Padres Farm Report (2 Jun 08)

Right-hander Mark Prior is scheduled to undergo season-ending shoulder surgery. Bummer, but given his injury history, this was a likely outcome. Here’s hoping he can find health and resume his career at some point. With the amateur draft looming, I’m thinking back to when the Twins took Joe Mauer #1 overall in 2001. Remember the [...]

I’m listening to the new REM. If everything between Automatic for the People and now was intended to provide dramatic effect for their return to sounding like REM, then holy smokes it’s been a smashing success. I had no idea they were capable of making music like this anymore. No whining mid-tempo crap, just driving [...]

Padres Farm Report (29 May 08)

Shadow Puppets

For those of you who might have “missed” Monday night’s game, here is a quick recap: The Cardinals scored their first runs of the game on a fly ball to deep left that Scott Hairston dropped into the stands for a two-run homer. They scored their next run on a bases-loaded HBP to Yadier Molina [...]
