I was up at Elsinore on Monday night watching Brian Giles begin his rehab assignment, so I missed most of the Padres game (boxscore | recap). Actually, “missed” might not be the right word, but whatever. The Storm, meanwhile, held their “Nothing Night” promotion, which is one of the more unusual events I’ve attended. Basically, [...]

Ah, it’s nice to win a series again. This calls for some links… Germano’s savvy outing baffles Rays (North County Times). I’m finding my skepticism of Justin Germano increasingly difficult to justify. I love this quote from Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon: Just get the Padres pitchers out of town. They can go wherever they [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
Lots of Lumber, a Little Ballet
For the second straight start, Jake Peavy worked extremely hard in the first inning and then settled down to pitch a good game. I’m mostly encouraged by this. It’s great that Peavy is showing the ability to pitch to contact; maybe next he can figure out how to do that out of the gate: Jake [...]
Padres Walk to Victory
I don’t mean to sound like a sore winner, but when you put 17 guys on base, you really need to score more than four runs. We’ll take the victory, of course, it’s just that this game shouldn’t have been close (recap | box score). Chris Young looked terrific, allowing just two runs over six [...]

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 [...]
Gonzalez, Greene Ruin Big Unit’s Return
That was fun. Two old guys serving up meat, and plenty of it? What’s not to love. Randy Johnson made his 2007 debut and looked a bit rusty. He had the good stuff, but his command wasn’t quite there and the Padres took advantage. Jose Cruz Jr., Adrian Gonzalez, and Khalil Greene all had field [...]
IGD: Padres @ Diamondbacks (24 Apr 07)
first pitch: 6:40 p.m. PT television: Channel 4SD matchup: David Wells (0-1, 5.06 ERA) vs Randy Johnson (0-0, –) previews: Padres.com | SI.com David Wells? Randy Johnson? I think Messrs. Flansburgh and Linnell said it best: You’re older than you’ve ever been. And now you’re even older. And now you’re even older. And now you’re [...]
