first pitch: 7:05 p.m., PT television: Channel 4SD matchup: Chris Young (10-5, 3.63 ERA) vs Tom Gorzelanny (2-3, 3.62 ERA) buy tickets Running on fumes here. I’ll be out at the park tonight, tomorrow night, and Sunday afternoon. Tonight I’ll be sitting right on top of the Pittsburgh bullpen. Just got a new digital camera; [...]
Padres (Finally) Recapture First Place
It was a long time coming, but worth the wait. Not that this is the end, mind you. As the fortune cookie from last night’s Chinese dinner informed me, “Winning starts with beginning.” I don’t really understand it either, but it seems vaguely applicable to the situation and I doubt I’ll get another chance to [...]
Friday Links (8 Sep 06)
I kind of got carried away this morning. Scary thing is, I haven’t even had my first cup of coffee yet. Enjoy… It’s Down To This … (Hardball Times). John Brattain examines the NL West Wild Card race and likes the Padres’ chances, offering this nugget: “If the bats suddenly become hot they’ll have a [...]
Padres Month in Review: August 2006
The Padres went 13-15 in the month of August. Despite outhitting the opposition, .248/.326/.385 to .246/.305/.377, and again outhomering them, 26 to 23, the Pads managed to be outscored, 107 to 105. Adrian Gonzalez (.248/.333/.386 in 101 AB), Josh Barfield (.220/.273/.374 in 91 AB), and Mike Piazza (.203/.268/.344 in 64 AB) all scuffled, and Mark [...]
Wells’ Triumphant Return
You couldn’t have asked for more than what David Wells gave in his return to the San Diego Padres. On Sunday at Petco Park he kept Reds hitters off-balance with an assortment of pitches and his trademark command of all of them. Wells tantalized with just enough mid-60s curve balls that batters had trouble catching [...]
Gap Dirt
Fans in the left field bleachers are chanting “Beat LA.” Cla Meredith comes on to work the ninth. As Meredith puts the finishing touches on a three-game sweep, a drunk Dodgers fan in front of me is chanting “Second Place” (you can do a lot with three syllables — I went with “What’s the Score?”). [...]
Nine Signs You Think About the San Diego Padres Too Much
In the interest of trying to preserve our collective sanity while the Padres continue to play sloppy baseball and slip in the standings, and because one of my favorite bloggers is sponsoring a cool contest, I present the following list. To my regulars, I hope this helps. To those of you visiting from Darren’s blog, [...]
Where Do Padres Come From?
Nice win Sunday afternoon against the Nationals to take the series and remain in first place by two games over the Dodgers and Diamondbacks. I still don’t understand why a guy with Jake Peavy’s stuff has to get so cute when he’s ahead in the count, but oh well. The Padres are off Monday before [...]
Friday Links (4 Aug 06)
Is it me, or has this been a long week? I dunno, maybe it’s the heat. Or maybe I’m getting old. Anyway, TGIF. Onto the links: This time, Greene’s injury not serious (North County Times). Khalil Greene hurt his left middle finger while swinging a bat in the fourth inning of Thursday afternoon’s game against [...]
