I’m too disgusted to present any cogent analysis of Tuesday night’s debacle. I’ll just say that if you can’t make basic defensive plays in the big leagues, then you’re not going to win games. Yeah, the strike zone was a bit generous in the ninth for Armando Benitez. Yeah, J.T. Snow was a one-man wrecking crew. But none of that would’ve mattered if the Padres had just taken care of business when they had the chance. They’re playing stupid baseball. They got away with it Monday, but last night it cost them. Too bad, because Adam Eaton had his good stuff working.

Anyway, feel free to vent in the comments. Need a topic? How about the single most frustrating point of the game for you. I know, there are so many to choose from, but I’m sure you’ll find one that stands above the rest.

Other Stuff

• In response to the question of Billy Killian’s whereabouts, BA’s Kevin Goldstein dropped a note that he is in extended spring training. Makes sense. Thanks for the update, Kevin.
• All’s not Wells for Red Sox: Boomer goes on DL (ESPN). Did anybody see this coming? Gee, I sure wish the Padres had inked him to two years guaranteed.

On the bright side, at least we know where to go for a good burrito.
