Hey, I Can See First Place from Here
Fun win Tuesday night (box score). They’re all fun, though, aren’t they? Justin Germano wasn’t brilliant, but he didn’t have to be because the offense came through against defending Cy Young award winner Brandon Webb. Geoff at Ballhype Elsewhere in reality, I’ve started writing for Ballhype. My first article — “Barry Zito Is the New [...]

Right, whatever. Here are some links (a lot, actually, with minimal commentary): 2007 Scouting Report by the Fans for the [...]

How the (NL) West Will Be Won
Fun weekend in Philadelphia. Fun road trip. Four out of six against two playoff contenders back east? Works for me. Now the boys return to Petco for a huge four-game series against Arizona. We can whine about the fact that the Diamondbacks are outperforming their Pythagorean record by 12 games or we can acknowledge the [...]
1969: Padres Lose Sixth Straight
August 27, 1969, San Diego: Mets 4, Padres 1 (box score) There’s domination, and then there’s DOMINATION. This game qualified as the latter.
