I’d hoped to interview a Rockies blogger for this segment, but no such luck, so you’re stuck with me. Colorado is probably the single most surprising team in the big leagues right now (you could make a case for Seattle in the American League); how are they doing it? Mostly by having a balanced attack. [...]

Trade Deadline Post-Mortem
I was on the road while everything went down, so let’s take a look at what exactly happened… Tales from Cooperstown Okay, here’s the deal. My trip to Cooperstown totally kicked me in the posterior. Don’t get me wrong, it was the trip of a lifetime and I couldn’t be happier that I got to [...]

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.

Underwhelmed, Thanks for Asking
Well. That was quite the frenzy considering nothing of real consequence got done. Movement for the sake of movement, like a child who waves his arms and screams, “Look what I can do” when the only activity is his waving and screaming. In the end, one trade was made. Another was reported by numerous sources, [...]
Third Base Reset
A while back we looked at third basemen who might be coming to San Diego. Some of the names have changed, but it’s what we all want to talk about, so speculate and debate to your heart’s content. And buy a T-shirt. Potentially Available Third Basemen Name Team Age AB BA OBP SLG AB/HR BB/PA [...]
Padres Acquire Williamson to Help Shore Up Bullpen
The Padres have acquired reliever Scott Williamson from the Cubs for a couple of pitchers in Low-A ball. Williamson isn’t having a great year — his ERA is over 5.00 but he still has pretty nice peripherals.

July Trade Rumors (of course) (Brew Crew Ball). One of the alleged possibilites to replace the recently departed Vinny Castilla is Milwaukee’s Bill Hall. [...]
IGD: Padres vs Astros (23 Aug 2005)
first pitch: 7:05 p.m., PT television: Channel 4 matchup: Jake Peavy (10-6, 3.14 ERA) vs Roger Clemens (11-5, 1.53 ERA) The Padres lost the opener against Houston Monday night. Roy Oswalt wasn’t at his sharpest, but then, neither were the Friars. The good news, if you want to call it that, is that the Snakes [...]
Oliver Perez vs Pedro Martinez
Great win Sunday, after a heartbreaker Saturday night. Tough to see the Pads give the game away Saturday after scrapping back from down six. The silver lining is that the Astros burned up their bullpen in trying to preserve the win, which led to Jimy Williams having to stick with the erratic Ron Villone maybe [...]
