A Lot Can Go Wrong in a Game

I don’t have the heart to watch this one a second time on TiVo, so we’ll have to rely on my impressions of Wednesday night’s game (recap | box score) as viewed from the upper deck. Scary proposition, I know, but there it is. David Wells pitched a beautiful game. Honestly, I don’t know that [...]

Padres Drop Finale in LA, Hope Chicago Is Their Kind of Town

Strange series up at Dodger Stadium over the weekend. I expected tighter contests. Instead, one team’s starting pitcher failed to show up in each of the three games. Unfortunately for the Padres, it was their guy in two of those three. Sunday evening’s victim, Chris Young, never looked comfortable and needed 84 pitches to record [...]

Padres Win Again at San Francisco

Hit the ball hard, play good defense, shut down the oppostion in the late innings. That was fun to watch. A few quick observations from Wednesday’s 5-3 victory over the Giants at PhoneCo (recap | box score): It’s only two games, but Marcus Giles (NOG) may be the most aggressive leadoff hitter I’ve ever seen. [...]

Peavy, Padres Roll in Opener

Nice way to start the season, eh? First Opening Day shutout in club history (recap | box score). Sure, that works. Jake Peavy had a strong outing, spinning six scoreless innings against the Giants at PhoneCo. One of the things we’ve harped on here in the past is the need for Peavy to pitch with [...]

Are we there yet? Almost… Clubhouse chemistry winning formula? (San Diego Union-Tribune). More Brian Giles wackiness. I never get tired of grown men telling stupid kids jokes. 2007 San Diego Padres Season Preview (Baseball Savant). He likes what he sees and predicts 89 wins and another NL West title for the Friars. ‘Healthy’ Peavy eager [...]

Oh So Quiet

Welcome to the calm before the storm. Not much going on right now, but the Opening Day roster is starting to take shape. Right-hander Scott Strickland will be waived today, leaving righties Kevin Cameron and Mike Thompson as the leading candidates for the final two bullpen spots. Kevin Towers and Bud Black both think highly [...]
