"Struggles are going to happen, because baseball’s a game of failure," said Gonzalez. "I could be 0-for-30 and I could care less, because it’s baseball. I understand that this game ain’t easy. It’s tough. My mind is working, trying to figure out what I need to fix, but I’ve been through it in the past and I’m going to go through it again in the future. Why let it get to me?"
Padres stymied again by L.A., still in first - SignOnSanDiego.com
"I don’t know why," said Correia of his problem with the misfired pickoff attempt. "I had the split-finger grip instead of my change-up grip because I’ve been throwing the split. I tried to go quick (to first) and didn’t have my best grip on the ball. But you can’t do that there in that situation."

Blanks to the DL, Russell Back Up | Chicken Friars | A San Diego Padres Blog

Unless the Padres are doing it.
I just want to get paid to draw naked girls, is that so much to ask?
You don't know how badly

Cliff Lee is a beast...
I hope the Padres are ready for his devastating Curveball.

I hate any opposing pitcher
But Cliff Lee has an elegant, effortless style that I could not help but to admire last year. The way he carved up Dodgers in Game 3 of the NLCS in a 3 hit effort… nearly brought tears to my eyes.

He has had some rough starts before
but this one seems to be more severe. I think the Brewers are not even using him much because of it. I wonder if he is going to be released.
its sad to see a great player at the end of his career getting released
see: Jerry Rice.
HOWEVER, i am also not one to say that they should retire before they are damned good and ready. if they’re still good enough to get a roster spot on a professional team, who am i to tell them its time to hang em up??

I’m also headed to Seattle on Saturday night for the game. Wish me luck in these hostile territories.

You. Will. Love. It.
I read it once and I’m going to read it again soon.
I laughed and laughed and laughed.
A little dirty, a lot disgusting, but the funniest thing I have read. Evar.
"Savvy Chicks Dig the Bullpen"
I started a few weeks ago,
but school got in the way. I can’t wait until summer so I can finally read something that isn’t related to a class.
And I am jealous. I wish I was going up there this weekend! I was going to go with some friends on Sunday, but plans fell through. Oh well. Next season perhaps.

I just realized I titled that “This Tuesday’s Guest…” I’m clearly retarded.

Luckily, yes they do
I haven’t watched enough games from there to know that fact.
Beautiful city, great transportation, rains like a mofo.

Damn nice park.
Not Petco…but it’s nice. Too bad it’s inhabited by the dreaded scum of our most hated rivals.
