Three things:
Carlos Ruiz is an idiot. Thanks for lighting a fire under the team’s collective posterior. Here’s hoping Marcus Giles is okay.
Great response by the Padres. Embarrassing the opposition in its home park with a 14-3 whooping is sweet revenge.

Have you seen my command? Hi, this is Clay Hensley, pitcher for the San Diego Padres. I used to throw a wicked sinker, break bats, get hit in the back of the head by them, [...]

Hello, offense. Don’t look now, but for the first time in more than 6 years, the Padres have scored at least 11 runs in consecutive games.
The last time that happened was April 7 and 8, 2001, when the [...]

After suffering their first series loss of 2007, the Padres head to Chicago for two with the Cubs. Clay Hensley starts for the Pads in the opener. Pay no attention to his poor numbers to [...]
Once again, there isn’t a lot of quit in this team and I like that. After spotting the Giants a 6-0 lead, the Padres darned near came back and won on Tuesday night (recap | box score). If not for a bizarre second inning that saw Marcus Giles muff a grounder, Mike Cameron lose a [...]

We’re seven games into the season, and already the Padres have played in four one-run contests. In fact, they’ve played in four straight, winning the last three. Get used to it, folks; this is how [...]

Sweep? Sure, that’d be nice.
. . .
Marcus Giles has swung at 58% of the pitches he’s seen over the Padres’ first two games this year. It’s a small sample, but for his career, he’s at [...]
Right-hander Clay Hensley served up a solo homer to Milwaukee’s J.J. Hardy but otherwise pitched a gem on Wednesday. Among other things, Hensley walked none over six innings at Peoria — always a good sign. Quoth skipper Bud Black: “His mound presence was great. He was in control. He moved the ball in and out [...]
