Hello. How ya been? Feels like years since I’ve written. Or since the Padres won a game. Lots going on, but I’m a little short on time, so we’ll get to some of it now and come back for the rest later. Hey, Hey, Hey, Do the Padre Shuffle Okay, that was lame. Anyway, here’s [...]

Spring Training Update for 3/27/03
I’m a bit pressed for time today, so we’ll keep this one real short and sweet. No relief: Walker, Witasick go on DL (U-T). Also, the catching situation remains unsettled; Shane Victorino will make the club over Roberto Kelly as the team’s fifth outfielder. Padres pound Mariners, Condrey pitches effectively (U-T). The battle between Condrey [...]
"Stars of the Future" Game
Grabbed some bagels and coffee, filled up the tank. Picked up my buddy Jeff at his place, hit the freeway a little after 7:30 Sunday morning. Got to Yuma around 11:15 local time. Realized we had no idea where the stadium was. Stopped at a Circle K for directions; the woman who helped us seemed [...]
Giving Away Phillips, Part Two
I’m not done yet. Oh no, I haven’t even gotten started. Before we get into that, I’d just like to congratulate Brad Holland and the USD men’s basketball team on a great, great season. Yeah, they got bounced from the NCAA tourney in the first round but this was their first trip to the dance [...]
How It Is, How It’s Going to Be
How It Is Do you have the time to listen to me whine?–Green Day, "Basket Case" My new job has me building and editing web sites 8+ hours a day. I’m loving it, but by the time I get off work, my wrists and elbows are shot. The last thing I want to do when [...]
Mailbag and Spring Training Update

Ken Burns, DIPS, Sleepers, and Prospects
I promised baseball today, and that’s what I’ll deliver. First off, here are a couple articles worth reading: An Interview with Ken Burns (Alex Belth’s Bronx Banter) Defense Independent Pitching Statistics for 2002 (Futility Infielder) These are gems. I hate to admit it, but I haven’t seen Burns’ "Baseball" (although I’ve seen some of his [...]
Dog Ate My Blog
Dog ate my blog yesterday. Here it is, a day late. For best results, pretend you’re reading this on Monday. The big day finally arrived here in San Diego yesterday. Hundreds of thousands were in town this weekend as the event came upon us, yet oddly enough only a few hundred actually showed up. Football? [...]
Padres Top 20 Prospects for 2003: 1-10
Sorry for the delay, folks. Bit of a crisis at work this morning. Servers have a way of crashing at the most inopportune times. I’ve got a lot on my plate at the moment, so this will be my last posting till probably the middle of next week. In the meantime, you’ve always got… Blogs, [...]
Padres April Wrap
by Geoff Young on May 05, 2003 (0) Comments
Why even bother with an official scorer? Xavier Nady hits a lazy fly ball to center in the 10th on Friday night that Ricky Ledee loses in the lights; ball clanks off Ledee’s glove and it’s ruled a hit. Then Saturday night, Mike Lieberthal hits a ducksnort to right that Nady has to run a [...]
