Yeah, I’m happy that the Padres won on Tuesday (recap | box score). Actually, relieved is more like it (pun only partially intended). The bullpen coming through with nine innings of two-hit shutout baseball is huge. I still can’t believe the Mets had no use for Heath Bell. Still, this Mike Cameron losing fly balls [...]

Padres Fall Short in Comeback, Young Signs Long-Term Deal
Once again, there isn’t a lot of quit in this team and I like that. After spotting the Giants a 6-0 lead, the Padres darned near came back and won on Tuesday night (recap | box score). If not for a bizarre second inning that saw Marcus Giles muff a grounder, Mike Cameron lose a [...]

By releasing him now, the Padres owe him just $987,000. GM Kevin Towers, however, claims that Walker’s salary “didn’t factor into the decision.” Should we take Towers at [...]

Young, Giles, McAnulty Strong in Padres ’07 TV Debut
Got to watch my first Padres game on TV last night. Thanks to the magic of TiVo, I got to watch it again this morning. Yes, I forgot to set up an IGD. We’ll get the first one of the year going this Saturday for the game against Colorado. While we’re waiting for that glorious [...]
