Air Supply or Suicide?
Reader Didi and I had an excellent time in Section 214 (prime foul ball territory) on Thursday afternoon… well, except for the whole losing thing. It was good to be reminded that hanging out at the ballpark and enjoying a big-league game with friends is way more fun than just whining about the team all [...]
Three Pitchers and a Former GM
I’m kinda winging it today. We’ll see what happens… This has been floating around for a few days now, but Paul DePodesta has a blog. I’ve added it to the ol’ blogroll as well as to PadreBlogs.com. One of DePo’s first posts concerns the effects of Petco Park. The entire post is well worth reading, [...]

Don’t know how we ended up with so many of these, but here they are: Padres can’t pin hitting woes on Petco (ESPN, h/t parlo). Quoth Khalil Greene: I’m not going to consistently say it, but the ballpark plays a major factor in it — more than anybody lets on at times. That’s the reality [...]
Friday Links (25 Apr 08)
I’m pressed for time this morning, so links are offered with minimal commentary (and there was much rejoicing): Alan Drooz at the U-T misses Mike Cameron (h/t PM). Clay Hensley’s first rehab start went well (h/t Field39). MB at Friar Forecast asks how we know when a player is done. Good question. Amy Nelson at [...]

Quick reminder: The Ducksnorts 2008 Baseball Annual is on sale. People tell me it doesn’t suck, so go buy a copy or three. To the links… Jake Peavy has a mysterious substance on his hand (Yahoo!, h/t Kevin) and suddenly the “national” media knows where San Diego is. Solid effort, guys. Love this quote from [...]
I, Me, Mine
No game on Thursday. Hey, the Padres can’t lose. Meanwhile, I’ve been working on a few other things: John at MadFriars asked me a few questions about the Ducksnorts 2008 Baseball Annual. I’ll also be pimping the Annual on Bases Loaded with Elliott Price. Elliott is the former long-time play-by-play voice of the Montreal Expos. [...]

Look, up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… Friday links: Tom Krasovic at the U-T provides a brief overview of “Sandyball” (h/t LynchMob) — the Padres’ organizational philosophy under CEO Sandy Alderson: The club has made a habit of acquiring major leaguers who can be free agents at season’s end, or [...]
Friday Links (28 Mar 08)
Is it my imagination, or are these weekly link roundups becoming a tad unwieldy? Would it be better to do a link post every day or two (not as a substitute for my normal daily thing, but in addition to it)? Let me know what you think… Mike Bauman at Padres.com notes that Jake Peavy [...]
Friday Links (21 Mar 08)
Reminder to folks here in San Diego: I’ll be on “SportsWrap” this Sunday evening at 11:35 p.m. PT. Tune to NBC 7/39 for your chance to see a real-live baseball dork on television. To the links… Bill Center at the U-T takes a look at roster possibilities. According to this, Glendon Rusch will be in [...]
