- Friar John's blog tells us that Former Padre Eric Owens is now managing Single A in the 'cho for the Angels. Was he the fastest Padre player ever? I like to pretend he was. I remember Dex always telling me that he was half man - half animal, a Manimal! I presume the animal half was badger.
- Ducksnorts details a list of infielders who pitched for the Padres over the years. I remember Ed Giavanola pitching like it was yesterday. I get giddy seeing non-pitchers pitch, the games already out of reach and it's fun to see how hitters usually can't hit them. I always wonder if a big leaguer could hit my 70mph fast balls since they are used to seeing 90mph. Once I throw my arm out after two pitches then my stuff would drop to the mid 50's and the hitters wouldn't know what to do.
- Remember when a cupless Peavy was almost hit in in the junk earlier this year by a ball hit back at him? "Yeah, I know, I don't wear a cup. Guess I have to start wearing one," said the 26-year-old father of two young boys, ages 6 and 3. "But, hey, I'm done having kids." I wonder if he knew that his wife was pregnant at the time and would give birth six months later.
- Speaking of The Hills... we weren't talking about The Hills? I saw Whitney this weekend in LA. Just walking past her I got caught up in the drama.
- You know what make me happy? Scan calling out Gaslamp Ballers, it makes me giggle with delight.
- I cannot wait for Rickey Henderson's speech when he gets inducted into the Hall of Fame ... as a PADRE! It will be nice that Vaughn will be inducted with him.

Ummm...
It makes you giggle with delight when Scan calls out myself for calling him out? A call out of a call out if you will….Well I’m Glad to be of service….that’s the happiest post I have seen you do in quite some time. You even used the word “giddy”.
A tear came to my eye when you referred to me as a Gaslamp Baller too…..I feel accepted for the first time in my life……

It's funny
that you guys are having a very polite and serious conversation as to whether he is a D-Bag or not. Good stuff.

omgz whitney!
are you gonna be watching her spin off show? and yes i’m talking specifically to jbox.
"i kinda feel like nevin and klesko were some fling we (the padres) had in the past and now realize were a bad idea and are embarrassed about."

I love you, Vaughny, but no
And jbox, I know you can fit The Hills under the heading of Uncommon Sport, don’t be afraid to do episode recaps of those, too.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
