Padres News and Notes

Print- Peavy got shelled, but he had this to say "In my mind I am not far off where I want to be." In my mind I'm riding a unicorn bareback threw a dewey meadow with skittles falling from the sky, doesn't mean it's real. If you read the article even the Pirates seem concerned about Peavy. Buddy Black thought "his stuff was fine".
- You see how powerful Darren Smith is? He mentions the Padres Hall of Fame in yesterday's pre-game show. Today Dick Williams is elected into the Padres HoF. "San Diego holds a special place in my heart and I can't wait to relive those memories with the fans and teammates who shared them with me."
- Towers will promote pitchers from within the organization. Guadin is being brought up to start Tuesday's game and Geer will be moved back a day.
- Antonelli's knee is hurt. "Before I got the second cortisone shot, the doctor looked at me and said that in his 20 years of sports medicine he had never seen anyone with this injury," Antonelli said. Turns out that the doctor was blind! Actually that's not true.
- Moorad is gonna chat with fans on Wednesday. I still want to know who the 12th owner is in his ownership group. Somebody ask him that.
- I guess we didn't give the AP reporter scandalous enough quotes for her article about Pad Squad Carrie. I bet we could have won Miss USA with our boring answers.
- Chris Young better stop the suck.
- Gonzalez has the longest home run at Petco Park with a 458 foot shot into the bleachers of "the beach"
- Ducksnorts recaps the week.
- Friar Forecast wonders what's wrong with Peavy.
- Gaslamp Ball Flashback! A meet up at the Tony Gwynn Statue

How hard would it be to say on national television
“I was treated very badly by a celebrity blogger, but there are some blogs I do love… Gaslamp Ball”
Dear Jake,
If it is true that in your mind you are not far off from where you want to be, where is your mind? Chicago? Because it doesn’t appear to be in the game. Remember “I’ve got to be sold out for the team I’m playing for”? I’m starting to get an odd Randy Johnson feeling about you, Jake. remember back before Johnson left the Mariners and his performance was inexplicably slipping, and it came right back with a change of venue? Sell out for us, Jake. Sell out for us.
"2009 Padres.....Yeah, we're still here.

He really isn't
that far off. He had filthy stuff to start the game yesterday, he has had filthy stuff all season. He isn’t missing by much. It will probably take some slight mechanical adjustments to get him back on track. All pitchers go through rough patches, it just tends to be way more noticeable at the beginning of the season. I just don’t see the offseason trade talk having a lingering effect on him right now.
Peavy
Remember the rumors that Peavy was concerned Atlanta was giving up too much to the Padres for him? Worried that the amount of talent heading to San Diego would hurt the Braves chances of competing for a championship?
Well, at least that’s no longer a concern.
can you imagine
where we would be right now if that trade went through…..11-4?
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
It had nothing to do with Darren Smith
The Padres were saying before the season that someone was going to be elected into their Hall of Fame this season.
So Darren Smith isn't powerful?
Is that what you’re saying?

Seriously...
If Darren Smith reads that post, it may be the last time we hear from SDPads_1

Darren Smith is one bad motherf**ker.
Just ask Sandy Alderson. Darren ran his ass right out of town.

Great
We need to disassociate ourselves from SDPads_1 before Gaslampball gets taken down too! Get the banstick out quick!
Here's a novel idea....
just look at your pocket schedules where it says August 7-9 Padres Hall of Fame weekend under the promtional lineup. Geez maybe I need to start looking at that so I can “BREAK NEWS” to you guys. Hey I got a tip….on May 23rd 2009 the Padres will be celebrating the 1984 NL Champions. You heard it here first.

Actually
I saw he was a speaker at some event, but I forget what it was and I can’t find it now. But it wasn’t in San Diego.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

Glad Adrian has the longest HR now
And by a wide margin, too. Here’s to our pitching keeping that record for the Padres.

Peavy
“It’s a matter of making better pitches in those situations. I got two really good hitters out [Hinske and LaRoche] and let someone [Diaz] I have no report on get a hit there. It’s not fun. I seemed like I let the game get away from me after that,” Peavy said.
“…and let someone (Diaz) I have no report on get a hit there.” – What is that all about?
It's not an excuse
It’s frustration. He tried to beat the guy without having a clear strategy (because of the lack of a report) and lost. And then let it get to him. That’s like the opposite of an excuse. That’s being embarrassed.
Memo to baseball managers: You manufacture runs by NOT making outs, not by making them on purpose.
But why even mention the lack of a report?
There must be some reason. Something like that didn’t slip…it was aimed at someone.
Maybe
he isn’t best friends for life with Blanco after all.

I think that's Peavy
emphasizing that Diaz shouldn’t have been a challenge for him – someone that hasn’t had enough MLB ABs to have a report on…
Viva la hysteria!
