I went to the game on monday in Denver. EGon’s homer in the first went a mile high. I did not think it was going to be close, but it just kept sailing. The Pads could have had more runs! Rox pitching was ridiculous. After the game, I shook Kouz’s hand and congratulated him on a good game. He was out talking to fans at the end of a game late last year, too. Maybe because it is his “home town.” Good guy.

#78@LynchMob: Germano looked like Germano. The Huber home run was an absolute bomb. I thought he got under it too much, but the ball just kept carrying and went out to deep left-center. Dude is some kind of strong. Lots of pix, but no time to post. Another long drive today, Emeralds tonight...

108: Why would it? A team won't pick a draftee that high without intention to sign him. I just wish the Padres had made the necessary legwork that would have uncovered Dykstra's hip condition.

#108@Field39: Especially in a weak draft. If that had this rule in 2004, nearly every team would have been better off passing on their pick until the 2005 Draft. You probably don't want to do it if you are in the top 4 or 5 picks but it might make sense lower down in the draft.

From AP: Padres RHP Chris Young hand surgery Monday to correct a deviated septum and repair his nasal fracture. Young suffered a nasal fracture and laceration when he was hit with a line drive off the bat of St. Louis' Albert Pujols on May 21. ... Padres manager Bud Black celebrated his 51st birthday Monday.

#105@Schlom: It is odd, there is nothing in the system that forces anyone to negotiate in good faith. You can take someone off the board with no intent of signing them and you get your pick back.
