Bro the best thing they could of done was release him and his 7 million dollar contract. He was awful in center, and was batting .180. It just didn't work out for him or the Padres. Just to think they missed out on Fukedome (Sp) from the Cubs.

 

Bro I feel for you there. Are the fans still giving him the business? I have not been into baseball the last two weeks or so. I have started to watch the last two games again.

 

I hear you brother Kenny, but we could have signed Mike Cameron back for less who was great with the glove in center. Even though he would have missed the first 25 games to suspension, he wanted to stay here in San Diego.

 

It was going to be one or the other. We also have our owner that is right in the middle of a divorce in John Moores.

 

Looks like we were owned by the Cubbies today. Man the was an ole fashion butt whoppin.

 

Some of the rumors of possible trades should the Padres continue to lose. A name being mentioned a lot right now is Maddox (P). Iguchi (2B), Wolf (P) and Giles (RF) could be possible trades as well.

 

Sorry bro, he is streaky with the bat.

 

I am for bringing up Chase Headly for left field and Antonelli for 2nd base. Bring the kids up, and trade for some future talent now. I know it's early but this team is done. Someone here locally predicted 90 wins for this team.

Andrew Seligman, of The Associated Press, reports the San Diego Padres rank last in the major leagues with a .233 batting average and in runs scored with 140. They were shut out for the fourth time this season Thursday, May 15.

 

Towers not too happy.

This is very true bro. Phil Nevin who is part of the pre-game show on the radio was saying he believes Kevin Towers hands are tied some what on making trades, and trying to turn this around. I am not sure if that is Sandy Alderson, or John Moores going through a divorce that may be causing that.

 

The Padres got there bats going now, so let's hope the pitching can hang on for Young, and Peavy to return. Making a little push right now which is nice. It is great to longer be the worst team in the league.

 

Thanks bro. Greg Maddox got into Paul McNaulty's face when he got into the dugout last night. Paul lost track of how many outs there was, and a run scored because of it. Greg was telling him keep your head in the game as we are trying to make a run to get back into it.

There was fans calling into Double XX 1090 post game show today saying they should send Khalil Greene down to Triple A to work on his batting. He is a streaky hitter, and his defense is just awesome. I say get Khalil to work with Tony Gywnn, and get some help from one of the best hitters to play the game, and let him work through this.

 

Estes goes on DL with fractured thumb.

Jake Peavy, encouraged by how his elbow has responded in flat-ground throwing sessions, said he expects to pitch for the Padres within two weeks. "That's realistic, absolutely," he said.
Notes
-- Left fielder Paul McAnulty confirmed what a telecast of Friday's game appeared to show -- that pitcher Greg Maddux voiced displeasure to McAnulty in the dugout for hesitating on a throw to the plate. McAnulty had caught a one-out flyball with the Giants' Fred Lewis on third base, then hesitated before throwing late. It appeared McAnulty either thought there were two outs or forgot Lewis was on third. He declined to specify what he thought but said he "messed up," adding, "It's all on me, I take full responsibility. There are no excuses for that play, zero."

Chase headly batting avg up to .305 in Portland. He will be up in the big leagues soon enough playing left field, giving us another bat in our lineup.

Banks Twirls Impressive 6 hitter. Rookie righty for his first complete game.


http://sandiego.padres.mlb.com/news...ntent_id=2807344&vkey=recap&fext=.jsp&c_id=sd


SAN FRANCISCO -- It was only after the Padres sent their third pitcher to the disabled list in the last 11 days when manager Bud Black, tongue in cheek, suggested before Saturday's game that rookie pitcher Josh Banks throw nine scoreless innings.
The funny thing was that Black nearly got what he wished for, as the 25-year-old Banks took a shutout into the ninth inning of only his second Major League start before settling for a complete-game victory as the Padres topped the Giants, 5-1, at AT&T Park.

 

Justin Hampson reinstated.

Mark Prior will not pitch for the Padres this year.

Got to like how the boys are playing with Young, Peavy and Estes out.

 

Peavy is back, and the Padres are on a little roll.

 

Chase Headly on his way up to the big leagues. It is about time.

Baseball America editor John Manuel like what the Padres added in the amateur draft.

Update on Padres injuries.


http://sandiego.padres.mlb.com/news...ent_id=2970503&vkey=news_sd&fext=.jsp&c_id=sd


SAN DIEGO -- The Padres' Kevin Kouzmanoff and Brian Giles are both ailing, but it doesn't seem as if anything is serious. For Chris Young, there is still some work to do.
