The article highlights the recent performances of local sports teams, noting the Celtics' victory and the Red Sox's loss. The WooSox reportedly performed well, particularly with Brian Van Belle's six-inning outing and contributions from players like Vaughn Grissom and Marcelo Mayer. The piece emphasizes the need to consider promoting top prospects due to the Major League team's struggles, especially in late-game situations. However, rainouts also plagued the Portland team, leading to concerns about game scheduling and player development.
It's time to start doing roster gymnastics to get at least one of the heralded two prospects up, given the way the Major League team is playing in late innings now.

Both Anthony and Mayer contributed in that fateful inning, making a reliever with several years of Major League experience a non-factor.
