San Diego Padres at Cincinnati Reds, Jul 22, 2008 4:10 PM PDT
Everybody wants to talk Padres today, backyard swimming pool.
I think Peavy should hit in front of Luke Carlin and Khalil.
Go Padres!!

did you get in to Bud's stash?
i think their AAA team could give us a run in a 7 game series.

The Wolf is gone...
sad to say, Randy Wolf was nails for this team the first six, seven weeks of the season… though I am more upset by the D-backs acquisition of big Jon Rauch

true, and surprisingly so
i was ready to put a fork in him, but he’s still such a gamer.

I have to admit
Giles has been my favorite Padre since ‘04. He’s consistent and professional and a great clubhouse presence.

I have no problems with the crooked hat
express yourself. wear your hat crooked D-train, CC, the rest. iron the bill flat Chad Cordero, that’s a cool look. hell, grow big Bob Marley dreads if you hit .300/30/100 every year like Manny.

My wife says I'm wrong
Not a complete 2 yr wait – but there’s a ton of weeks in 2009 that you can’t get a cake because they are already booked. (All booked for 2008) And she says its a thousand bucks minimum for a cake.
She’s a big fan:)

dang a thousand bucks minimum
although they are amazing cakes

Greg's through with hard-luck losses.
He’s decided if he’s going to lose, he’s gonna earn it.
The boys will score 7, but Greg + BP will give up 9.

Buster Olney
Says a trade of Maddux to the Dodgers is very possible and that the team is shopping Brian Giles and Cla Meredith and gearing everything towards 2009.
by Drama on Jul 22, 2008 7:54 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Brian isn't going anywhere.
It costs another, what, $3 million to trade him? And we haven’t got anything better to replace him with.
by maestro876 on Jul 22, 2008 8:59 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
If they are shopping Giles
they aren’t gearing anything towards ‘09.
by Winfield's Ghost on Jul 23, 2008 6:14 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I didn't understand that part either.
I only mentioned it because it’s Buster. Buster is a good guy, knows the Padres well and is usually pretty reliable with his information. (He was the one that had the Wolf to the Astros story first and he must have had a damn good source to put that rumor out there.)
He’s no Ken Rosenthal or Scott Miller, but hey…
by Drama on Jul 23, 2008 6:23 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
It makes sense to shop Giles
Most valuable commodity they have right now. But if they are, there’s no way they are playing for next year. Trading Giles to me would mean getting a couple of good young players in return, which means they’d need at least a year to get ready.
