Tough loss on Thursday (recap | boxscore), but in light of Wednesday’s gift, I can’t complain too much. Besides, the Padres won another series and it’s hard not to like that. To the links… Greene’s play just a reaction (Padres.com). Coaches and teammates gush over Khalil Greene‘s spectacular spinning play on Tuesday night to rob [...]

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 [...]
Get Luckier
The fact that we’re all frustrated by a 13-13 start speaks volumes about how far this franchise has come in a very short time. That doesn’t make us feel any better after another stupid loss (recap | box score), of course, but it’s something. I don’t have the stomach to sit through the game again, [...]
When Is Zero Greater Than Sixteen?
The story was supposed to be Jake Peavy‘s 16 strikeouts and complete dominance. The story was supposed to be Terrmel Sledge‘s opposite field home run off sinkerballer Brandon Webb. The story was supposed to be anything but what it became. It’s a credit to the Padres’ bullpen that a two-run lead headed to the eighth [...]
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. [...]
Padres Drop 2007 Home Opener
After Friday night’s 4-3 loss to the Rockies (recap | box score), I’m reminded of two things: First, losing stinks. Second, it’s a long season, and thank goodness for that. Pregame: Sushi and Flag Raising I met my wife downtown around 4:30 p.m. After a sushi dinner at Ra (don’t be fooled by the trendy [...]
Friday Links (6 Apr 07)
Tough loss for the Padres on Thursday (recap | box score). A sweep at PhoneCo would have been nice, but winning the series is a good way to start the season. What’s crazy is that even despite the slapstick antics of Khalil Greene, Kevin Kouzmanoff, and Terrmel Sledge, as well as an inconsistent strike zone [...]
Padres Win Again at San Francisco
Hit the ball hard, play good defense, shut down the oppostion in the late innings. That was fun to watch. A few quick observations from Wednesday’s 5-3 victory over the Giants at PhoneCo (recap | box score): It’s only two games, but Marcus Giles (NOG) may be the most aggressive leadoff hitter I’ve ever seen. [...]
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 [...]
Tuesday Links (6 Mar 07)
Quick reminder to the folks here in San Diego that tonight’s game against the Diamondbacks will be televised on Channel 4 at 6 p.m. PT. Until then, here’s what’s going on: Left Field Who’s in left? Good question. The assumption has been Terrmel Sledge, but he’s really just the leading candidate headed into spring training. [...]
