Welcome to the end of the week. Here are your links: Mailbag: Are the Giles brothers content? (Padres.com). Corey Brock answers more mail.

Get Luckier
The fact that we’re all frustrated by a 13-13 start speaks volumes about how far this franchise has come in a very short time. That doesn’t make us feel any better after another stupid loss (recap | box score), of course, but it’s something. I don’t have the stomach to sit through the game again, [...]
