Five years ago I was concerned about Jake Peavy’s lefty/righty splits, optimistic about Adam Eaton’s recovery from surgery, and drinking Eureka Black and Tan and MacTarnahan’s Blackwatch Cream Porter.
Two years ago I still liked Eaton’s chances to blossom into a front-line starter.

While rummaging through the MLB press notes for Friday night’s game I found this little nugget at the bottom of page 9: the Padres have lost a total of 241 games to the disabled list in 2007. Compare that with 600+ each of [...]

Offense in the National League has been steadily climbing throughout the season, from 4.42 runs per game in April and May, to a high of 4.98 in August. The Padres, meanwhile, have been all over the place, hitting rock bottom in July, when [...]
Fun win Tuesday night (box score). They’re all fun, though, aren’t they? Justin Germano wasn’t brilliant, but he didn’t have to be because the offense came through against defending Cy Young award winner Brandon Webb.

Actually, it is August and if the Padres can get any production out of the back end of their rotation, soon they will be headed to the [...]

It’s amazing to think that these two pitchers have combined to win 308 games in the big leagues. What’s that? Tom Glavine accounts for 301 of those? Yes, I know. I’m sorry, did you have a point?

Jake Peavy vs Woody Williams was supposed to be the gimme, but it didn’t work out that way. Maybe the Padres can return the favor on Saturday.
San Diego has the worst ERA (4.50) among NL West teams since the All-Star break. The [...]

Here’s an exercise for those who would jump off the Padres bandwagon during times of adversity (and for anyone else who might be curious). Which of the following describes San Diego’s last 10 games, and which describes the Diamondbacks’ last 10 games?
