One of my new habits is hanging out at a cafe in the mall on Sundays while my wife hits the gym. She keeps herself in shape, I keep myself buzzed on double lattes. It’s a good arrangement. It’s also the only chance I get to sit and do what, in my younger days, I [...]

Organization Recap
Real quick trip through the system today. San Diego The three-game winning streak came to an end. Sean Burroughs collected his sixth multihit game in the last ten. He’s now hitting .296/.355/.417 (and a cool .347/.402/.480 since May 1). Kevin Jarvis made his second start. Like the first, it wasn’t real pretty. But it sure [...]
Break Up the Padres!
Two in a row. Break up the Padres! Great pitching from Adam Eaton. Three hits from Sean Burroughs. A Mark Kotsay homer. A Mark Loretta game-winning homer. Heck, Rod Beck saved another game. I don’t want a jinx ‘em, but these guys are playing some ball! And on the farm, Tagg Bozied hit another bomb [...]
Shooter and Khalil
His command isn’t what it once was. His velocity isn’t what it once was. But that moustache is still as good as ever. Ladies and gentlemen, Rod Beck recorded his first save in two years and the Padres didn’t blow a lead yesterday. How about that? A few thoughts from the series: Ryan Klesko’s bunt [...]
GM for a Day
So how many folks are still actually watching the games at this point? If you are, drop me a line at why-oh-why-in-the-world-do-I-do-this-to-myself-please-make-it-stop-I-want-to-die@geoffreynyoung.com and let me know how that’s working for you. Khalil Greene Second day at Triple-A better than the first. He drove in five runs last night at Colorado Springs. GM for a Day [...]
Burroughs and Blalock
Another day, another loss. Here’s a novel idea: How about giving Scott Linebrink a chance to start? He threw 63 pitches last night in relief of Brian Tollberg. If a guy can throw 63, he probably can throw 90, right? On the bright side, Jay Witasick made his 2003 debut yesterday, throwing a perfect eighth [...]
Mailbag
Keep making moves. Maybe one of ‘em will turn out right. To summarize: Padres activate Witasick (U-T). He replaces Lou Merloni, who was placed on the DL with a bruised right knee. Brandon Villafuerte and Kevin Walker were activated from rehab assignments and sent to Portland. Light-hitting Mendez has two hits in return to majors [...]
Bullet Points
Not much time today, so we’ll bullet point it. Better than nothing, right? At Ft. Wayne, Kennard Jones (.301/.407/.373) continues to intrigue with his on-base skills. He, along with right-handers Gabe Ribas (68 IP, 51 H, 20 BB, 67 SO, 2.65 ERA) and Dale Thayer (26, 9, 8, 40, 0.35) could see time in the [...]
Padres Claim Linebrink Off Waivers
For a team that can’t win many games, there sure is a lot happening. Brian Tollberg, all but forgotten, came back last night and pitched four perfect innings before faltering. The Pads have also claimed former Astros’ pitcher Scott Linebrink off waivers. Great, great pickup–we’ll get to that in a moment. Finally, in an interesting [...]
Peavy, Bay, and the Farm
Well, that sure was fun last night, eh? I can live with giving away the ballgame. I don’t like it, but I can live with it. What really gets me is the fact that the Padres have a manager who hasn’t learned a valuable lesson from the Adam Eaton experience and who still doesn’t know [...]
