XX Sports Radio: Bob Scanlan Interview (MP3)
Scan likes to give honest information about the team and let the fans decide.
Heath Bell chats with fans
Bell answers every question imaginable, from why he wears that beat up undershirt to why he doesn't take the field to the Saved by the Bell theme song. I have no further questions.
Padres' Gonzalez carries big stick, Gold Glove
Ryan Howard suggested that Adrian Gonzalez use a bigger bat and even gave him one from his own stash to take for a test drive. The rest is history.
Venable comes to club on hot streak
Venable was hot in the minor leagues before being called up, promptly goes ice cold with 0-4 and a dropped ball. Shawn Hill is throwing again even though doctors have no idea what's wrong with him. Drew Macias was hit in the right hand by a pitch, but the no bones were broken, he'll be out for a few days.
Rotation all shook up
Chad Gaudin will pitch Friday. Kevin Correia will pitch Saturday. Sunday and Monday will be either Peavy or Geer. If Peavy is still sick then Chris Young will pitch.
PADRES: Hairston on DL with bicep strain : North County Times - Californian 06-04-2009
"I think the worst and hope for the best," said Hairston, who is hitting .327 with eight homers and 23 RBIs. "Obviously it's disappointing but I'm not going to blow it way out of proportion because it's not going to do you any good to hang your head. ... I still think that I can have the kind of year I want to have."
Hairston's injury leaves Pads without pop
The only hitter more valuable to the Padres is Adrian Gonzalez.
Way Too Much on Stats that Don’t Matter :: Friar Forecast
Bill Center from the UT isn't using the new hip stats.
PADRES: Champs deal a sweeping rebuke
I was thinking that Young had a touch of the "flu" because he looked terrible last night. "They've got, top to bottom, a really solid lineup with few holes," said Young
Padres stung by Phillies team in stride | padres.com: News
The Padres are in awe of the Phillies
What's up: Padres coach Glenn Hoffman
How tough was it to see your brother leave the Padres on such bad terms and end up with the Brewers this year? "Trev was able to leave his mark not only on this franchise, but in the community and in baseball, it's mostly about remembering the good times. He had a lot of those with the Padres."
Twitter / Jenny Cavnar:
Jenny totally lost interest in the game and starts asking which celebrity she looks like. Ginnifer Goodwin is the clear winner.
Twitter / Corey Brock, MLB.com:
Corey has an Intern @AmyJBrittain who is now tweeting. First Intern duty remind Corey not to forget his flip flops, second duty learn twitter.

Love me some Ginnifer Goodwin

Who, coincidentally, has been linked to Chris Klein who starred in American Pie with Sean William Scott who happens to look like me. Ladies?

I pretty sure Bud Black and I would be friends.

Heath didn't answer my question

Now I’ll hate him forever, with a hatred that burns like a thousand suns. He ignored my question on purpose so he could answer dumb questions like “what’s your favorite TV show?”. Is it so much effort to answer a simple question like “Did you celebrate Gay pride week?”

"2009 Padres.....Yeah, we're still here.

by Boilermaker19 on Jun 4, 2009 10:32 AM PDT reply actions

Yeah mine wasn't answered either

I apparently decided to ask a legit question though unlike yourself. I asked whether or not it was known in the Padres clubhouse that Khalil had “an anxiety type thing”. The questions that he answered were some of the lamest I’ve ever heard though.

My actual question

was; given Petco’s pitcher-friendliness, is there a park that gives him the heebie-jeebies, but it was much more interesting to talk about his favorite classes in high school.

I asked about four questions

that were decent and actually about baseball. None were answered. i do know now that the guys will sometimes go to the movies together…wow, who knew?

"Get on board early," Black said, alluding to, what he feels, is a crop of up-and-coming players.

"I would tell those fans that we're going to play good baseball. We're going to play hard. We're going to have exciting young players..." -Bud Black

by The Kipper on Jun 4, 2009 12:39 PM PDT up reply actions

that's because...

they had some yahoo filtering all the good questions out and lobbing him the softballs… i mean wouldn’t it be nice if we could actually talk baseball with a big league pitcher and not about what video games he plays??
