Padres (15-26) @ Cubs (24-16) Greg Maddux vs Ryan Dempster 11:20 a.m. PT no television AM 1090, FM 105.7, XM 183 MLB, B-R The Padres showed some good fight at the end of Wednesday evening’s game. Unfortunately they spent much of the early part digging themselves into a deep, dark hole. Still, I liked the [...]

I’m kinda winging it today. We’ll see what happens… This has been floating around for a few days now, but Paul DePodesta has a blog. I’ve added it to the ol’ blogroll as well as to PadreBlogs.com. One of DePo’s first posts concerns the effects of Petco Park. The entire post is well worth reading, [...]

Padres Release Edmonds, Shuffle Deck Chairs

by Geoff Young on May 10, 2008 (38) Comments

So much for Jim Edmonds. Ducksnorts readers projected him to hit .255/.338/.418, with the most pessimistic of us pegging his OPS at a limp 645. Sadly, the former All-Star didn’t even come close to those meager numbers, finishing his Padres career at .178/.265/.233 in 103 plate appearances and, more importantly, looking lost in center field. [...]

The Shape of Things to Come

Top of the ninth, two on, one out. Adrian Gonzalez steps to the plate. Braves manager Bobby Cox summons ex-Padre Royce Ring, who promptly hangs a breaking ball. Gonzalez swats it high and deep down the right-field line. He, catcher Brian McCann, and plate umpire Wally Bell all watch as it sails into the Atlanta [...]

Milton Bradley knocked two homers, drove in [...]

Padres (9-12) @ Giants (8-13) Greg Maddux vs Matt Cain 7:05 p.m. PT Channel 4SD AM 1090, FM 105.7, XM 189 MLB, B-R In baseball, as in life, it’s wise to abandon your long-term plans at the first sign of trouble. Good luck with that. Maddux goes for career win #350.

Padres (8-10) @ D’backs (13-4) Randy Wolf vs Randy Johnson 1:10 p.m. PT Channel 4SD AM 1090, FM 105.7, XM 189 MLB, B-R I love Greg Maddux‘s attitude. Dude took one for the team on Friday, throwing 113 pitches to give a beleaguered bullpen some rest following the 22-inning contest that finished earlier in the [...]
