I’m not in the best frame of mind right now. Frankly, I’m disgusted with the way the Padres are playing. There’s a decent enough chance they’ll make the playoffs by default, but if they keep doing what they’re doing, they’ll get smoked pretty quickly and have a nice long winter to think about it. Anyway, [...]

Movin’ and Shakin’
What would an off-day be without a big roster shakeup? In: Clay Hensley (from Portland), Mark Loretta (from DL), Phil Nevin (from DL) Out: Miguel Asencio (DFA), Ben Johnson (to Portland) Dennys Reyes (DFA), Rudy Seanez (to DL) Hensley is pretty much the anti-Reyes, a right-hander who throws strikes. This year’s numbers (working as a [...]
Interview: Troy Johnson
Troy Johnson is, among many other things, the host of Channel 4 San Diego’s Outta Left Field, which airs before each Padres night home game Monday through Saturday.

Short Attention Span
Not a real inspiring start to the second half, eh? Brian Lawrence plunks three batters, and the Pads just can’t anything going against Javier Vazquez. On the bright side, X played. So did X. Unfortunately, I didn’t stick around downtown long enough to see either of them in action. Nady entered the game in the [...]
