Should we abandon our hope that Young will ever learn to work more efficiently and just accept him for what he is — a flawed, but damn good pitcher?

  1. Geoff – I placed the order on March 11th and received an shipping notice on the 13th. The Order Receipt is 2092944

  2. Man, we have a tough division. Game at a time, and here’s to solving Derek Lowe. ERA against us in 2005: 1.22, in 2006 was 1.83. Got to him in 2007 with a 5.30, but he did pitch well against us so far this year. Damn DePodesta, bringing him over.

  3. Ummm…pop tarts.

  4. Leadoff Triple!!! Can’t beat that!!

  5. Sounds like there are a lot of Padres fans at the game today too. Nice!

  6. What’s up with all the extra base hits?

  7. Are Hairston and Gonzalez allowed to go past first base like that after they hit it?

  8. 7: They changed the rules on that late in yesterday’s game :-D

  9. well there went that hard work on one swing

  10. Gonzalez, Iguchi and Kouzmanoff are among the top seven in the NL in hits.

  11. But none in the top 10 in hitting.

  12. That Furcal cat is pretty good

  13. CY is one of our best pitchers but is the most frustrating to watch

  14. I am not all that happy with edmonds ….. geeessee

  15. A DP would be nice here

  16. strikeout works too

  17. Uggh. CY getting hit hard; JE missing another over the shoulder catch.

  18. Tough start for both pitchers. Hopefully CY can work through it like Peavy did and have the offense pick him up.

  19. wicked nasty slider there

  20. Ethier has been killing CY this year..

  21. OK, this is not good.

  22. what’s up with our starters

  23. GRRRRRRRRRRR…………..

  24. Young’s fastball velocity is down 3 mph from where it usually is. That was a really terrible pitch to DeWitt.

  25. You can’t walk Jones and hope anything good will happen

  26. I hate the decision to walk Hu. Hu is not a good hitter, and having Lowe instead of Furcal possibly lead off the next inning is a big advantage. Also, Young with his control right now could end up walking Lowe.

  27. Perhaps hate was too strong. There is certainly an argument for it. I think it would have been better to go after Hu.

  28. CY is not looking good tonight.

  29. Or if you pitch to Lowe that could happen.

  30. Can they trade Edmonds for Happy Gillmore?

  31. Maybe one of our 25 long relievers should pitch in the 4th.

  32. Well there goes that game.

  33. Pads are getting thier asses kicked.

  34. geeze ,, what happened I went to take a shower and looks like the Padres pitching is heading to the shower

  35. frrkin how can you walk this guy again ….

  36. Not looking good tonight, eh? Oh well, fat lady, singing, etc.

  37. I can understand why Ledezma doesn’t like to throw strikes.

  38. Come on, guys. It’s only 11 to 1. ;-)

  39. I hope CY isnt hurt. He was throwing 85-86 yesterday. That makes his straight as an arrow no movement fastball much less deceiving. Lets hope Maddux can twirl 6 or so solid innings.
