Smells Like Padres in Here - Wednesday Edition
More kids are on the way. And Randy Ready was called up, too.
I have never heard of Dan Robertson, but he's apparently been good this year.
Wade LeBlanc makes his major league debut tonight against Hiroki Kuroda. Normally I'd be rooting for LeBlanc, but I'm also rooting for 100 losses. So I'll root for LeBlanc to give us a solid six innings and then have the bullpen blow it. That sounds good. Game time is 7:10pm PDT.

I'm on board with that
Plus Trevor can always blow it after Wade is out.

From Buster Onley's blog
He says that the team will likely decline the $9 million option on Giles, making for an outfield next year of Gerut, Venable, and Headley. I guess that would mean trading Kouz isn’t going to happen. Also, on Trevor:
“But they will look to keep closer Trevor Hoffman, the all-time saves leader and a future Hall of Famer. The Padres are expected to approach Hoffman, who will be eligible for free agency after this season, about a 2009 contract within the next couple of weeks. The 41-year-old Hoffman is earning $7.5 million this year.”

I'm on record
as wanting Trevor to call it quits after this season, but I also said that if he did come back I would support him 100%, so in that vain: Yeah Trevor!!

That will be a very cheap offense
Assuming Savior/Gey/Ven/Kouz/KG/Ants/AGo/Toxic Avenger offense, that’s only 3 players making 7 figures next year. They better spend a bunch on pitching. And by a bunch I mean CC AND the professor.

With this lineup
at least 110 losses. It will suck having to wear a brown bag over my head at Petco.

I hate to say it, but I'm less and less excited for next year.
The conflicting reports that we get from week to week… Giles will more than likely be here next year because a suitable upgrade can’t be found at a better price… but a downgrade can certainly be had at a better price. Welcome aboard the sinking ship, Will.
However, I do see us docking the boat on Optimist Island (thanx Ax) in 2011. I really, really, really feel like it will be our year. The youth movement will have settled in, Bud Black will be coaching the JV Baseball team in Longview, WA, Kahlil Greene will be one of the best seventh inning specialists in all of MLB, Gerut, Agon, Headley and Hundley will make the All-star team, etc, etc.

Since we're testing the waters with all of these call-ups
I’d like to see Randy Ready manage a few games. Give Bud “Not Quite Ready” some days off. Or maybe, since they’re talking about putting Kouz at first, we’ll let Bud First-Base coach, put Renteria at Third, Glenn could be pitching coach, freeing up Balsley to be hitting coach, and Wally can manage the team. Colbert can stay on the bench, ‘cause I’m not sure what he does, other than reach for the bullpen phone and fetch seeds.

Another reason I'm excited about 2011...
Oregon was the place to be if you’re interested in Padres prospects.
Apparently all the action is up here nowadays. Which translates into some good baseball at Petco in a couple of years. For the time being, It’s exciting to have some actual prospects (more than 1 or 2) in the system.

I went to the last to games in LA LA
And now I have this nasty cough. <cough, LA SUCKS, cough>
And since I am 2 for 2, I thought I would stay here and let them win one.
Make sure you are up-to-date with your innoculations, matto.

Welp
Rice probably wasn’t able to break camp with the Dolphins or Raiders or Falcons, so he has to make his money somewhere else. I mean, I respect that the guy loves the game, and feels that he could still be competitive, as well as his 13-miles of accumulated career yards, but his endeavors for making a paycheck that don’t involve running, dodging and catching are pretty pathetic. Stay in school kids, sports don’t last forever.
No wonder nobody likes you, Tuttle... everything's a (Pujols) damn debate.
