Friday Links (20 Jul 07)
How ’bout that Chris Young. Friday night we get to watch one of the guys he was traded for, Adam Eaton. For the record, his ERA is a tad higher than Young’s… Young helps stifle Phils with vanishing fastball (San Diego Union-Tribune). Geoff Blum scored the game’s only run Thursday night. Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels, [...]

A Win, By Definition, Cannot Be Ugly

Thankfully the Padres managed to pull off the victory Wednesday night (box score) in spite of themselves. Hall of Fame Meetup Tony Gwynn’s induction into Cooperstown is nigh upon us. As a reminder, we’re brainstorming ideas for a [...]

On another note, we’re still brainstorming ideas for a Hall of Fame meetup. Keep the chatter going. Finally, I’m driving from San [...]

Sure, it made sense at the time, but Arizona could use Hernandez [...]
Coffee, Jazz, Victory
