Blum, Bocachica, and a Slice of History
Eight series wins in a row? Really, I had no idea. Greg Maddux brought his A-game on Wednesday night (recap | boxscore), and Geoff Blum and Hiram Bocachica led the offense en route to a — Say what? Blum and Boca-who-ca? Yep. Blum drove in four runs on the evening, doubling his season total. All [...]
IGD: Padres @ Nationals (1 Jun 07)
first pitch: 4:05 p.m. PT television: none matchup: Jake Peavy (7-1, 1.47 ERA) vs Matt Chico (3-4, 5.13 ERA) previews: Padres.com | SI.com I should be more fired up about a Jake Peavy start, but with the game not being televised, it’s a little tough.

Opportunity Knocks, but It Can’t Come In
Not a lot to say this morning that hasn’t already been beaten to death. The Padres had opportunities Tuesday evening (recap | boxscore) but failed to cash in on them. Loading the bases and making a guy throw 34 pitches in the first inning is great; leaving all three runners stranded, not so much. David [...]

Since then, however, his ERA [...]
Lots of Lumber, a Little Ballet
For the second straight start, Jake Peavy worked extremely hard in the first inning and then settled down to pitch a good game. I’m mostly encouraged by this. It’s great that Peavy is showing the ability to pitch to contact; maybe next he can figure out how to do that out of the gate: Jake [...]

Friday Links (18 May 07)
I hope everyone is enjoying the book so far (and spreading the word!). I continue to receive positive feedback, so I take that as a good sign. I’m now sketching ideas for the 2008 Annual; if you have any suggestions, feel free to leave a note in the comments or drop me a line. Meanwhile, [...]
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 | [...]
