I love a pennant race. We made it out to all four games against the Pirates this week — even got to sit in Toyota Terrace on Thursday. I try to do that once a year because they keep all the riff-raff out of that level. Hey, wait, I’m the riff-raff. Anyway, the Padres are [...]

Who Outhomers the Opposition?
Here’s a fun stat that is getting zero play: Nearly 60% of all home runs in Padres games this year have been hit by the Padres. That’s the highest percentage in MLB. The full list: Percentage of Home Runs hit by One Team in Its Games Team HR HRA Pct Statistics are courtesy of ESPN [...]

Missions, Storm Advance
Congrats to the San Antonio Missions and Lake Elsinore Storm for advancing in their league playoffs. The Missions beat the Frisco Rough Riders, 5-0, on Friday at home (recap | box) to sweep their three-game series, while the Storm topped the Inland Empire 66ers, 8-2, at The Diamond in Elsinore (recap | box). One of [...]
Friday Links (7 Sep 07)
Thanks for all the kind words on Thursday. I try not to get too sentimental around here, but sometimes I just can’t help myself. That reminds me, as promised, I’ve got an article on the ’93 Fire Sale up at Hardball Times. Those of you who suffered through Tom Werner’s dismantling of the team might [...]
Learning to Drive
Hard to offer meaningful commentary on a game that wasn’t televised. I assume from the 10 runs and five homers that the offense performed well. Either that or Micah Owings pitched like… well, you get the idea. Padres at Ballhype As you know, I’ve been doing some work with Ballhype of late. Just wanted to [...]
Friday Links (31 Aug 07)
My wife and I went to Del Mar on Thursday. First time I’d been to the track in years. I studied the horses, jockeys, and trainers to the best of my limited ability and proceeded to lose every race I bet on. My wife hit a 30-1 longshot in the third race. She liked the [...]
Tied for First
The Padres are tied for first again after Wednesday night’s 3-1 victory over Arizona at Petco Park (box score). That’s nice, but let’s not get carried away just yet. Not to bring everyone down, but being in first place on August 30 isn’t the goal, it’s just a signpost along the highway. The Padres have [...]
Hey, I Can See First Place from Here
Fun win Tuesday night (box score). They’re all fun, though, aren’t they? Justin Germano wasn’t brilliant, but he didn’t have to be because the offense came through against defending Cy Young award winner Brandon Webb. Geoff at Ballhype Elsewhere in reality, I’ve started writing for Ballhype. My first article — “Barry Zito Is the New [...]
