Kouz Da Man
I’ve got a ton of terrible headlines playing on Kevin Kouzmanoff‘s nickname; I’m glad I finally get to use one. On a night when Jake Peavy was less than his usual dominant self (and merely very good), the Padres came back against the Reds and won a game they probably should have lost (recap | [...]
IGD: Padres vs Reds (16 May 07)
first pitch: 7:05 p.m. PT television: Channel 4SD matchup: Jake Peavy (5-1, 1.52 ERA) vs Bronson Arroyo (2-3, 2.87 ERA) previews: Padres.com | SI.com Gotta love Jake Peavy‘s last four starts: 28 IP, 12 H, 9 BB, 46 SO, 0.96 ERA.

Wells’ Best Not Good Enough
David Wells pitched about as well as he possibly could on Tuesday night (recap | box score). He hit his spots, mixed his pitches, and threw strikes 72% of the time. You can’t ask for anything more from the guy. A weak bloop double in the sixth off the bat of Ryan Freel got the [...]

Out with the Cards, In with the Reds
Do you suppose Phillies fans pine for Justin Germano the way some Padres fans pine for Jack Cust? After Sunday afternoon’s 3-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals (recap | box score), in which Germano shut down the defending World Series champions for seven innings and quite possibly earned himself a more permanent spot in [...]
