The Other Side of Nady
We talk about Xavier Nady a lot around here. Most of the time we whine about his lack of playing time. But last week, The Fathers made a real good point in the comments about the quality (or lack thereof) of pitchers against which Nady has homered this season. Because it’s lame to present only [...]

Saturday Morning Linkfest
Things pile up in the in-box. I give them to you: Frayed Peavy: ‘I’m sick of losing’ (U-T). If he didn’t pitch so darned well, he might have better results. Ask Chan Ho Park, who seems to be the new Izzy Valdez. Also, Josh Beckett has some high praise for Peavy. Padres hope to keep [...]
