1969: Padres Lose in Extra Frames at Forbes Field
July 24, 1969, Pittsburgh: Pirates 4, Padres 3 (box score) The Padres started the second half of their inaugural season much as they’d ended the first half: with a loss on the road. Unlike the 10-0 shellacking they’d suffered in Atlanta four days earlier, this game was tight and could have gone either way. San [...]

Padres Sign Latos, Beat Bucs
It’s not often that a 9-0 victory takes a backseat to a draft signing. Then again, it’s not often that the Padres sign a guy like Matt Latos. In case you missed it, the Pads and Latos agreed to terms late Wednesday evening. Jim Callis at BA has the bonus at $1.25 million, well off [...]
IGD: Padres @ Pirates (30 May 07)
first pitch: 4:05 p.m. PT television: Channel 4SD matchup: Chris Young (5-3, 2.70 ERA) vs Paul Maholm (2-6, 5.43 ERA) previews: Padres.com | SI.com As expected, the NL West is turning into a three-team race.

Opportunity Knocks, but It Can’t Come In
Not a lot to say this morning that hasn’t already been beaten to death. The Padres had opportunities Tuesday evening (recap | boxscore) but failed to cash in on them. Loading the bases and making a guy throw 34 pitches in the first inning is great; leaving all three runners stranded, not so much. David [...]

Opponents are batting .388/.449/.688 against him away from Petco Park. That’s sort of like 1942 Ted Williams. But hey, [...]

1969: Blass Blows Away Reeling Padres
May 22, 1969, San Diego: Pirates 7, Padres 1 (box score) Losers of four straight games, the Padres looked to turn their fortunes against Pittsburgh’s Steve Blass. The Pirates had other ideas, scoring two runs off Clay Kirby in the first inning. The Padres answered with a run of their own in the fourth, when [...]
1969: Padres Beaten by Moose
May 21, 1969, San Diego: Pirates 11, Padres 1 (box score) The Padres ran into a Moose on Wednesday — right-hander Bob Moose. After winning eight games as a rookie the previous season, the 21-year-old Pennsylvania native had gotten off to a slow start in 1969. On this day, however, Moose was in complete control [...]
