A good in-depth piece on pitching coach Darren Balsley.
If you were named in the Mitchell Report, you don't really have anything to worry about.

7:40pm first pitch
Dodger Stadium security needs the extra time to beat back the kids seeking autographs.
Totally forgot about that
Now the time makes perfect sense.

All eyes on Peavy tonight....
Krasovic from the U-T has a good article on the b.s. that is the Peavy cheating controversy.
This part really stood out to me though:
Torre, who said Sunday his club wasn't going to push for an investigation, was dismissive of many inquiries about Peavy's stained paw, but Torre did tell reporters that as the home team tonight the Dodgers will have greater access to the balls that are removed from play.
What an A-hole comment. He fits in up there perfectly.
Kinda impossible to believe
this whol controversy. Like Peavy could win the Cy Young last year without someone noticing he was cheating. It's complete sh*t based on the Dodgers' need to come up with excuses for how anyone could be better than their darling Brad Penny.
Grrrrrrrrr.

Don't you dare talk about Brad like that!
Look at the soil around Des Moines, Stuart. You can't build on it; you can't grow anything in it. The government says it's due to poor farming. But I know what's really going on, Stuart. I know it's the queers. They're in it with the aliens. They're building landing strips for gay Martians, I swear to God.
Just because I love you
doesn't mean I have to like your boyfriend. I tolerate him (barely) for your sake, and that's more than you have any right to ask for.

This is pretty incredible.
Did you guys know we have hit NINETEEN straight singles?? Nineteen!
The Cardinals barely threatened until late in the game though they did manage to end a streak of 19 consecutive hits allowed by Giants pitchers — dating back Monday — without allowing an extra-base hit. The Padres carry the hitting part of the 19-single streak into a series beginning tonight in Los Angeles.
We haven't had an extra base hit since Bard's double in the top of the eighth inning in the series opener against the Giants on Monday.
We should have had two
The one where Kouz got thrown out at third should have been a double and Tony Clark hit one down the left field line that he didn't leg out.
And, I'm still waiting for Meredith or Bell to come in the seventh inning of April 4's game with the bases loaded, the score tied and Thatcher struggling.
Steals have hurt us so far.
Bill Center from the U-T takes a look at how stolen bases have hurt the Padres so far.
In 10 games, Padres opponents are 12-for-13 on steal attempts, although Padres pitchers have also picked off two would-be stealers. But three of those 12 steals have not only resulted in runs, they've resulted in game-altering runs.

Aren't you just
the bearer of all things fluffy and cuddly?

The article on Balsley
is a gem. It's well-deserved recognition of a man I personally believe is the pitching maestro.
