintz got the start today for the A-Crew, and he's continued to underwhelm, although we'll write it off to transition to pro ball, etc., for the high schooler. But it's going to seem like a long wait until we see him again next June with Helena. Is anybody else pining for Brett Lawrie so we can feel better about all those early picks last June? 21-year-old RHP Greg Miller followed and struggled as he has all summer. Not a grand debut season for a 10th round major college selection, never making it out of the Arizona League. Lintz and Miller combined for five wild pitches to a fairly experienced catcher (Uly Snijders), an HBP and seven walks in three innings. A-Crew down 8-0 in the 4th... I wonder if catcher Shawn Zarraga is on his way with a Helena trip reward. Helena's season doesn't end until Friday.
