My colleague TD at Rain Delay shot me an email the other day: Got a question for ya, and I figured you’d be the guy to go to. Right now I’m in the middle of reading John Kruk’s I Ain’t an Athlete, Lady, and he says in the book (and he’s said it on BBTN [...]

Friday Links (8 Jun 07)
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 [...]
Blum, Bocachica, and a Slice of History
Eight series wins in a row? Really, I had no idea. Greg Maddux brought his A-game on Wednesday night (recap | boxscore), and Geoff Blum and Hiram Bocachica led the offense en route to a — Say what? Blum and Boca-who-ca? Yep. Blum drove in four runs on the evening, doubling his season total. All [...]

Two-Hit Wonder
For the second time this season, the Padres won despite collecting just two hits. Tuesday night’s contest (recap | boxscore) might not have been pretty, but last I checked, there aren’t any bonus points for style. Although Chris Young wasn’t at his best, he battled for seven innings and kept his team in the game. [...]
Friday Links (1 Jun 07)
I can’t even begin to tell you how glad I am the Padres came back to win Thursday night. I’m not sure how much enthusiasm I could’ve faked if they’d lost to Shawn Chacon. Nice to see Khalil Greene render the umpires’ confusion regarding Josh Bard‘s 11th inning “double” irrelevant by driving home pinch-runner Rob [...]

Friday Links (25 May 07)
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 [...]
Kouz Control
Let’s start with the obvious: The Padres were lucky to win on Wednesday night (recap | boxscore). In a reversal of two recent losses in Atlanta, the Padres came away with a victory when they probably shouldn’t have. David Wells pitched another fine game at home (2.67 ERA in five starts at Petco Park this [...]
Monthly Roundtable: April 2007
Instead of the usual end-of-month statistical spew that I’ve been known to present in the past, I decided to try something different this year. I’ve asked several Padres bloggers to offer their thoughts on the team. Participants this month include Anthony Trifiletti (Friar Watch), Peter Friberg (various; currently covering prospects here at Ducksnorts under the [...]
