Runs Would Be Nice
Now that was an irritating way to lose a game (box score). Quick bullet points, because I simply don’t have the time to launch into the full-on assault I’d prefer. Derek Lowe is a good pitcher, but he’s not as good as the Padres are making him look. This is not Kevin Brown, okay? Difference [...]
Game Blog
What the heck, haven’t done one of these in a while. 7:08 PM Checking out ESPN’s Stat Pack. Great feature. Surprised to see that the Pads are running four lefties against southpaw Odalis Perez. Getting excited at the prospect of watching Terrence Long hit grounders back to the mound. 7:11 PM So much for Stat [...]
Deadline Trades
Lots to cover today. We’ll get started with the moves that hit closest to home. Padres trade RHP Jon Huber to Mariners for 1B Dave Hansen Hansen is the one guy I was really disappointed to see go in this past winter’s exchange of bad contracts. Not only does he still wield a potent bat, [...]
A Tale of Two Games
I was going to lead in with a bit about Japanese koto music, but all the good feeling I derived from listening to that at work yesterday disappeared in a flash last night. This was a game the Padres should have won. The things that didn’t come back to bite them in the opener led [...]
Boomin’ Granny

Did you catch the LA fans booing their team as early as the third inning yesterday? Talk about harsh. Some random observations: The top three in the order look real [...]
Opening Day
Yep. It’s finally here. Brian Lawrence and Hideo Nomo hook up at Dodger Stadium, 1 PM start. Throw out the high ERAs and hope everyone is ready. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty giddy about the upcoming season. I know, I always feel that way on Opening Day. But somehow I can’t help [...]
White Stripes, Web Sites, a Little Bit of Baseball
Good gigs this weekend. Even had people dancing to "Seven Nation Army" Saturday night, which was kinda weird but very cool. One thing I’m working on is stage presence. Being an idiot in my own home is easy, but doing it in front of a bunch of drunk people (while I’m sober) is another story. [...]
Songs, Trade Rumors, and the All-Star Game
