Young Padre's attitude adjustment - SignOnSanDiego.com
"Shoulda seen me at 17," says Latos, still only 22. "My attitude was not the best of attitudes, really immature. I did things I’m not too proud of. Now that I look back, I was a complete idiot in high school, a complete joke. If I could take a look now at myself when I was 17 years old, I’d call myself what everyone else was calling me, and that was an (expletive)." -
insidethepadres: Another Beerfest
"It was here during Beerfest," Latos told me. "Some guy threw something at my car, and I had a nice ding in my car and scratch in my car that I had to go personally fix myself because I'm not going to stop. Obviously the guy was drunk." -
THE KEPT FAITH: I'm Worried About Jerry
"From there it became obvious that Jerry isn't what he used to be. He continued to randomly interject and distract from the game and I swear that at one point he said something that was slightly racist (slightly, like only someone who had been raised as a Unitarian would notice it)." -
New arm angle puts Webb in prime spot | padres.com: News
Ryan Webb admits he wasn't exactly thrilled when Padres pitching coach Darren Balsley came to him in Spring Training and asked him to work on lowering his arm angle in Triple-A Portland.
PADRES: Relievers credit strong bonds for success
"We've won at least 15-to-20 games because of the bullpen," said first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. "The guys we've got have really stepped up."

My hand is feeling better each day and I am able to do a little bit more without pain as each practice comes and goes.
MadFriars: Wynn Pelzer Moving Up The Ranks
"I kind of got a late start in spring training because of the hamstring injury, which set me back three weeks," said Pelzer, "It hurt me in getting my timing down, and I didn’t get in the work I needed to get in."
Unfinished Business: NL West Leaders!
Let me tell you, this is going to be a really interesting series. Hopefully my Padres come out on top.

Doesn't Mat park his car in the player lot?
As far as I know he does.
So this means a player dinged his car during Beerfest?

He still has to drive his car out on public streets, right outside the stadium

Love the Beerfest link's last line:
Probably a Giants fan.
Agreed.

I suddenly don't like "The Kept Faith"...
They normally have awesome things to say and I listen to their podcasts. But to call Jerry a racist and say Uncle Teddy sucks is enough for me to disown them. Jerry saying baggy pants look stupid isn’t racists… its an opinion. I am well documented in saying that baggy pants and flat bills look stupid. I don’t care what your race is… its a fashion opinion.
“The Kept Faith” I am ashamed of you and have canceled your podcast.

To be fair
He did not say that Jerry saying baggy pants look stupid was racist. He did not elaborate on what specifically Jerry had said that was slightly racist.
I do not agree with his overall take on the voices of the Padres either. I like having the old guys call the game especially. Gives baseball the feel that I think it should have.
And yes, the baggy pants look ridiculous, but at least they’re not running around the bases with their pants at half-mast.

I think it was something about literacy
and foreign players not being “as smart”. I don’t remember verbatim, can someone add to that?

No
I’m not a unitarian so it wasn’t racist to me.
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you? ◔ヮ◔
Uncommon Sportsman :: Absurdity in play
Oh! Yeah, I remember that.
He said something about how the young Latino players have a problem with….something. And that it might have had to do with the fact that they didn’t know English and weren’t as smart – I think the way he meant “smart” was that they were young and inexperienced, but my (apparently Unitarian) brain heard it and thought “hmm, that didn’t sound very good.”
hey guys
Writer of the Kept Faith post in question here…
1) Flat bills are the worst on fans and on ball players. They’re ruining the world.
2) I was not referring to the baggy pants comment when referring to racism, I was referring to the Latino players comment (again I don’t remember it verbatim, my girlfriend was in the car and she wanted to talk about things and her job and stuff, so I was a little distracted). And again, it was only vaguely racist, not outright.
3) I also love when old guys call the game and Jerry is the best, I believe I expressed that in the column.
4) To the guy who unsubscribed from the podcast, don’t, I’m not even on it. Those are the other guys and they mostly think I’m an idiot. If I ever am on the podcast I give you permission to ignore that one.
5) Ted Leitner does a horrible job of describing the action. He skips pitches as he rambles and when the ball is put into play he has trouble formulating what’s happening, listening on the radio is the only way I can follow the Padres and trust me, he’s frustrating. Plus he hates hockey, which I can’t stand for.

Leitner’s awesome and your needless hatred of fashion differences is what’s really ruining the world. Hate on, hater.

Without elaboration on the racist comment...
I was left to infer the baggy pants. Which may not have been fair, but then I only scored a 155 on my LSAT so that could explain it.
I suppose that there are people in the world who love hockey and hate uncle teddy, and people who hate hockey and love uncle teddy. I love him, more because I have heard his voice since I was a young kid listening to him call padres games in the 80’s. I always considered he and Jerry’s podcasts a part of the fabric of baseball, and certainly never expected (nor in my case even really desired) pitch by pitch, play by play… on that standard, yes, Ted Leitner is not good.

Uncommon Sportsman :: Absurdity in play
I love Leitner. Lay off. :-)
I love Jerry, too, but sometimes the obviousness of his commentary can start to annoy me (i.e. “The [Padres’ opponents] have runners on 2nd and 3rd. . .I’ll tell you one thing, they can’t afford a base hit here or it could be trouble.”), but you can’t help but love him.
As for the “racist” comment he supposedly made, I’m sure he’s no more racist than your average old guy who routinely says un-PC things not out of hatred, but because he didn’t grow up in an uber-PC society. I think it’s a little overboard to start implying he routinely attends Klan meetings.

My guess is that Cunningham DH's tonight.
Any other thoughts?

Can't think of anyone I'd prefer to have DH.
Maybe Tony Clark, Cliff Floyd, or Matt Stairs…but Cunningham will work.

I want Cunningham
Wild card thought: Salazar did play in the AL East before coming to SD.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Winner winner
Salazar is the DH tonight

Good article on Latos
Hopefully he delivers another quality start and doesn’t get a case of the suck in his home state.
My prediction tonight: 3-1 Padres.
Mat Latos is the real deal...Go Lakers, Pads, and Bolts

Love me some Mat Latos
But when you just get out there and play, like you’re in your back yard, it teaches you a lesson: Baseball’s fun, man.
