Don’t know how we ended up with so many of these, but here they are: Padres can’t pin hitting woes on Petco (ESPN, h/t parlo). Quoth Khalil Greene: I’m not going to consistently say it, but the ballpark plays a major factor in it — more than anybody lets on at times. That’s the reality [...]
Your Predictions for 2008?
From esteemed reader LynchMob comes this excellent idea for a post on the eve of Opening Day: “provide us with a list of questions which you want us, the commenters, to go ‘on the record’ with”; he then poses several questions, which you will find below.

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 [...]
