The Padres weren’t able to do anything against Aaron Cook at Coors Field on Sunday. Here’s hoping they’ll have a little more success against an even tougher sinkerballer, Brandon Webb. The Friars need to start winning games against teams in the division other than the Dodgers. And it has to start now, in Arizona.
Go Padres!
Branyan starts the rally!
If anyone actually believed that BS Towers was spouting on the radio about FAs and trades they’re more naive than a Bush supporter.
Heh it did have a familiar sound to it. Perhaps Zito will join the big name 3rd baseman we picked up at the trade deadline. We should start a pool to guess the opening day payroll.
Knott (#29) and Sledge (#23) do the HR-thing for Portland tonight … http://tinyurl.com/s5rey … September roster expansion, here we come!
Matt Buschmann gets a promotion from Eugene to Lake Elsinore … nice Hi-A debut so far … http://tinyurl.com/ocb9j … PeterF, can you give us a scouting report on this guy in tonights PadresRunDown?
Nice to see Chase Headley and Nick Hundley finishing strong there!
So just who was bad-mouthing picking up this guy?
Oh, yeah, that was me talking to a friend the other day.
Hmmm … Branyan with 2 HRs … did anyone watching the game notice? Woulda help’d if they weren’t solo shots, I s’pose … ‘night all …
2 HR and 2 K in 6 PA for Branyan. Where’re the walks?
Also, with his performance tonight, Branyan passed Castilla in Runs Above Replacement as a Padre. He’s ahead by .05 runs. Only took 263 fewer plate appearances.
Allright, are we rooting for the Dodgers or Reds? I think I’m going for the Reds, just out of habit. Definitely rooting for extra innings though.
Yeah but Castilla had veteran leadership.
