I tried to watch some of the USD – Long Beach State game on Sunday at Cunningham Stadium, but it was brutal. These kids haven’t been playing for some time, and it showed. I’ve never seen so many walks and wild pitches. To the winter leagues… Friday, November 2 Saguaros 11, Javelinas 5 (box | [...]

Friday Links (7 Sep 07)
Thanks for all the kind words on Thursday. I try not to get too sentimental around here, but sometimes I just can’t help myself. That reminds me, as promised, I’ve got an article on the ’93 Fire Sale up at Hardball Times. Those of you who suffered through Tom Werner’s dismantling of the team might [...]

Padres/Phillies Preview
Was that an insane series in New York or what? Thank goodness the Padres hung on to win on Thursday night (box score). Taking two out of three against the Mets in their home park is a pretty slick trick, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. We’ll postpone the weekly link roundup [...]
Peavy Ties Benes, Bullpen (Barely) Holds On to Beat Mets

I don’t have much to say about Wednesday night’s loss, so maybe instead we can continue our earlier discussion on the 2007 draft.

One thing [...]
