Welcome to the second half. Here’s what the Padres need to do the rest of the way to reach certain benchmarks:
28-39 to finish at .400
31-36 to finish at .420 (worst record in NL last year)
36-31 to finish at .450
44-23 to finish at [...]
On Thursday, we examined what the Padres have and what they need. Now we turn to the question of which teams might make good trade partners and then consider some possible scenarios.
As of this writing, about half the teams in baseball appear to be in contention. Some will fall of the pace, although it’s impossible [...]
For those of you who might have “missed” Monday night’s game, here is a quick recap:
The Cardinals scored their first runs of the game on a fly ball to deep left that Scott Hairston dropped into the stands for a two-run homer.
They scored their next run on a bases-loaded HBP to Yadier Molina — yes, [...]
We are all products of our environment. The recent environment in San Diego baseball has been one of winning. Since moving downtown for the 2004 season, the Padres have seen unprecedented on-field success. For the first time in franchise history they’ve enjoyed four straight winning seasons. In 2005 and 2006, they reached the post-season in [...]
The Padres are about to pick up center fielder Jim Edmonds from St. Louis for minor-league third baseman David Freese. Reportedly, the Cardinals also will be sending $1 million, which is why the deal hasn’t been formally announced yet.
Edmonds is in decline, and the Pads will need a contingency plan, but I like this move. [...]
August 12, 1969, San Diego: Cubs 4, Padres 0 (box score)
Ferguson Jenkins had faced the Padres once before, on May 12, in Chicago. He had tossed a five-hit shutout, fanning 10 batters, en route to a 2-0 victory that day.
Now, exactly three months later, Jenkins and the Padres met again, with similar results. San Diego [...]

I’m still floored that Joel Pineiro didn’t work out as Boston’s closer. With his track record, who could have seen that coming? Oh, wait; I think the answer is everyone. Naturally he will dominate the Padres.
In less cynical news, Chris Young returns [...]

I’m fighting a battle with Excel that I cannot win. This chart was supposed to be useful; instead, it’s just… colorful?
Kinda reminds me of a Dead show I once saw in Vegas. Santana opened; we slept in a tent at a rest [...]
