It’s the end of the week, I’m running on fumes. Bullet points to the rescue…

• ‘Svelte’ Wells shows up on Padres’ doorstep (NC Times). Wells looks good and is saying all the right things. Mention also is made of Adam Eaton, who reportedly has avoided arbitration by signing a 2-year deal worth $5.25M. In addition, the Pads are talking to San Diego native Mark McLemore. No word on the availability of Brady Anderson.
• A 50-to-1 shot Aaron Gleeman gives the Padres a little love. He also has an extended segment on his trip to Vegas. It is interesting to see that town through the eyes of someone who hasn’t experienced it over and over again. This line is classic:
  

  The downtown area contains about 95% of the same stuff that the strip has, but it somehow loses every aspect of what makes Las Vegas special.

  I don’t really know where to begin with that one, so I’ll just let it stand on its own. Downtown, of course, is the best place to be in Vegas, but that’s just me. And the sports book at the Golden Nugget rocks, no matter what Aaron says.

Local College Baseball Schedules

The Aztecs play their annual alumni game tonight at Tony Gwynn Stadium. I’ll have a report on Monday. Here are the full schedules for those interested:

• SDSU — Tony Gwynn’s alma mater
• USD — My alma mater
• UCSD — My wife did grad school here; we don’t like to talk about it
• PLNU — I have never been to a game here, but that will change this year.

This also gives me the chance to plug a cool site. If you haven’t been there before, San Diego Baseball.com is the place to go for coverage of local collegiate baseball.

Well, I’ve been sitting here for a good half-hour trying to come up with something else interesting to say or link to, but I don’t think it’s going to happen. I can’t even come up with a good joke to tell you.

Or a bad one…
