Friday Links (14 Apr 06)

Is it just me or, did it seem like Friday would never arrive this week? Well, it’s here now. Let’s see what we’ve got: Brazelton shelled again (San Diego Union Tribune). All I know is that giving up eight earned runs in four innings shouldn’t lower your ERA. As Nick G. pointed out in Thursday’s [...]

Comps for Gonzalez

I’m just as disgusted as the rest of you that the Padres didn’t even bother to show up against the Rockies this weekend. I would rant, but you can’t rant about everything, which is what’s wrong with the Friars right now. Plus, we’ve got better things to do with our time. With that in mind, [...]

Short Attention Span Analysis

Frustrating loss Wednesday night. Shawn Estes actually looked better than I’d expected. More aggressive. I was thinking he’d be Darrell May, Part II, but Estes has okay stuff.
