Padres Drop 2007 Home Opener
After Friday night’s 4-3 loss to the Rockies (recap | box score), I’m reminded of two things: First, losing stinks. Second, it’s a long season, and thank goodness for that. Pregame: Sushi and Flag Raising I met my wife downtown around 4:30 p.m. After a sushi dinner at Ra (don’t be fooled by the trendy [...]

Friday Links (6 Apr 07)
Tough loss for the Padres on Thursday (recap | box score). A sweep at PhoneCo would have been nice, but winning the series is a good way to start the season.

It’s Opening Day, Baby!
I really wanted to prepare a cool little preview of the opening series, but I’m too excited to think straight. The Padres kick off their NL West title defense this afternoon in San Francisco against former manager Bruce Bochy (who still got front-page billing in the U-T on a day when the big news item [...]
