  1. Sometimes San Diego is so embarrassing. See, e.g., the U-T's treatment of @TimSullivan714: bit.ly/L2wr95
  2. A nation weeps. RT @wezen_ball: So the Dbacks and Padres played a Sunday afternoon game yesterday and neither team showed it on tv? wow.
  3. @RDavidK My suspicion is that his best days are behind him.
  4. Also bummed that Carlos Quentin is tied for third in home runs for #Padres despite having only 22 plate appearances.
  5. Bummed that my preseason concerns about Luke Gregerson appear to have been well-founded.
  6. I do think the #Padres have a good chance to repay the #Cubs by drafting right in front of them next year. #FalseOptimism
  7. @BradleyAnkrom I'm not really that worried. They do have Kip Wells and Jason Marquis waiting in the wings.
  8. Anyway, never mind the draft. I'm still trying to figure out how the #Padres will survive without Jeff Suppan and Matt Palmer.
  9. @mickeykoke The Cubs seem to be on Almora. I expect them to step on the Padres' toes a lot.
  10. Mock draft from @Kevin_Goldstein still has #Padres taking RHP Kyle Zimmer: bit.ly/K9Q1x7
  11. He was kinda great. RT @HighHeatStats The lowest that Tony Gwynn hit in any 162-game period of his career was .290: highheatstats.com/2012/06/the-ye…
  12. Good stuff from @SamMillerBP on Bryce Harper's toughest at-bats, complete with awesome animated GIFs: bit.ly/K9Kiau
  13. As I file this week's article, it occurs to me that (a) meaningful conclusions are difficult to reach and (b) I love Peter Falk.
  14. Dale Thayer works a perfect ninth to preserve the 6-0 deficit. #Padres
  15. People are still invested in outcomes of #Padres games? This seems unhealthy to me.
  16. It went on the DL, bad hammy. RT @HitTheCutoff Dodgers hit two warning track fly balls down one in the ninth. What happened to the magic?
  17. @BradleyAnkrom Don't forget Jason Middlebrook and Stan Spencer.
  18. And written in Hungarian! RT @thesacbunt I still can't believe how much stuff on Padres.com is listed in Eastern Time.
