Gonzo's power surge brings steroids query : North County Times
Friday when Jim Rome asked him on a nationally syndicated radio show what he puts into his body. Gonzalez joked and responded that he was naturally powered by "burritos" and the only thing he puts into his body is "Mexican food." -
Good pitches are going, going, gone for Gonzalez
D-Backs pitcher Doug Davis said: "I'd rather walk him and set up the double play. It happened to work tonight." It's a great plan, Gonzalez the slowest person on Earth, you get him on base and a ground ball is an easy double play. -
Both Tonys getting a kick out of this Gwynn-Gwynn situation
"I can't wait to get a 'Gwynn 18' jersey," Tony Sr. said. "I'm going to walk all around this place ... It's going to be great ... That's my boy." Gwynn Jr. still takes something of his father with him every time he goes to the plate. The signature branded into Tony Jr.'s bats is really that of his father. -

Homestand Highlights | padres.com: Tickets
Get your oddly shaped Adrian Gonzalez Action Figurine at the game tonight. Gonzalez doesn't seem to like it too much, saying it looks nothing like him. He thinks that it looks like Eckstein's small bat, Kouz's upper body, Edgar's ankle protector and Hundley's big feet. -

There
have been soft rumors about Adrian’s power surge. However, most smart baseball fans are aware of his new, heavier bat. With his swing, the added weight more than accounts for the increased pop this year.
Look for more pitchers to follow Doug Davis’ lead and walk Adrian.

Agreed
Chrissy Russo is a lucky SOB.
