Might As Well Jump
Hey, if it’s good enough for David Lee Roth, it’s good enough for me. Oh, wait, I’m the guy who’s supposed to be talking everyone down from the ledge. But then, I’d be the only one jumping. Ah, who am I kidding. It’s only baseball. Analysis? We Don’t Need No Stinkin’ Analysis Not much to [...]
We Acknowledge, We Move On
Very frustrating loss in the opener Tuesday afternoon at Petco Park. The Padres, on the national stage for the second straight post-season and commanding more positive attention than perhaps they are accustomed to, came out flat against the Cardinals and never really were in this one. Jake Peavy matched Chris Carpenter pitch for pitch through [...]

Trevor Links
I haven’t offered much analysis on Trevor Hoffman’s record-breaking achievement but there’s a good reason. I can’t offer anything cogent right now. The best I can give you is, “wow!” and share photos. I’m sure I’ll have more to say at some point, but for now I’m just going to point you to other folks. [...]
All Trevor, All-Time
San Diego Padres closer Trevor Hoffman notched career save #479 at Petco Park on Sunday, sealing a second straight 2-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates and passing Lee Smith as the all-time saves leader in Major League history. As we did yesterday when Hoffman tied the record, we’ll let the photos do the talking. Big [...]
