PADRES: Padres miss Lincecum, but not another win
"There's a part of me that likes seeing the best pitchers in the game pitch," Padres manager Bud Black said, referring to Lincecum's absence. "We've been playing pretty good ball the last six weeks. It's sort of been a trend of this club all year. Our guys keep it going during the course of the game. We're pesky."
insidethepadres: Tuesday notes
The only starting pitcher to pan out from among the hundreds they drafted since John Moores bought the club in late 1994 were Jake Peavy, Brian Lawrence and Clay Hensley.

Good win

Haha, Giants. Then we’re gonna send out a long reliever against the Rox? Even better. Who’s the lions now?

Good for Mujica, though. Can we add some fricken’ position players so we’re not putting Hundley out there again? Looked like Headley. I mean MY GAWD.

Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔

At least when he retires

He can tell the story of the time he played Left Field and caught the final out of a win.

Cabrera, 2nd best SS in baseball?

Cabrera’s better than (Rafael) Furcal (Dodgers).

I'd say best.

But I’m biased.

one scout compared Blanks to Carmelo Martinez

Does being three times the athlete than Carmelo count for anything ? Also, Blanks lacks tenacity ? Blanks has as much resolve as any I have seen in a while. Ever see him sprint out of the box on one of his 440 foot blasts ? No tenacity ? How easy did he make the transition to the OF without any experience there, Simply because Seth Etherton owned him once or twice doesn’t mean he wholly lacks tenacity.
