Updates on Freddy Guzman, Khalil Greene, Anna Kournikova, and “boom goes the dynamite”… Guzman out for season (Padres.com). Reconstructive surgery on his right elbow wipes out the Padres #2 prospect’s season before it begins. Defensive lapses bother Bochy most (NC Times). As well they should. Also, Khalil Greene is expected back in the next 7-10 [...]

Free Tim Stauffer!
Such was the battle cry set forth by Nick in the comments to Wednesday’s In-Game Discussion. I don’t know if it’s quite time for that just yet, but I’m pretty sure it’s time to try someone other than Tim Redding. Here are Redding’s starts so far as a Padre: IP H R ER HR BB [...]

Dial “S” for Stupid
I’m too disgusted to present any cogent analysis of Tuesday night’s debacle. I’ll just say that if you can’t make basic defensive plays in the big leagues, then you’re not going to win games. Yeah, the strike zone was a bit generous in the ninth for Armando Benitez. Yeah, J.T. Snow was a one-man wrecking [...]

Woody Williams pitched another gem last night in San Francisco. That’s two real good games in a row from Williams, for those scoring at home. For those who didn’t see the game, know that he pitched even better than his line. Several hits were of the bloop variety, and his defense didn’t do him any [...]
