My wife and I went to Del Mar on Thursday. First time I’d been to the track in years. I studied the horses, jockeys, and trainers to the best of my limited ability and proceeded to lose every race I bet on. My wife hit a 30-1 longshot in the third race. She liked the [...]

Tuesday Links (28 Jul 07)
Because I missed our regularly scheduled Friday Links this past week and the ’69 Padres have an off-day, I thought I’d fill some space here. I’m crazy that way, so don’t try to stop me. Right, whatever. Here are some links (a lot, actually, with minimal commentary): 2007 Scouting Report by the Fans for the [...]
Friday Links (17 Aug 07)
Happy Friday, and welcome to an extra special “you did all the work” edition of our weekly link roundup. Enjoy! Meredith keeps chin up despite Year 2 struggles (North County Times). In addition to the stuff on Cla Meredith, we learn that Milton Bradley “might not be ready to start until Tuesday in New York.” [...]
Friday Links (10 Aug 07)
Before we get too crazy here, I’d just like to call my own number and let you know that a recap of my trip to Cooperstown is up at Hardball Times. To the rest of the links: Hairston example of Towers’ acumen (San Diego Union-Tribune). I can’t help but think of Maxwell Smart: KT: Hi, [...]
Friday Links (20 Jul 07)
How ’bout that Chris Young. Friday night we get to watch one of the guys he was traded for, Adam Eaton. For the record, his ERA is a tad higher than Young’s… Young helps stifle Phils with vanishing fastball (San Diego Union-Tribune). Geoff Blum scored the game’s only run Thursday night. Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels, [...]
Friday Links (13 Jul 07)
Where were we? Ah, yes, talking about baseball. Okay, then… Q&A with Khalil Greene (San Diego Union-Tribune, via Phantom in the comments). Love this quote: I want to be as good as I can be. To me, a good play in practice is just as important as in the game because you should strive to [...]
Friday Links (6 Jul 07)
Adrian Gonzalez is very much ready for the All-Star break, and so am I. Light on the links today. Enjoy… On day Padres’ Young becomes All-Star, pitcher decides to start suspension (ESPN, via Steve C in the comments). Pretty self-explanatory. Glad to see Chris Young make the All-Star team. I don’t care one whit about [...]
Friday Links (29 Jun 07)
First off, thanks to everyone for helping out yesterday with the overlooked players. This is subject to change, but right now based on your feedback, I’m leaning toward Mike Ivie, Ruppert Jones, and Brad Ausmus to go along with Ollie Brown. Onto the links! Padres tentatively acquire OF Milton Bradley (San Diego Union-Tribune). We started [...]
Friday Links (15 Jun 07)
Ah, it’s nice to win a series again. This calls for some links… Germano’s savvy outing baffles Rays (North County Times). I’m finding my skepticism of Justin Germano increasingly difficult to justify. I love this quote from Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon: Just get the Padres pitchers out of town. They can go wherever they [...]
