Last month we introduced a monthly roundtable in which several Padres bloggers offered their thoughts on the team. The response was so positive that we’re doing it a second time. Participants this month include Anthony Trifiletti (Friar Watch), Peter Friberg (various; currently covering prospects here at Ducksnorts under the title “Padres Prospect Report”), Jim Higgins [...]

Padres Visit Steel City
Fun weekend against the Brewers, eh? Nice to get that first series sweep of the season.

June 9 Doubleheader Meetup Reminder
In case you missed it, we’ll be meeting up for the June 9 doubleheader at Petco Park. We’ve got about 20 folks confirmed, and a few tickets are still available. Here’s the dirt: Date: Saturday, June 9, 2007 Time: 2:30 p.m. PT Place: duh Price: $17 per person For the first game (High-A Lake Elsinore [...]
When Cubs Come to Town
The Cubs spent nearly $300 million this past winter on free agents, brought in a high-profile manager, and put the club on the market. Somehow I doubt anyone was hoping for a sub-.500 record in MLB’s weakest division a quarter of the way through the season. Ex-Padre Derrek Lee is back and hitting again, though [...]
Padres Walk to Victory
I don’t mean to sound like a sore winner, but when you put 17 guys on base, you really need to score more than four runs. We’ll take the victory, of course, it’s just that this game shouldn’t have been close (recap | box score). Chris Young looked terrific, allowing just two runs over six [...]
Four in Atlanta, Unsolicited Roster Suggestions
Went to Vegas over the weekend. Thought about betting on some baseball games, but the return on investment is terrible. Hard to justify laying down an upper-deck ticket for a 60% chance of winning a bag of peanuts. Mutual funds would be better, but I couldn’t find any at the sports book. Meanwhile, down in [...]
Monthly Roundtable: April 2007
Instead of the usual end-of-month statistical spew that I’ve been known to present in the past, I decided to try something different this year. I’ve asked several Padres bloggers to offer their thoughts on the team. Participants this month include Anthony Trifiletti (Friar Watch), Peter Friberg (various; currently covering prospects here at Ducksnorts under the [...]
Seventeen Innings of Solitude
Another gut-wrenching loss on Sunday (recap | box score). For the third time in five starts, David Wells didn’t look sharp at all. His final line wasn’t horrible; then again, “wasn’t horrible” is hardly the standard by which starters on a contending team should be measured. To their credit, the Padres picked up Wells and [...]
Friday Links (27 Apr 07)
That was a frustrating series in Phoenix. After losing a heartbreaker on Wednesday, there didn’t seem to be a lot of energy Thursday night (recap | box score). Other than the Adrian Gonzalez three-run homer in the first, the Padres looked completely flat against Livan Hernandez and the Diamondbacks. Oh well, today’s another day. In [...]
IGD: Padres @ Diamondbacks (25 Apr 07)
first pitch: 6:40 p.m. PT television: Channel 4SD matchup: Jake Peavy (3-0, 2.13 ERA) vs Brandon Webb (1-1, 4.00 ERA) previews: Padres.com | SI.com What am I supposed to do with four games worth of data from Jake Peavy? I want to analyze something, but it’s hard to tell which of these numbers are real. [...]
