Fun win Friday night. A buddy of mine scored us some sweet seats in the Toyota Terrace for the excellent price of free. Among other things we got to see Greg Maddux pitch a gem and Chase Headley knock his first homer in San Diego. My wife and I particularly enjoyed watching Headley and Khalil Greene homer, as well as watching Paul McAnulty battle in the eighth to work a walk against Detroit's Joel Zumaya and then fall over the fence along the right-field foul line to make a game-ending catch. We saw all three of those players when they were at Lake Elsinore (not at the same time), and it's cool to see them now contributing at the big-league level. The only ...

Before we get to the goods, one of our readers was at Monday's Hall of Fame game (you know, the one between the Padres and Cubs that got rained out) and took some photos, as well as a video of Trevor Hoffman playing catch with one of his sons. Pretty cool... Triple-A -- Portland 4, Tucson 3 Matt Antonelli: 2-for-4, BB, SB Peter Ciofrone (3B): 1-for-5 Chip Ambres (RF): 1-for-5 Brian Myrow: 1-for-4, BB Will Venable (CF): 3-for-4, 2B...
