Holy Herrera!

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 04:01:34 +1900

Well, that was unexpected. - I could ramble on about how great Yoslan Herrera was tonight, or about how terrible the Padres are. Even though tonight's 9-1 win was probably a result of the latter statement, I'll still talk about Herrera. - This is a wonderful story. Probably won't last long based on his other two outings, but Yoslan was brilliant tonight. Who would have guessed--0 runs in 6 ...

Pirates 9, Padres 1

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 04:01:34 +1900

You know, I don't mean to take anything away from Yoslan Herrera , who got his first big-league win today, or Jason Bay, Xavier Nady, and Nate McLouth , who all homered, but I have to say, this one was all about the Padres. The Bucs scored nine runs, yes, but they came against three pitchers who all have ERAs over 5.50. It's not easy to rack up an ERA that high in PETCO, but these three ...

The Padres are like a busty redhead - Gaslamp Ball

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 09:42:42 +1900

It's kinda like somebody asking if you'd like to see a busty redhead with alabaster skin wearing an unbuttoned Padres jersey draped across her bosom with a bat slung across her shoulders. That sounds pretty nice don't it?

Separated at birth?: Jerry Hairston and The Cosby Show's Elvin

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 16:04:44 +1900

If I ever have a son-in-law, I'd like him to be like Elvin Tibideaux . You know, a guy who could subserviently play the comedic whipping boy to my easily-bemused Cliff Huxtable self in the sitcom that will undoubtedly be my life as a father. Bearing a resemblance to journeyman ballplayer Jerry Hairston, Jr., however, will be completely optional. From the San Diego U-T (second ...

Healthy Maddux not getting the wins, but still having fun

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 19:13:00 +1900

But it's 2008. The 40s are not so friendly. Tom Glavine is on the Braves disabled list. Bad elbow. Retirement might beckon. John Smoltz? Ditto. Bad shoulder. We came here Wednesday to check on the third. See if anything was bad with him. Greg Maddux is 42, and nothing seems in need of an MRI, most especially his heart for the game. There's no cause to wonder if he's lost anything off his ...

The tan suffered, but Giles' bruise earned him locker-room cred

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:08:14 +1900

"I promise you, most guys would have been on the disabled list," pitcher Jake Peavy said. "Brian Giles is a flat-out gamer. The way he competes every day, it's a great thing for the young guys on this team."

"I personally have never been opposed to trading within the division," Towers said. "You can't have a fear of it or it will come back to bite you. If you have confidence in the input you're getting from your people and the player you're getting in return, you're fine."

The 30-year-old Gonzalez, at this rate, might merit some consideration for Rookie of the Year votes in the National League. Gonzalez had three more hits in Tuesday's 4-3 loss to the Reds in 11 innings to raise his average to .328.

Who Wants to Win the NL West?!

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:01:13 +1900

It seems as if no one in the NL West wants first place. It is truly sad when the Rangers would be in 1st place if after the All Star break if they were in the NL and they’re only 4 games over .500. No NL West team is above .500 as of July

Ed Wade Boggles My Mind

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:28:05 +1900

The Houston Astros have some sort of plan they are about to set into action. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but it somehow involves Randy Wolf. Maybe they're planning a hostile takeover of the NL Central.
