IGD: Padres vs Phillies (19 Jul 07)
Game #94 time: 7:05 p.m. PT tv: 4SD sp: Chris Young (8-3, 1.97) vs Cole Hamels (11-4, 3.83) pre: Padres.com, SI.com In 2002, the Padres were believed to be interested in local southpaw Cole Hamels with their first pick (#13 overall). Of course, they passed on Hamels (as well as Scott Kazmir) and instead selected [...]
IGD: Padres @ Diamondbacks (14 Jul 07)
Game #89 time: 6:40 p.m. PT tv: 4SD sp: Chris Young (8-3, 2.00) vs Livan Hernandez (5-5, 4.54) pre: Padres.com, SI.com I can’t stand watching Livan Hernandez pitch, but I have tremendous admiration for the guy. He has successfully taken Muhammad Ali’s rope-a-dope strategy and applied it to baseball. The results may be “aesthetically challenged,” [...]
Friday Links (6 Jul 07)
Adrian Gonzalez is very much ready for the All-Star break, and so am I. Light on the links today. Enjoy… On day Padres’ Young becomes All-Star, pitcher decides to start suspension (ESPN, via Steve C in the comments). Pretty self-explanatory. Glad to see Chris Young make the All-Star team. I don’t care one whit about [...]
Young, Padres Too Good for This Headline
Wednesday night’s victory (recap | box score) was particularly gratifying in light of Tuesday’s meltdown. Chris Young? His usual dominant self. Thanks to seven scoreless innings, he now has the best ERA in the big leagues. Incidentally, you still have time to vote for Young for the All-Star game, and if the fact that he’s [...]

IGD: Padres @ Dodgers (29 Jun 07)
Game #78 time: 7:40 p.m. PT tv: 4SD sp: Chris Young (7-3, 2.08) vs Hong-Chih Kuo (1-3, 6.33) pre: Padres.com, SI.com I guess Luis Gonzalez didn’t get the memo. You know, the one that says he’s washed up. Gonzalez is batting .350/.424/.624 over 132 plate appearances since May 21 and .301/.393/.500 overall. Russell Martin? Still [...]
IGD: Padres vs Red Sox (23 Jun 07)
Game #73 time: 7:05 p.m. PT tv: 4SD sp: Chris Young (6-3, 2.26) vs Tim Wakefield (7-7, 4.18) pre: Padres.com, SI.com Tough loss Friday night. If you’re looking for a bright spot, it’s that the Padres’ #3 starter was able to largely neutralize a very powerful offense. No, that doesn’t make me feel much better [...]
Another City, Another Series Win
Good to see the boys wrap up the road trip with a couple of wins in Chicago. Even better to see Mike Cameron playing well again. Since May 1, he’s batting .288/.341/.532. That’s more like it. The fight on Saturday? I’ll be honest; I hate that aspect of professional sports — nobody walks away from [...]
IGD: Padres @ Cubs (16 Jun 07)
Game #67 time: 10:05 a.m. PT tv: 4SD sp: Chris Young (6-3, 2.34) vs Carlos Zambrano (7-5, 4.89) pre: Padres.com, SI.com Don’t look now, but Chris Young is becoming more efficient with his pitches and working deeper into games.
