Game #160 time: 5:05 p.m. PT tv: 4SD sp: Greg Maddux (13-11, 4.10) vs Chris Capuano (5-12, 5.09) pre: Padres.com, B-R.com This talk of tiebreakers makes my head hurt. Win three and the rest will take care of itself. Here’s the plan: On offense, hit the ball toward Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder. On defense, [...]
Friday Links (28 Sep 07)
Coffee in the bloodstream, jazz in the ears, baseball on the brain. Let’s get busy… Trade winds blow true (San Diego Union-Tribune). Tom Krasovic tells us what we already know: Kevin Towers is good at that trading thing. Here’s a passage that helps confirm some things we’ve long suspected: Padres statistical analysts deserve credit, Towers [...]

IGD: Padres @ Brewers (27 Sep 07)
Game #159 time: 5:05 p.m. PT tv: 4SD sp: Jack Cassel (1-1, 4.00) vs Yovani Gallardo (9-4, 3.59) pre: Padres.com, B-R.com Is there anything you wouldn’t do to get either Prince Fielder or Ryan Braun in your lineup?

Jake the Efficient
What to say about Wednesday night’s win (box score)… Huge? Yeah, a little. Fun? You bet. Jake Peavy struck out just one batter over seven solid innings en route to his 19th win. First time since August 2003 he’s registered fewer than two strikeouts in a game. Matt and Mud speculated that maybe Peavy had [...]

Thank You, Mr. Giles
Analysis is cheap, season-saving home runs are not. Thank you, Brian Giles, for keeping our hope alive (box score). Thanks also to Joe Thatcher for getting out of a bases-loaded jam in the seventh, to Brady Clark for dropping a bloop single down the right-field line in the ninth, to Oscar Robles for drawing a [...]
