Spent a good chunk of yesterday down at Hospitality Point. Didn’t do much, mainly just read some David Sedaris, listened to the iPod, and stared at sailboats on the water. I live about 15 minutes from the beach and can’t be bothered to get down there more than a handful of times a year. That [...]

Boatload o’ Links
Cautionary tale from La Casa de Joven… Wife: Get a haircut, you look like Leif Garrett. Me (busting out some crazy old school moves): Hey babe, I was made for dancing. Long, awkward silence. Really. Long. Really. Awkward. Silence. Wife: Get a haircut. Anyway, some of these links are kind of old, but not as [...]
Mailbag: Special Vinny Edition
The Adam Eaton to Texas rumors continue to float around but as yet, nothing has actually happened. Meantime, we’ve gotten some real good responses on the Brian Lawrence – Vinny Castilla trade so I thought I’d run a few letters, comments, and the like. Enjoy… From the venerable and ubiquitous Anonymous: I heard from a [...]

first pitch: 7:05 p.m., PT television: Channel 4 matchup: Jake Peavy (7-3, 3.14 ERA) vs Claudio Vargas (3-4, 6.70 ERA) previews: ESPN | Padres.com That was a satisfying win Friday night.

Woodmonster
Woody Williams pitched another gem last night in San Francisco. That’s two real good games in a row from Williams, for those scoring at home. For those who didn’t see the game, know that he pitched even better than his line. Several hits were of the bloop variety, and his defense didn’t do him any [...]
Hoffman Blows Save, Coors Field Just Blows
That was ugly. And I’d say the same even if the Padres had ended up winning. Caught the first few innings on television. Some observations: Woody Williams had nothing. He was constantly falling behind in the count and having trouble locating his pitches. It was one game, and at Coors, so I’m not concerned about [...]
