Dog ate my blog yesterday. Here it is, a day late. For best results, pretend you’re reading this on Monday. The big day finally arrived here in San Diego yesterday. Hundreds of thousands were in town this weekend as the event came upon us, yet oddly enough only a few hundred actually showed up. Football? [...]

Why the Rumored Nevin for Griffey Deal Made No Sense
Okay, with luck this is the last I’ll say on the topic, but it occurs to me that although I’ve written a great deal about The Rumor™ in various other forums, I may not have made my point clearly enough here. So I’ll try to summarize what I’ve written elsewhere and that, as they say, [...]
Traffic School, Brock2, and Everything in Between
Predictably, traffic school stunk. Actually, it wasn’t as bad as I’d expected. The main problem is that it killed my Saturday. But there was some nice scenery, if you know what I mean. Yeah, I’m a pig; I admit it. What’s up with Padre starting pitching? This is painful. Last night’s game was so bad [...]
Nady, Baker, Greene, and Germano
Hey, Padres won a game. Woo-hoo! Did ya see the bomb that Bubba Trammell hit off Mark Prior? Oh, my. And Tom Lampkin came through in a big way. Speaking of the Cubs, how about that walk-off job by Edgar Renteria to cap a six-run ninth the other night? As exciting as it was to [...]
Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On
Back to baseball. Whole lotta shakin’ goin’ on. As Ducksnorts undergoes changes, so do the Padres. I’ll briefly summarize recent activity. First, the Giants claimed southpaw Jason Pearson off waivers. Second, the Pads sent right-handers Jeremy Fikac and Dennis Tankersley to Mobile, and recalled lefty Oliver Perez and righty J.J. Trujillo from the same club [...]
Quick Trip Around the Minors
Apologies for going incommunicado on you. Between not having Internet access at home and spending most of my waking hours building and fixing other people’s web sites, finding time to update my own site has been tricky of late. So while I have a moment let’s see if we can catch up on some things. [...]

Come to think of it, "Earthshine" is as good a song as I’ve heard anybody put out in a long time. I should warn you right now that I’ll be talking about this CD for weeks. And I won’t apologize for it. But I’ll still be talking baseball, since that’s what we do here. And [...]
Tollberg, Howard, and Nady
Some good news and some bad news. The good news is, I successfully installed Windows on my machine. And man, does it load fast now! Funny what happens when you wipe your system. The bad news is, I can’t get Windows to talk to my modem and vice versa, so for the time being, my [...]
Padres Farm Report (23 Apr 2002)
A real quick rundown on what’s going on around the Padres’ system… Portland Former big-leaguer Pete Incaviglia was released on Friday after hitting just .122/.200/.146 in 15 games. Right-hander Jason Middlebrook left Sunday’s start early thanks to a line drive off his pitching arm courtesy of Omaha’s Ken Harvey. It is not known whether Middlebrook, [...]
Burroughs, Backstop Woes, and Mound Ball
So, who thought that Sean Burroughs would hit his first homer before drawing his first walk in the big leagues? Yeah, me neither. The Padres need Wiki Gonzalez back. Or Ben Davis. Tom Lampkin and Javier Cardona are 2-for-44 on the year. Tag Bozied saw his first action at third base last night at Bakersfield. [...]
