What the heck was that? Between the draft and Thursday night’s comeback (recap | boxscore), I hardly know where to start. Lots o’ links today. Disclaimer: I hate to do this, but with the general craziness of the past few days, I haven’t read all of these in their entirety yet, ergo the lack of [...]

Friday Links (1 Jun 07)
I can’t even begin to tell you how glad I am the Padres came back to win Thursday night. I’m not sure how much enthusiasm I could’ve faked if they’d lost to Shawn Chacon. Nice to see Khalil Greene render the umpires’ confusion regarding Josh Bard‘s 11th inning “double” irrelevant by driving home pinch-runner Rob [...]

Tough loss on Thursday (recap | boxscore), but in light of Wednesday’s gift, I can’t complain too much. Besides, the Padres won another series and it’s hard not to like that. To the links… Greene’s play just a reaction (Padres.com). Coaches and teammates gush over Khalil Greene‘s spectacular spinning play on Tuesday night to rob [...]

I hope everyone is enjoying the book so far (and spreading the word!). I continue to receive positive feedback, so I take that as a good sign. I’m now sketching ideas for the 2008 Annual; if you have any suggestions, feel free to leave a note in the comments or drop me a line. Meanwhile, [...]

Before we get to all the good stuff everyone else is doing, I have to call my own number and let you know about my latest article at The Hardball Times, in which we discover that Adrian Gonzalez is real good. Yeah, you and I already knew that, but the rest of the world needs [...]
Friday Links (4 May 07)
Welcome to the end of the week. Here are your links: Mailbag: Are the Giles brothers content? (Padres.com). Corey Brock answers more mail. From Corey’s response to the question about Kevin Kouzmanoff: I never watched Kouzmanoff hit in the Minor Leagues but his track record (a career .332 hitter) with a big enough sample size [...]
Friday Links (27 Apr 07)
That was a frustrating series in Phoenix. After losing a heartbreaker on Wednesday, there didn’t seem to be a lot of energy Thursday night (recap | box score). Other than the Adrian Gonzalez three-run homer in the first, the Padres looked completely flat against Livan Hernandez and the Diamondbacks. Oh well, today’s another day. In [...]
Friday Links (20 Apr 07)
I woke up this morning with the Beatles’ “Long, Long, Long” in my head. Very strange tune to have in my head, considering I haven’t heard it in years. Anyway, you’re here for the links so let’s get right to them: Former No. 1 pick Gonzalez finally finds home in San Diego (Press-Enterprise). Mostly fluffy [...]
Friday Links (13 Apr 07)
Plenty to cover today. Let’s get right to it: Too Much Information (Baseball Prospectus). Joe Sheehan likes the Chris Young signing and has kind words for the young right-hander: I compared Young to Mike Mussina on the air in Indianapolis the other day, and I still like that comp. Both are smart pitchers from top-tier [...]
Padres Take Second Straight Series, Face Giants Next
The Padres returned to their winning ways on Sunday, beating the Colorado Rockies, 2-1, in 10 innings. Jake Peavy held the visitors mostly in check for seven of those innings while waiting for the offense to break through against Aaron Cook, whose nasty sinker baffled the Padres for most of the afternoon. With two out [...]
