    After 1 …

    Pitches-strikes – R Wolf 14-10; T Wellemeyer 18-9.

    Ground balls-fly balls – R Wolf 1-2; T Wellemeyer 1-2.

    Batters faced – R Wolf 5; T Wellemeyer 6.

    … Wolf gives up 2 singles, but gets out of it … Padres up 2-0 on an error and SF in top of 1st.

    #100@LynchMob: I am guessing that G.Y thought today’s game was a night game. No biggie–lets get a win today before the Pads start attracting some embarrassing nationwide media attention. Is this team really a 100 loss team ? I say no.

    Egon is making it awfully difficult to not include him in future plans !

    #105@JP: Antonelli isn’t exactly forcing the issue.

    #101@LynchMob: Lynch with his 3rd blown save of the young AZL season … sigh … playin’ pro ball ain’t easy, I s’pose …

    Thru 4 …

    Pitches-strikes – R Wolf 57-37; T Wellemeyer 56-31.

    Ground balls-fly balls – R Wolf 6-4; T Wellemeyer 7-5.

    Batters faced – R Wolf 16; T Wellemeyer 19.

    … I’m guessing there’s scouts in attendance … and I’m hoping they like what they are seeing from Wolf …

    I went to take a shower leading 5-0 and come back and it’s tied??? WTF?

    I’ve been meaning to say that I’d be up for having Chase hit higher in the batting order … the easiest way to do that would be to flip him with KK … I’d just like to see him hit in the 3 or 4 or 5 spot … and that top of 7th is an example of when I think it would have been good …

    It’s pretty clear the Padres are shooting for the worst record in baseball — why else would Luis Rodriguez be up in a crucial late game situation for the 2nd time in 3 games?

    with Edgar hitting the way he is, what are they going to do when Iguchi comes back?

    I was hoping if I went away when the Padres loaded the bases, good things might happen. Instead, Larussa’s going to start making me believe in the whole match-up strategy – he uses four pitchers in one inning, two of whom get no outs, and still the Padres can’t score.

    #116@Johnny Utah: Hope he does well enough in a rehab assignment to generate enough interest to trade him?

    On the bright side, the only way we can be worse than the ’62 Mets is to go 3-61. The ’03 Tigers would take a 4-60 finish. I don’t think even this team is that bad.

    If I was down in SD now, I think I’d go to the beach …

    #120@Sean Callahan: Isn’t that amazing. As awful as the Padres have been they’ve still be way better then the Mets or Tigers. I could barely watch the Padre game today (how many more blown leads and runners left on 3rd with less then 2 outs do I have to watch?) — it must have been damn near impossible to watch the Tigers.

    I was at the beach today!! But it was overcast and windy. I can’t win — just like the Pads.

    #125@Oside Jon: Doesn’t that just mean that the surf is a bit better and you don’t have to worry about getting burned?

    This date in Padres history: July 19

    1982: Outfielder Tony Gwynn makes his Major League debut and collects two hits against the Philadelphia Phillies.

    … ya, that was a good day!

    #127@LynchMob: Cionfrone keeps up his hot hitting at Portland. What may get Ciofrone a shot at the majors is the fact that he can play 4 or 5 positions.

    In light of the losing that my Padres are doing their best to keep alive, I had to read something else.

    Joe Poz delivers the good:

    a heck of a writing about a heck of a player. Enjoy.

    #134@LynchMob: “Jack-Anulty” – classic!

    #135@Didi: #137@Kevin: Thanks for the links … both very good reads! Musial is not underrated by me … having been to many games in St Louis in the 70s and hearing stories of him from an uncle … my favorite Musial story is that Nate Colbert was at the DH where Musial hit 5 HRs …

    #138@Masticore317: I got that term from somebody else here … it is a goodie … I caught the last couple of innings of last night’s game on TV and McAnulty rifled a line drive to the LF wall that the LFer made a good running catch on … also saw Antonelli smoke a line drive that the 3B-man made a good diving catch on and the TV announcer said that that was the 2nd time that game that that had happened … so both of those guys are swinging well …
