"It's kind of hard to describe." said Adrian, who was watching video in a room off the dugout when Edgar was beaned. "I saw it happen [on TV] and I just felt like I lost all my strength. I tried to get up to go outside and I felt like I might fall to the ground if I got up, so I just stayed in the chair."

"(Latos) has a chance," a Rockies evaluator told me afterward. "He has enough fastball, way, way enough. If he comes along with the changeup and breaking ball, he can be really good. I like him."

WTF?

Anybody else read the article from Martin Renzhofer of the Salt Lake Tribune? Even the title is wrong. “Old”? There are a million different things you could call our baseball team….but “old”? What?

San Diego tanked in 2008, losing 99 games, a season after winning 89. The Padres suddenly became old and weighed down by a number of huge contracts from players who are now not worth the money – like a Brian Giles, who is due to make $9 million while not hitting his weight.

“The Padres suddenly became old and weighed down by a number of huge contracts…”? Again…what the f**k is this guy writing about? And why is the Salt Lake Tribune sending a reporter to San Diego to write an article about our shitty baseball team? Are Mormons clamoring for more Padre news?

Nothing about this article makes a lick of sense. Nothing.
