A Win, By Definition, Cannot Be Ugly
The headline lies. What should have been a walk in the proverbial park almost turned into disaster. Thankfully the Padres managed to pull off the victory Wednesday night (box score) in spite of themselves. Hall of Fame Meetup Tony Gwynn’s induction into Cooperstown is nigh upon us. As a reminder, we’re brainstorming ideas for a [...]
The One About Bradley
In case you somehow missed it, Milton Bradley is a Padre. Acquired Friday afternoon along with cash for minor-league right-hander Andrew Brown, the outfielder from Long Beach with a checkered past begins his Padres career on the disabled list due to a strained left oblique. (The Pads knew about the injury and didn’t request a [...]
Do You Know the Way to Tampa Bay?
Burt Bacharach never wrote a song about Tampa, of course, but “What’s New, Pussycat?” might work for the Devil Rays as a team. There is some serious young talent down there: B.J. Upton, Carl Crawford, the troubled Elijah Dukes, Delmon Young, Scott Kazmir, James Shields, Raul Casanova. Six Years o’ Blogging Happy Anniversary to me. [...]
Two-Hit Wonder
For the second time this season, the Padres won despite collecting just two hits. Tuesday night’s contest (recap | boxscore) might not have been pretty, but last I checked, there aren’t any bonus points for style. Although Chris Young wasn’t at his best, he battled for seven innings and kept his team in the game. [...]

Opportunity Knocks, but It Can’t Come In
Not a lot to say this morning that hasn’t already been beaten to death. The Padres had opportunities Tuesday evening (recap | boxscore) but failed to cash in on them. Loading the bases and making a guy throw 34 pitches in the first inning is great; leaving all three runners stranded, not so much. David [...]

Young, Giles, McAnulty Strong in Padres ’07 TV Debut
Got to watch my first Padres game on TV last night. Thanks to the magic of TiVo, I got to watch it again this morning. Yes, I forgot to set up an IGD. We’ll get the first one of the year going this Saturday for the game against Colorado. While we’re waiting for that glorious [...]
