Friday Links (10 Aug 07)
Before we get too crazy here, I’d just like to call my own number and let you know that a recap of my trip to Cooperstown is up at Hardball Times. To the rest of the links: Hairston example of Towers’ acumen (San Diego Union-Tribune). I can’t help but think of Maxwell Smart: KT: Hi, [...]
IGD: Padres @ Cardinals (9 Aug 07)
Game #114 time: 5:10 p.m. PT tv: 4SD sp: Chris Young (9-3, 1.82) vs Joel Pineiro (1-2, 5.31) pre: Padres.com, SI.com, B-R.com I’m still floored that Joel Pineiro didn’t work out as Boston’s closer. With his track record, who could have seen that coming? Oh, wait; I think the answer is everyone. Naturally he will [...]
Stupid Money
David Wells is gone — the Padres are still figuring out what, exactly, to do with him, but he’s gone… I have to tread lightly here, because he was a popular player and I don’t want to kick a guy when he’s down. That said, this was a long time coming. Wells had coughed up [...]

IGD: Padres @ Cardinals (6 Aug 07)
Game #111 time: 4:05 p.m. PT tv: 4SD, ESPN sp: David Wells (5-7, 5.18) vs Braden Looper (8-9, 5.23) pre: Padres.com, SI.com I would totally rip on Cardinals starter Braden Looper here, but the truth is, David Wells has been even worse. Looper actually has decent numbers at home (3.51 ERA, .251/.309/.374). He also gets [...]
Trade Deadline Post-Mortem
I was on the road while everything went down, so let’s take a look at what exactly happened… Tales from Cooperstown Okay, here’s the deal. My trip to Cooperstown totally kicked me in the posterior. Don’t get me wrong, it was the trip of a lifetime and I couldn’t be happier that I got to [...]
