"This is a historic moment: Never before have we asked multiple players to handle one Anti All-Star position. But there simply is no adequate way to put into words a major league team allowing 114 stolen bases in 132 attempts."

Paul McAnulty: Finally and mercifully optioned to Triple-A Portland this week, McAnulty has spent most of this season as Poster Boy for the bullheaded philosophies of Padres president Sandy Alderson, assistant Paul DePodesta and others in the executive offices who have made a shambles of this one-time NL West contender.

Maybe the Padres catchers have misinterpreted the rules of the game and are trying to beat the runner to the next bag in a foot race, to personally make the tag.
He’s right though, how is it possible to allow that many stolen bases?

My guess is the pitchers partied all night after McAnulty cleaned out his locker. And to think, the front office’s computers projected 90 wins from this bunch. Next thing they’ll do is hang the “Mission Accomplished” banner.
