Padres Drop Finale in LA, Hope Chicago Is Their Kind of Town
Strange series up at Dodger Stadium over the weekend. I expected tighter contests. Instead, one team’s starting pitcher failed to show up in each of the three games. Unfortunately for the Padres, it was their guy in two of those three. Sunday evening’s victim, Chris Young, never looked comfortable and needed 84 pitches to record [...]

Padres Beat Cain, Giants
Do you notice any themes emerging early in the season? Here’s one: Keep the game close and then let the bullpen take care of things. It happened again Monday night (recap | box score). San Francisco’s Matt Cain took a no-hitter into the seventh. That inning, Khalil Greene smashed a double down the left field [...]
