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 ...
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, ...
Let’s take a quick look at what’s going
on down at the Padres’ lowest full-season affiliate, shall
we? Fort Wayne Wizards in a Box: Record: 52-50 Runs Scored: 472 Runs Allowed: 449 BA/OBP/SLG: .258/.347/.373 (Midwest League: ...
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 ...
Dunn hits Reds' first grand slam this season
in win vs. Padres CINCINNATI (AP) -- Greg Maddux
has never gone so long without a win. The 350-game winner had another teasing day on the mound Wednesday, watching his lead vanish one pitch after he left ...
Our intrepid Padres beat writer, Tom Krasovic, who
now knows what it's like to be smeared with
honey and tied down over an ant colony in the desert 162 days a year, calls this a 4-A ballclub. He's close. It's 3 1/2-A.
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?
"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."
Today the Padres sent P Randy Wolf to
Houston in return for minor league pitcher Chad Reineke.
Reineke isn’t a great pitcher, with a 4.41 ERA in 19 starts for Round Rock, Houston’s AAA affiliate. But, with a less than 1/1 GB/FB ratio, it ...
HOUSTON -- The Astros acquired left-handed pitcher Randy
Wolf from the Padres in exchange for Minor League
right-hander Chad Reineke, the organization announced Tuesday. Houston gets Wolf, who went 6-10 with a 4.74 ERA in 21 starts for San Diego, for ...
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
The San Deigo Padres currently have the worst
record in all of baseball, at 38-62. And yet
as of this writing they haven’t made any significant moves toward rebuilding the team, and are still acting as if they are trying to contend. ...
Keppinger double lifts Reds past Padres in 11th
inning CINCINNATI (AP) -- The first eight times that
Jake Peavy pitched against Cincinnati, the San Diego Padres ended the game with a celebration. An against-the-odds grounder and a check-swing single ...
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.
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.
Padres veteran outfielder Brian Giles really enjoys playing
in sunny San Diego. The 37-year-old Southern California native
loves to tan, and back when he played in Pittsburgh, Giles spent more time in a tanning bed than A-Rod spends in Madonna's ...
Today we traded Randy Wolf to the Astros
for RHP Chad Reineke. As discussed a while back,
given his contractual situation - free agent at the end of the year - Randy was a likely candidate to be traded before the deadline. The fact that the Astros had ...
the Padres found a willing trade partner for
left-handed pitcher Randy Wolf on Tuesday, sending the veteran
to the Astros for Minor League right-handed pitcher Chad Reineke
CINCINNATI -- The Padres found a willing trade
partner for left-handed pitcher Randy Wolf on Tuesday, sending
the veteran to the Astros for Minor League right-handed pitcher Chad Reineke. Wolf was 6-10 with a 4.74 ERA in 21 starts for the Padres this ...
By Tom Krasovic July 22, 2008 The Padres
have dealt left-hander Randy Wolf to the Houston Astros
for Chad Reineke, a Triple-A pitcher who has averaged nearly a strikeout per inning. A key part of the deal for the Padres is the potential financial ...
The San Diego Padres' Chris Young took one
more step toward returning to the club after completing
his second rehab start with the Padres' Class A affiliate in Lake Elsinore, Calif., on Friday. "I'd like to get out and compete on the big league level," Young said. "If it was up to me, that's where I'd be. I felt good tonight. I felt like I could have gone another inning easily."
"His beautiful tan was altered. I'm sure that
hurt him more than anything." Giles' tan suffered due to
injury
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 ...
More bloggers check in with second-half projections based
on the Quick-n-dirty Marcels utility. Sons of Sam Horn
blogger Hairps checks in on the Red Sox and MB from Friar Forecast looks at the Padres . Colin Wyers from Goat Riders of the Apocalypse projects the Cubs using both Marcel and Dan Szymborski's ZiPS .
It’s been pretty well documented … this team
has vastly underperformed. Heck, it’s pretty tough to play
sub-.400 baseball and not under perform. But the Padres were expected to at least contend this year, and certainly not many ...
A simple proposal for making blogs more actively
involved with Major League Baseball on a team level.
Robert Lara’s 5-game hitting streak ended Monday as
Robert went 0 for 3 in the Padres loss
to the Cubs. Robert did however take advantage of his one time on base by turning his walk into a run.
LAKE ELSINORE -- In two rehab starts with
the Lake Elsinore Storm, Padres right-hander Chris Young already
has re-established himself as the flyball pitcher he was before that devastating Albert Pujols single off his face on May 21. Some of the fly ...
it’s worth noting that the Padres have done
an excellent job of controlling the strike zone since
moving to Petco Park. This has coincided with the fact that — the first half of 2008 notwithstanding — they’ve done an excellent job of winning baseball games since then:
"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."
A day after his ninth-inning throwing error contributed
to the Padres' 9-5 loss to St. Louis, rookie
catcher Luke Carlin wasn't still petulant about the one that got away as much as he was resolute about taking something from the experience.
The Astros are engaged in serious discussions to
acquire veteran left-hander Randy Wolf of the Padres.
The Houston Astros are engaged in serious discussions
to acquire veteran left-hander Randy Wolf of the San
Diego Padres . Wolf, 31, is 6-10 with a 4.74 ERA this season. He began his career with the Philadelphia Phillies -- the former employer of Ed ...
