Fellow Gaslamp Baller searching for place to rent…

Towers said the club will choose from among three Triple-A pitchers — Dirk Hayhurst, Josh Geer and Cesar Ramos — to assume Maddux’s start Saturday against the Giants.

The season is done. Hayhurst seems like a nice guy (and is a funny writer). I’d like to see him get a start in the bigs.

Take that, Axion!! Or should I say…“Take that, Judge Hardcastle!”

Ex-Yankee Irabu arrested over assault

Irabu admitted that he had drunk around 20 jugs of beer and was infuriated when the machine did not read his credit card, a police official told AFP by telephone.

The former pitcher grabbed the bar’s 22-year-old manager by the collar, pushed him against the wall and yanked his hair, the official said. He also threw ashtrays and beer bottles, prompting staff to call police.

I’m looking at the Dodgers top pitching prospects after those two and I have to say I hope the two guys aren’t any of them. Most of them are either really low level, struggling or both.

Better be two hitters. Pipe dream land says Hu would be a nice one to get. But they also have 2 other SS prospects in Ivan DeJesus and Jaime Pedroza that would really help our depth at the position. Jamie Hoffman, OF, can steal and hit, he seems like he’d be a “Petco” guy if there ever was one. Same goes with Xavier Paul, OF, but John Sickels calls him a 4th OF here.

Our disabled list has been a busy one in 2008.

By the time the season is over, the Padres will have lost more than 1,000 games to the disabled list.

The number today is 914 and counting. Presently on the 15-day disabled list are pitchers Chris Young, Shawn Estes and Bryan Corey; catchers Michael Barrett and Josh Bard; and shortstop Khalil Greene. Pitchers Mark Prior and Tim Stauffer haven’t played all year.

Or does the default avatar look like Barak Obama?
