Towers gets a 2 year extension

We get two more years of great baseball and unbuttoned shirts.

"I love the city, the club and the people. I like what we're doing and the direction we're taking. I had a chance (three years ago) to explore other opportunities, and I'm glad it didn't work out.

"Money's not really an issue. If I'm doing this job, I think this is the best place for me to be doing it."

Geoff at Ducksnorts has a nice break down on Towers' trading history in his post. Head over there and check out the link, you and Gammons can salivate over it together.

No surprise that the Padres garnered the #1 NL West bullpen ranking in this simulation study. All 5 NL West teams use the same lineup and have their starter pulled heading into the 7th inning with the score tied at 4-4. The only difference between teams are their bullpen. Each team uses 2008 ZIPS stats as input data (Diamondbacks use CHONE), and all stats are park adjusted to a neutral park.

I really appreciate his honesty with this. A lot of guys would feed us a bunch of crap about how they were over it the second the game was over, which is a farce. As he says, it's next to impossible to forget something like that and I appreciate the fact that he can be truthful about it.
