No room because we have Termel Sledge. Please. I heard John Kentera say on his radio show saying that Cust was a journeyman who the Pads simply do not have room for. Cust is younger than the journeymen Cruz and Sledge and has way more upside. No room for Cust ? No room because we have Termel Sledge. Please.

Still pissed about the Atlanta series. Teams in NL I dislike the most: SF, STL & ATL. SF mainly because I live here and have to deal with their fans when I go to games, and, of course, Barry. But what really pissed me off was them going 13-6 against us despite us out hitting them over those 19 games (our OPS against was higher than their OPS against). We hit horribly with men on base vs. them (unlucky) and vice versa for them (lucky). So, in this ATL series, the batting lines for the series: SDG: 220/276/371/647 ATL: 197/274/287/561 So we had an 086 OPS edge for the series, but still dropped it 1-3. All those "clutch" Atlanta hits drove me crazy. Atlanta is currently 3.5 games over their third order wins, behind only the Brewers and Tigers in all baseball; I am sure hoping for that to erode and them slide back to earth. 5: can’t win them all, but I share the bafflement that he could not even get a decent shot, ever.

Cameron has not allowed a run in 16 1/3 scoreless innings. It is the longest scoreless innings streak ever by a Padres pitcher to begin his career (the old mark, 16 innings, was set by Jeremy Fikac in 2001). ... I can't say as I remember Fikac doing this ... let's hope KCamy has more of an impact ... Here’s a note from an article I just read …
