Nothing Night
I was up at Elsinore on Monday night watching Brian Giles begin his rehab assignment, so I missed most of the Padres game (boxscore | recap).

If you’re looking for a bright spot, it’s that the Padres’ #3 starter was able to largely neutralize a very powerful offense. No, that doesn’t make me feel much better [...]
