Two Points of Rage, Please
I’m more than a little furious about Tuesday night’s loss (recap | box score), but I’ve got a monthly roundtable to finish, so I’ll distill my rage into two points: It is public knowledge that Greg Maddux tends to implode after five innings (opponents are batting .333/.351/.632 against him from the sixth on) or 75 [...]

IGD: Padres @ Giants (27 Jun 07)
Game #76 time: 12:35 p.m. PT tv: none sp: Greg Maddux (6-4, 3.84) vs Matt Cain (2-8, 3.46) pre: Padres.com, SI.com How did David Wells and Greg Maddux end up back-to-back in the rotation again? I thought we agreed that the bullpen can’t afford that. The good news is that the Padres are off Thursday, [...]

Bring on the Birds
The Orioles are coming to town and they are in a state of considerable disarray, which frightens me. It’s hard to say how a team will respond after its manager is fired, but with Sam Perlozzo no longer part of the picture ostensibly because his players failed to produce for him, these guys just might [...]
Another City, Another Series Win
Good to see the boys wrap up the road trip with a couple of wins in Chicago. Even better to see Mike Cameron playing well again. Since May 1, he’s batting .288/.341/.532. That’s more like it. The fight on Saturday? I’ll be honest; I hate that aspect of professional sports — nobody walks away from [...]
IGD: Padres @ Cubs (15 Jun 07)
Game #66 time: 11:20 a.m. PT tv: WGN sp: David Wells (3-3, 4.76) vs Ted Lilly (4-4, 3.96) pre: Padres.com, SI.com The Cubs are a strange team. On the one hand, their current record and occasional love spats have to be viewed as disappointments in light of the nearly $300 million they spent on free [...]
Friday Links (15 Jun 07)
Ah, it’s nice to win a series again. This calls for some links… Germano’s savvy outing baffles Rays (North County Times). I’m finding my skepticism of Justin Germano increasingly difficult to justify. I love this quote from Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon: Just get the Padres pitchers out of town. They can go wherever they [...]
