So much for going out with a bang. Pads dropped two out of three to the worst team in baseball to finish the season. On the other hand, I did see something in the finale I don’t believe I’ve ever seen. In the sixth inning, both clubs had runners on second and third with nobody [...]

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 [...]
Bullpen Blunder?
I didn’t get to watch much of last night’s game. By the time I got home, Jim Edmonds was just singling home Scott Rolen in the fifth to give the Cards a 5-1 lead. The Padres had their chances to get back into the game and managed to cut the defecit to 5-3 thanks to [...]

St. Louis is averaging 5.35 runs per game. Can the Padres’ bats keep up with the Cards’ offense? The 4.68 [...]

Traffic school. Ugh. Can’t wait to spend an entire Saturday hanging out with a bunch of folks who got caught in a speed trap. In my case, the cops were hiding out in a church parking lot. A church parking lot. I ask you, is nothing sacred? Ah well, such is life. The thing is, [...]

A quick look at my IBA choices: AL ROY Ichiro Suzuki C.C. Sabathia Alfonso Soriano Suzuki and Sabathia were easy. After that it was kind of dicey, with Soriano just nosing out Anaheim’s David Eckstein and Minnesota’s Luis Rivas for that last spot. Danys Baez also had a solid, if quiet, rookie campaign. NL ROY [...]
