Friday Links (28 Sep 07)

Coffee in the bloodstream, jazz in the ears, baseball on the brain. Let’s get busy… Trade winds blow true (San Diego Union-Tribune). Tom Krasovic tells us what we already know: Kevin Towers is good at that trading thing. Here’s a passage that helps confirm some things we’ve long suspected: Padres statistical analysts deserve credit, Towers [...]

Jake the Efficient

What to say about Wednesday night’s win (box score)… Huge? Yeah, a little. Fun? You bet. Jake Peavy struck out just one batter over seven solid innings en route to his 19th win. First time since August 2003 he’s registered fewer than two strikeouts in a game. Matt and Mud speculated that maybe Peavy had [...]

IGD: Padres @ Giants (25 Sep 07)

Game #157 time: 7:15 p.m. PT tv: 4SD sp: Brett Tomko (4-11, 5.36) vs Matt Cain (7-16, 3.68) pre: Padres.com, B-R.com Brett Tomko is an anagram of Bottom Trek. Matt Cain is an anagram of Attic Man. I wish there were a super hero called Attic Man and he played for the Padres… Tunes: Joe [...]

Friday Links (21 Sep 07)

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 [...]

Look at Saturday’s pitching matchup. Five things: Certain promotions notwithstanding, the ’90s are not “retro,” although one day they will be. Chris Young is slowly [...]

Friday Links (14 Sep 07)

Yummy links… Full palette of skippers up for award (MLB.com). National Manager of the Year? My money is on Bob Melvin because most experts didn’t expect the Diamondbacks to win the NL West. They should have, but they didn’t. Hoffman heeds no call for career exit strategy (San Diego Union-Tribune). Fluff piece on everyone’s favorite [...]

I Love It When a Plan Comes Together

If Tuesday night’s opener provides any indication, this series in Los Angeles is going to be tough. Sure, the final score was 9-4, but the Dodgers just would not go away. The Padres even had to get Trevor Hoffman up and warming at the end. Jake Gets It Done Jake Peavy came back strong after [...]
