I’m trying not to be too cynical and down on the owners, but it’s difficult when they keep lying to us (ESPN). Sigh.

On the field: How about Ron Gant and the Padres yesterday? They never win games like that. Great job by the bullpen to hold the Phillies in check until the offense woke up. As for Gant, he is hitting .277/.353/.530 and has been one of the unsung heroes on this ballclub.

Kevin Walker is back with the big club. Oliver Perez, as mentioned yesterday, goes to the DL.

Speaking of lefties, the Giants designated former Padre Jason Pearson for assignment. So I guess if Kevin Towers wants him back, arrangements can be made. That would make some people happy. Right, Don?
