Note that these reports will be on hiatus while I'm driving around California and Oregon. I'll be at the Beavers game on Monday and the Emeralds game on Tuesday. My schedule is very aggressive, but I'll try to sneak in some info, pix, and/or videos from the road. If not, they'll have to wait till I return... Triple-A -- Portland 7, Colorado Springs 2 Matt Antonelli: 2-for-4, BB Chip Ambres: 2-for-4, SF Will Venable: 0-for-1, 3 BB Nick Hundley: 1-for-4, HR Peter ...

Padres Farm Report (26 Jun 08)

I've got a new article up at Hardball Times on everyone's favorite first baseman from Eastlake High... Triple-A No games scheduled in the Pacific Coast League. Double-A -- South All-Stars 7, North All-Stars 3 Kyle Blanks, Chad Huffman, and Craig Cooper combined to go 0-for-9 with a walk. The other Missions representative, Matt Buschmann, worked two scoreless innings of relief. The game took place at Hammons Field in Springfield, which I visited on my way back from Cooperstown last summer. That was the day before my car got smashed. Good times... High-A No games scheduled in the California League. Low-A -- Fort Wayne 8, West Michigan 0...

Reserve infielder Marshall McDougall finished on the mound, retiring two of the three batters he faced en route to the Beavers' best pitching performance of the evening. Double-A -- San ...
