Now, over the season's first three weeks, the Padres lead the NL with 17 thefts. Across the majors, only Tampa Bay and Texas (18 apiece) have more. "It's awesome," Gonzalez said. "It makes me want to get involved." -

Opinion: Through 15 games, the Padres are winning their way and sitting in first place; but the numbers show that fans should wait until the end of the upcoming road trip to get their hopes up. -

San Diego Padres at Cincinnati Reds - April 23, 2010 | MLB.com Preview
"We played good baseball all around, pitched well, defensively, ran the bases well," Padres manager Bud Black said. "I think our hitting will improve as we move forward, but I'm encouraged by the overall play of the group. There's a lot of great team play going on right now."

Credit Black for speeding up the Padres, who'd better make hay on the basepaths because they lack the firepower to outslug teams regularly.

aaron boone is a jack@ss
he gives not one reason why he thinks the Padres won’t be able to compete. He says we’re better, and have better pitching, but that we can’t compete.
i have finally found something i agree with the Fenwegians on.
F_CK YOU BOOONE!!!!!!!!

At least Eduardo Perez sounded like he may have seen the Padres play a game or two.
Boone sounds like he knows nothing about the team… “Richard, Korea, Lahdos”

Aaron Boone=Biggest Tool Evar
…with hair that looks like it got sucked up in a mail chute.
Boone played the hand he was dealt
When I saw this clip, I immediately imagined the pre-show meeting;
Producer “Alright, next on the agenda, in order to qualify the network for the FCC’s public Announcement requirement, we have to talk about a team that is not in the top 5 markets. Eduardo, you wrote that article about the Padres. Let’s cover them.”
Eduardo “No problem. They’re an exciting young team”
Producer “So, Aaron, that means you have to say they can’t maintain it”
Aaron “Why?”
Producer “Because that’s the way we do things”
Aaron “No, I mean why can’t they maintain it?”
Producer “Hell, I don’t know, I’ve never seen them play.Think of something”
Aaron “But….”
Producer “And we’re on in 5, 4, 3,…”

He definitely didn't sound like
he understood the words coming out of his own mouth.
"It's a long season and you gotta trust. I've tried 'em all, I really have, and the only church that truly feeds the soul, day in, day out, is the Church of Baseball." - Annie Savoy, Bull Durham
You'd think he'd be more informed about his home town team.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Am I the only one that feels
that if Adrian does get traded, the team will not completely fall apart?
I'll feel that way when Kyle Blanks
Is hitting at or above .260
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
It'll improve outfield defense
by getting Kyle Blanks out of left field.

I don't like to think about Agon being... well... gone
But does Cunningham project to have corner outfield power?
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
Don't discount the possibility
that the AGon trade would net us a corner outfielder with power.
by theodore donald kerabatsos on Apr 23, 2010 11:20 AM PDT up reply actions
I think we should ask for more with Agon
like Kauai.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Thats true... for the right package of players.
That will keep the Pads in contention this year and next… I would not be too sad to see him go.
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
but
if we got a whole frickin Island out of it..
Think about it. We put Kauai in CF, no one would get a hit. It would catch everything.
The problem is that Kauai would clog the base paths though.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Clog?
Or round them instantly?
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
good point
we could just tell Kauai to bunt every time she comes to the plate with the based empty..instant inside the park HR.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
I can discount it
Because I can’t think of a major league ready corner OF prospect that we could acquire in a trade.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Corey Brock
Picked some stupid “piss on our parade” questions from the mailbag.
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
In Corey's defense....those were probably the best of the bunch.
It’s frightening to think the people that submit questions to him have access to the Internets.
"I've got great references. Ask Drama."
I guess I have to start submitting questions to help him out.

Also
The CBS article is somewhat unfair to Alderson and KT, almost everyone with the club right now are products of their drafting or free agent signing, not Hoyers. Hoyer traded Kouz, which may have been the since greatest thing he did for the club in the off season. But this team is still primarily a product of what KT did.
Question… which draft was the first that Sandy and Grady were in charge of? Was it 2005 and they picked up Blanks, Chase, and Venable?
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
Yes
That was the first draft following the hiring of Alderson.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Sorry
I misread the question.
What I meant to say was: 2005 was the first draft following the hiring of Alderson.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
Carrillo, Ramos, Headley, Hundley, Geer and Venable were all drafted that year. So was Jon Link who has appeared in 1 game so far with the 2010 Los Angeles Dodgers. Prospects Michael Baxter, Neil Jamison, Aaron Breit and Jeremy McBryde are still kicking around in the Padres farm system.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

I hate ESPN and their baseball coverage
Padres are on a six game win streak and barely get any love. Meanwhile if the Red Sox win or lose, everynight it is front page news. I hate the east coast and their baseball bias. My dream would be to beat the Red Sox in the World Series so we could go tell the rest of the baseball world to go screw themselves.
Also, how long before Heath Bell gets all crazy and starts trashing ESPN? Hopefully we keep the winning up so Heath can start the talking. When do we play the Mets?

OMG If we met the Red Sux in the WS this year
I would be so excited I wouldn’t be able to stand myself… It would be the Ultimate Story line. Off season trade rumors turn into a a Post-Season show down… Student Hoyer Vs. Master Epstein… San Diego (Best Beer Town in the USA http://www.mensjournal.com/top-five-beer-towns) Vs. The Home of Sam Adams and Cheers!
PFOB
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
Red Sox in the WS
seriously not going to happen.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Don't give me reality!
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
BTW
Have you notice ESPN’s coverage..
Red Sox off to a horrid start…and it like “what changes are they going to make”, “no way they can compete”, “bridge year”, etc.
Padres in 1st place over the same time span “Meh, its early”.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
What would really be awesome is if we continued to win, made the playoffs, and made the World Series
and our players refused to speak with any ESPN reporters.

We would have to affix rocket jets on the Beer Truck for that
“It’s awesome,” Gonzalez said. “It makes me want to get involved.”
Then he could run over his own Chaser.
Just filled out my all-star ballot
Obviously had all Padres in the NL and went with non Yankees and Red Sox in the AL, except for Jeter because he doesn’t really annoy me.
So my question, I’m assuming Adrian will make the all-star team again even though 1b in the NL is stacked, but do you give any other Padre a shot at making the roster? Headley is playing all star baseball right now but who knows if he can keep it up. Does anyone think Venable has a remote shot if he can get his average up?

by mrbarneydangles on Apr 23, 2010 12:47 PM PDT reply actions
all our choices
will be manager choices. So its up to Charlie Manuel. I think he will select 5 OFs from the Phillies…so the the short answer is no.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Even if Venable is good enough, he won't make the team.
Usually with young guys/unknown guys/San Diego Padres, the only way they make the team is to have a stellar year and then have a bunch of articles written about how it was a shame that they missed the All-Star team. Then the following year they have to follow it up with another stellar season… then there’s a slight chance.

If Chase keeps lighting other pitchers up
He will be “voted” in on that “last chance voting” thing they do.

We got CY in for 2007
We can get Savior.
"This team looks dangerous, like a convict with a temper, nothing to lose and a switch blade." -jbox
CY's numbers were crazy in 2007
Without upping his dinger total, I don’t see fans getting wowed by Savior the way they were with the 6’10 giant will a solid W-L record and a minuscule ERA.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

If... and I know this is a stretch...
Headley is hitting >.350… I do not see how they could deny him.

Just went to Padres.com
and they have Bronson Arroyo as the starting pitcher in tonight’s game. I thought it was Cueto.
