Back in April, I wrote my annual “Looking Forward to…” piece on the Padres over at Baseball Think Factory. In the interest of holding myself accountable, and maybe learning something in the process, I thought we should do a quick review. We’ll cover the position players today and the pitchers on Monday. Marcus Giles, 2B [...]

Jake the Efficient
What to say about Wednesday night’s win (box score)… Huge? Yeah, a little. Fun? You bet. Jake Peavy struck out just one batter over seven solid innings en route to his 19th win. First time since August 2003 he’s registered fewer than two strikeouts in a game. Matt and Mud speculated that maybe Peavy had [...]

I love a pennant race. We made it out to all four games against the Pirates this week — even got to sit in Toyota Terrace on Thursday. I try to do that once a year because they keep all the riff-raff out of that level. Hey, wait, I’m the riff-raff. Anyway, the Padres are [...]
IGD: Padres vs Giants (15 Sep 07)
Game #147 time: 7:05 p.m. PT tv: 4SD sp: Brett Tomko (2-11, 5.70) vs Matt Cain (7-14, 3.78) pre: Padres.com, B-R.com Great win Friday night (box score). Don’t believe me? Look at Saturday’s pitching matchup. Five things: Certain promotions notwithstanding, the ’90s are not “retro,” although one day they will be. Chris Young is slowly [...]
Somebody’s Got a Case of the Thursdays
If you thought Wednesday night’s loss (box score) was dreadful, here’s something even verse: Once was a boy, age fifteen years, Hiram Helsel was his name, And he was sick two years or so; He has left this world of pain; His friends they miss this lovely boy, [...]
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 [...]
Hey, I Can See First Place from Here
Fun win Tuesday night (box score). They’re all fun, though, aren’t they? Justin Germano wasn’t brilliant, but he didn’t have to be because the offense came through against defending Cy Young award winner Brandon Webb. Geoff at Ballhype Elsewhere in reality, I’ve started writing for Ballhype. My first article — “Barry Zito Is the New [...]
IGD: Padres @ Phillies (26 Aug 07)
Game #129 time: 10:35 a.m. PT tv: 4SD sp: Tim Stauffer (0-0, 17.18) vs Kyle Kendrick (6-3, 4.06) pre: Padres.com, SI.com, B-R.com Four things: Glad to see Doug Brocail take care of business with Carlos Ruiz. Plunking the punk in the hip won’t hasten Marcus Giles‘ return from the DL, but it’s good to know [...]
