Howard, Hitchcock, and Sleep

Thu, Jul 5, 2001Ballhype: hype it up!
by Geoff Young

Hope you all had a good 4th. I know I did!

  • Full report in the next day or two, but the Elsinore-High Desert game was a classic. Ben Howard was dominant again.
  • Ryan Klesko and Phil Nevin were named to the All-Star team. I really didn’t expect the Padres to have two representatives there. Congrats, guys.
  • How about that Sterling Hitchcock! First big-league game in 14 months and he allows only three runs on five hits and no walks over seven innings, with five strikeouts. Man, I’m gonna miss him.

Okay, I really need to get some sleep. I’ll have a more complete report on the game (including why there are no pictures) by Saturday…

Picking up where last year's version left off, the Ducksnorts 2008 Baseball Annual provides in-depth analysis of and commentary on the San Diego Padres. Get your copy today.
