Coffee, Jazz, Victory

by Geoff Young on Jul 17, 2007 (34) Comments

Got me some coffee in a mug, some Lionel Hampton on the radio, and a Padres win (box score) on my mind. Not bad for a Tuesday morning. Hall of Fame Meetup Tony Gwynn’s induction into Cooperstown is nigh upon us. As a reminder, we’re brainstorming ideas for a Hall of Fame meetup. Any and [...]

Young, Padres Too Good for This Headline

by Geoff Young on Jul 05, 2007 (41) Comments

Wednesday night’s victory (recap | box score) was particularly gratifying in light of Tuesday’s meltdown. Chris Young? His usual dominant self. Thanks to seven scoreless innings, he now has the best ERA in the big leagues. Incidentally, you still have time to vote for Young for the All-Star game, and if the fact that he’s [...]

First off, thanks to everyone for helping out yesterday with the overlooked players. This is subject to change, but right now based on your feedback, I’m leaning toward Mike Ivie, Ruppert Jones, and Brad Ausmus to go along with Ollie Brown. Onto the links! Padres tentatively acquire OF Milton Bradley (San Diego Union-Tribune). We started [...]

Nothing Night

I was up at Elsinore on Monday night watching Brian Giles begin his rehab assignment, so I missed most of the Padres game (boxscore | recap). Actually, “missed” might not be the right word, but whatever. The Storm, meanwhile, held their “Nothing Night” promotion, which is one of the more unusual events I’ve attended. Basically, [...]

Friday Links (22 Jun 07)

I love that it always comes as a surprise when this team drops a series — nice change from the old days, when you secretly expected the worst before anything even happened. Now the Red Sox are in town, which means that people in other parts of the country might be paying attention. This would [...]

Grin and Barrett

Wednesday night’s game (recap | boxscore) was a dog, and I don’t have much to say about it. Instead, I’ve been thinking about Michael Barrett, and what his presence means to the Padres. First off, according to Padres.com, San Diego is on the hook for $1 million of his remaining salary. Even for a team [...]

Runs? Yeah, We Got Some — and a Catcher

by Geoff Young on Jun 20, 2007 (166) Comments

Crazy offense on Tuesday night, eh (recap | boxscore)? Eighteen runs at Petco Park — it’s like I’ve been saying all along, they need to move the fences in to stimulate more scoring. Did I mention that the Padres own the National League’s best record? First off, props to the Orioles for not quitting at [...]

General manager who acquired player denoted by initials in parentheses (where no initials are provided, Kevin Towers is the GM): RS = Randy Smith, JMI [...]
