Before I launch into the "Welcome Brian Giles" portion of this entry, I’d just like to say that I’m sorry to see Ollie Perez and Rondell White go. In my excitement about picking up Giles, I’m not sure I made that clear. I’ve been following Perez for a long time, and I think he’s got [...]
Holy superstars, Batman, Brian Giles is a Padre. I’m so excited I’m even using my crappy old Windows 98 laptop to write this. Where to begin? I’ll just start spewing random thoughts as they occur to me, so if this entry is more incoherent than most (how can you tell?), I trust you’ll understand.
The Padres [...]
Real quick today. First off, one of the band of Jeffs pointed out to me that Trevor Hoffman will rejoin the Padres against the Diamondbacks in San Diego. Thanks for the correction, dude.
I didn’t see last night’s game, just heard a little of it in the car. I can only guess how Jake Peavy looked; [...]
Lots to cover, so let’s jump right in.
Ugly game Sunday against the Expos. I don’t know if a catcher can have much of a worse inning than Miguel Ojeda had in the fifth inning. Passed ball, two stolen bases, two errors. The low point came with Jamey Carroll on second and Vlad Guerrero at the [...]
As expected, I busted a string this weekend. I usually change strings before a gig, but since we only played one night last weekend (and for just three hours instead of the usual four), I figured I could get away with keeping the old ones on a bit longer. Sure enough, midway through the second [...]
Some of the links from Wednesday’s post got screwed up. The Larry Flynt and ESPN links have been fixed. I’m exhausted, I’m in a foul mood, my arms still hurt like hell, and I’ve got gigs this weekend. I wouldn’t want to be a string on my guitar right about now.
As a cop who once [...]
Long couple of days at work. Arms hurt like hell, so we’ll keep it short and sweet.
Fourteen runs on 24 hits? Where did that come from, and where do we get some more? Best moment was watching Gary Matthews Jr.’s uncle (a camera operator for TBS) cheering when his nephew hit a homer in the [...]
As a native Southern Californian (I call myself that even though I was born in Boston; I’ve lived here since before I turned two, and both my parents spent many of their formative years in the greater Los Angeles area), I’ve come to accept a few things. I don’t necessarily like them, but for the [...]
Wife: What’s that noise?
Me: What noise?
Wife: That one.
Me: Sounds like it’s coming from over there. Some guy is doing something.
Wife: I hear it every day.
Me: I guess he does it every day.
Wife: Okay, Mr.-Don’t-Care-to-Know-It-All.
Thus a monicker is born.
. . .
So Kevin Towers and the Padres did nothing. Kevin Jarvis, Mark Loretta, and Rondell White remain [...]
