The Padres beat the Giants Sunday, 9-6, to take the final home series before the All-Star break. A few observations from the game… Second Inning First pitch Khalil Greene sees from Jason Schmidt is a filthy slider. Greene takes a horrible hack, and I figure he’ll see a steady diet of breaking balls all day. [...]

Predicting the Future, Badly

Padres Off-Season: Starting Pitchers
Today kicks off our look at how the Padres might be able to improve themselves for next year. But first, a public service announcement. Tomorrow is Election Day.

Prospects at Elsinore
I don’t have anything profound to say after watching the Texas/Anaheim game last night. What else is new, right? I sure am glad baseball is back. Caught the Pads’ final exhibition game Saturday night at Elsinore. Jake Peavy dominated his old team, as he should have. Xavier Nady hit a long homer to left, for [...]
