"That tells you they can't wait to kick you out the door," Peavy recalled with a laugh last month. "But we knew that. I knew that I had no chance of staying with the Padres. That's a bad feeling to have as a player, and as a player that's spent eight years of his life in one spot." San Diego will pay him $500,000 this month, plus $500,000 each of the next two Aprils. -

"I never look at tape during spring training," continued Gonzalez. "During the season, I’ll spend 20 to 30 minutes every afternoon studying the opposing pitcher and creating a game plan. I’ll take a look at everything available to see. "It’s preparation, all on the mental intensity side. I was taking it easy this spring. Sometimes I went up there just to take and watch pitches. Other times I went up to swing. "I was taking it easy in spring training."

I think a lot of San Diego." -Kevin Towers
Really good to hear that Donatelli is already getting back into action already.
I didn’t know much about the injury, but I thought he was going to be out for a while. Hopefully he picks up right where he left off.

From the U-T's Cabrera article:
Last year, three days deep in spring training, Padres manager Bud Black was picking up balls at the end of extra hitting when coach Rick Renteria advised him that the young infield prospect also wanted an audition in center field.
Awesome.
Efren
Is the man.

That and it is a treat
You should want to eat as many breakfast burritos as possible.
This is a terrible thing for the Padres. - Jerry Coleman
Say I was a Rays fan
I would have to have thrown down almost 100 burritos last season. I don’t think my stomach nor my wallet can withstand. Although perhaps if someone would like to join me on the challenge then I won’t round down.

That Ducksnorts article
Is damning. 1) Mojito either didn’t read the scouting report, or didn’t understand it, 2) Yorvit was insisting on some bad pitch calling 3) or Bud is stupid. I am guessing 1.

"i kinda feel like nevin and klesko were some fling we (the padres) had in the past and now realize were a bad idea and are embarrassed about."

but i really hope it’s only in the morning. i’m calling in sick on monday so i can go.
"i kinda feel like nevin and klesko were some fling we (the padres) had in the past and now realize were a bad idea and are embarrassed about."
I'm not calling in sick
I’m calling in Opening Day, but I’ll be there.
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
From weatherunderground.com's scientific prediction analysis
Medium range models continue to differ on track of the upper low and
associated trough expected to move through late Sunday into Monday.
The 12z ec continues to bring the upper low south off the coast on
Sunday and inland across Southern California on Monday…about 6 to
12 hours later than the 00z model run but very similar in track. The
12z GFS model is more in line with the earlier GFS model run with
the low moving inland across northern California Sunday night and
Monday with a trough swinging through Southern California. Either
way…Southern California should get some precipitation from this
shortwave. The ec model would favor a little more convection over
the area than the GFS solution since the GFS solution would keep the
coldest air associated with the low north of the area across
northern and central California. The GFS solution favors a stronger
ridge behind this shortwave for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week
while the ec keeps a broad trough over the area through middle week
which would favor unsettled conditions.
I’m not sure what the eff that means but I don’t like the wording “Southern California should get some precipitation from this
shortwave.”
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Trying to answer an interview Question
and since I’m not much of a drinker, thought this might be better asked to you guys. For some of you this will be right in your wheelhouse.

Oh, I'm trying to remember the Pittsburgh beer
Iron City, I think. I had it when I went there in 2008. Not very good.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

True.
I.C. light isn’t as horrible but still…

"jbox does not drink coffee, as it makes him clean house big time." ~Kev
I was also tainted
Because I really like Yuengling and its available in Pittsburgh and as cheap as I.C. So it felt like I wasted my time on I.C.
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
Coors light is known for their tall boys I think.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Savior could be Coors too since he's from the heart of the Rocky Mountains.
Jeez, I have him down for three different ones now.

Fat Tire could work then.

Tequila.
Because Everth and tequila have the same effect on me…

Agon
would be a Duvel
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
dude, that Duvel is truly some great stuff!
I think I first drank it around 6 months ago, and once that bright tasting tonic touched my tongue I felt as if I had seen the entity of creation, or my life’s purpose, to say the least. however, I should say that its initial impact lost its hold when I realized, that due to Duvel’s Alcohol content, I could only drink a couple of those bottles without ending up in a face plant.
Agon would be a warm glass of milk.

Heat - Arrogant Bastard
Eck – Mickey Light or any microbrew
Latos – Bohemia
AG – Downtown Brown
Kyle – Foster’s
Garland – Smirnoff Ice Watermelon until he pitches a good game
"I post like canned meat."
nice. Though I'd say its a toss up between Heath and Latos for the arrogant ale.
Ted Simmons looks like the mead type.
Enberg comes across as a scotch type of guy
Eck seems like he might have once enjoyed Moosehead
Corriea might down a few Red Stripes, now and again
I used to get a few tall cans of Busch from the Bodega as a night cap. 99 cents!
I like the Red Stripes for Correia one.
I’m not sure why.
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
red strip
for Everth, littlle package, some pop.
