Thanks, Chad; I had a great visit. Sorry we couldn’t hook up this trip — things were a bit hectic, to say the least. As you say, next time…

Geoff-
Hope you had a good visit to Fort Wayne. Wish I had known you’d been in town so we could have met up at the Castle. Maybe next time

Tied for the Wild Card with the fighting Phils in mid August. Is this not a recipe for some fun down the stretch ?

Just back from the game. Tough loss. We had some opportunities, but couldn’t cash in on them. Berkman’s catch of Blum’s sinking liner in the third cost us at least one run, and Wigginton made several fine plays over at the hot corner.

This one could have gone either way. Oh well, tomorrow is another day…

McAnulty is healthy again and swinging well at AAA. Why not give him a shot ? He is five years younger than "Crudge" so at least we are building (or finding out) about/ the future if we play PMac.

Please no more Termel Sledge. I think it was worth a try for the Pads to give him three or four starts in a row to see if he could finally show some of his potentia -but I think we now know all that we need to about this guy. Until Bradley gets back, the Pads would be better off putting Machowiak in left field from here on in.

5 games out and tied for the WC. Its clear we can’t win the NL West this year, we just don’t have the hitting. Winning the WC is possble, but is the piont. We can’t hit, so we’d lose in the first round. AZ refused to lose, has pitching and can hit. Prediction: Az and Bos in the WS. The only question is how to retool the team for next year. Clearly pitching and D can win the NL west when its down, but when its competitive, you need at least a little-leagues worth of offense. We don’t have that. Blame Petco certaiinly as these guys would probably be decent in other parks. Maybe we need the opposite of the humidifier. Chargers looked pretty good so I guess its football season.

Some "getting jiggy with it" reference.
