Turning Point?
Padres keep driving us crazy, but we love ‘em. It’s been so darned long, I had forgotten how stressful a pennant race can be. A few thoughts after Wednesday’s sequence of infinitely improbable events: Scott Linebrink can pitch for my team anytime. Coming back down 3-0 to Mike Matheny to get out of a bases-loaded [...]
Round Two, Advantage Padres
Great game Tuesday night at Petco. The Padres fell behind early but battled back. Neither Jake Peavy, who started the game, nor Trevor Hoffman, who finished it, had his best stuff, but both got the job done. A few observations from Section 309: The defensive shift against Khalil Greene was odd. In his first at-bat [...]
How Not to Win a Division

Taking Back Petco
The Padres beat the Giants Sunday, 9-6, to take the final home series before the All-Star break. A few observations from the game… Second Inning First pitch Khalil Greene sees from Jason Schmidt is a filthy slider. Greene takes a horrible hack, and I figure he’ll see a steady diet of breaking balls all day. [...]
