Print- Here's some XX Sports Radio Interviews (MP3): Tom Garfinkel, HoF'er Tony Gwynn and Kurt Bevaqua.
- Friar Forecast believes we should trade Jake Peavy to get young talent and save money. Myself I don't care about the team's finances, raise the payroll back to $70m and get your talent that way.
- I sense that somewhere deep down, in a place where he won't admit it that Geoff doesn't like the Gwynn for Gerut trade. He's very good at hiding it though.
- Can we go back to calling Tony Gwynn Jr. by the name Anthony? I like it a lot better than calling him Junior. I love what he brings to this team, both on and off the field. Here's the story of how he became a Padre. He also scored the winning run last night by drawing a walk.
- "I know it's been a crazy 24 hours with a lot of speculation of what's going on," Peavy told reporters inside the home dugout at PETCO Park. "Right now, this [San Diego] is the best place for us [him and his family] to be."
- I'm seriously worried about Khalil Greene:
Greene admitted to feeling increasingly overwhelmed by his situation and did not dispute accounts that he has several times punished himself physically.
Several team members have expressed concern about the degree of Greene's self-punishment.

Agreed.
I still don’t like the guy, but don’t want to see something physically bad happen to him.
This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman

What if it's BDSM?
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔
Uncommon Sportsman :: Absurdity in play
went to the game last night, and therefore missed an epic OT
but lemme tell you, when Gwynn stepped in to the on deck circle, it was something special.
the applause started bubbling from the ppl in 107, then quickly spread throughout the stadium. i dont think anyone was paying attention to Hundley’s AB.
pretty awesome i tells ya, what a fun game to be at and be a part of.

I watched it a couple of times on TV to re-live it
The crowd noise didn’t come through to well, but you could see people were going nuts.

Do Bahá’í practice corporal mortification? I thought that was only in crappy Dan Brown novels.
Homeboy just needs to remember he is playing baseball for a living and enjoy it. I know he is struggling but maybe he wouldn’t get so frustrated if he just, i don’t know… smiled…
Anxiety from poor performance.
Seems straight forward to me. Not trying to sound insensitive but he is not the first player that this has ever happened to. It doesn’t mean he has to go all emo and break out the razor blades.
wearing black on the outside
because we feel black on the inside?

I thought he had a family member (parent) that was fighting a pretty difficult illness.
So, I think this goes a little deeper than not being able to hit a low and away slider.
Wasn't his dad a Vietnam vet?
and they joined the Ba’hai faith because he needed to come to terms with what he experienced in the war???
Maybe he saw his dad punch walls as a child and is repeating behaviors learned in his youth.
"Get on board early," Black said, alluding to, what he feels, is a crop of up-and-coming players.

Gettin' #6 down from the Petco OF wall ...
Hello GLB’ers … long time no see …
This post by FJ … http://padres.mlblogs.com/archives/2009/05/big_fun_ahead_padres_1984_nl_c.html … announcing festivities tomorrow (Saturday) night at Petco honoring the 1984 NL champs, reminded me that I’d hoped an event like this would be the stage for replacing the #6 on the Petco OF wall with a “1984” … to honor all those who contributed to that magical season …
It’s probably way too late … but I’ve taken one last small step by posting a comment to the FJ blog entry … and at ducksnorts … and at madfriars … and so thought I’d complete the cycle and post here also …
Sure seems like it could be done … most of us know it needs to be done … I’ve just run out of wherewithal to get it done … you got any ideas?
Ah, I miss the haiku's!!!
Well done, my friend!
Perhaps Garvey would be happier if we retired “198406”???
We're on the same page ...
Something just has to get done :-)
Here’s a picture of when I ran my idea by Steve Garvey … http://picasaweb.google.com/LynchMob98/Cooperstown2007TonyGwynnHoFInduction#5218537063708144002 … but, like I said, I don’t think he understood the seriousness of the situation …
I also tried to get Matt Vasgersian to help on this … he’s pretty passionate about the subject … but he really didn’t think he had any inroads … plus I assume he was protecting his image :-)
Im still waiting for the Padres to sweep the Dudgers
Then the “H” in “Think Blue” is coming down!
After that, the 6!
