#88: Interesting…

#92: On the bright side, he finally came clean about his anti-Padre bias.

95: Wow, that’s some tough critics you got in Boston.

93: Sounds like Headley will be a decent major leaguer. Unless, the organization doesn’t like the lack of power. Still, if he makes it, I’m happy. A better hitting version of Sean Burrough is most welcome.

94: I dislike Keith Law mostly because he comes across the way I'm occasionally afraid that I do. Also, I disagree with him on a handful of things.

At least John Donovan has our back…
“I heard it again Thursday night, this time on the Brewers’ broadcast, and it’s driving me batty; “The Padres are a terrible hitting team.” Again, guys, look a little deeper. The Padres’ scoring numbers are lousy. But that’s because they play half their games in Petco Park. Away from San Diego, they score more than five runs a game, fourth in the league. The Brewers, of course, found that out when the Padres put up a nine-spot. Pretty good for a team that can’t hit and didn’t get into Milwaukee until 6 in the morning”

I’m no longer allowed to wear my Vintage Friar Logo Padres t-shirt to work.

Today a kindergartener looked at it, pointed at the bat, said “You have a pee-pee on your dress”, and went in the corner and cried.

93: That’s exactly it. Few of us do disagree substantially with Law about Headley’s upside. Certainly not me, and I got into it the most with him.

What aggravated most people about Law was his pat, unconsidered dismissal of:

1. Antonelli’s power increase this year.
2. The quality of the Padre pitching staff.
