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). Actually, “missed” might not be the right word, but whatever. The Storm, meanwhile, held their “Nothing Night” promotion, which is one of the more unusual events I’ve attended. Basically, [...]
IGD: Padres @ Giants (25 Jun 07)
Game #75 time: 7:15 p.m. PT tv: 4SD sp: Justin Germano (5-1, 2.63) vs Tim Lincecum (2-2, 5.88) pre: Padres.com, SI.com Before we get to the game, I’d like to offer my condolences to Rod Beck’s family and friends. Beck died on Saturday at the chillingly young age of 38. I was hoping to say [...]
Some Pictures Are Bigger Than Others
Knowing that a Red Sox convention had descended on downtown and that our usual parking option was unavailable, we left our car about 2 1/2 miles from the ballpark.

IGD: Padres vs Red Sox (23 Jun 07)
Game #73 time: 7:05 p.m. PT tv: 4SD sp: Chris Young (6-3, 2.26) vs Tim Wakefield (7-7, 4.18) pre: Padres.com, SI.com Tough loss Friday night. 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 [...]
