"When it’s at the point where even I’m switching from "sell" mode to "buy" mode, you know this really could be for real. The 2010 Padres are contenders, not pretenders. Even the most skeptical of observers have to admit that at this point." -
Bullpen's month is one for record books | padres.com: News
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the Padres' relievers are on track to be the first in Major League history to throw at least 50 innings in a calendar month, finish that month with an ERA below 2.00 and with a rate of 10 or more strikeouts per nine innings. -
Gonzalez puts up Player of Month numbers | padres.com: News
The Padres haven't had a National League Player of the Month since May 1997, when outfielder Tony Gwynn won the honor. Could first baseman Adrian Gonzalez snap that long streak?
"The Padres have turned a glaring weakness into a strength. That’s a nice little trick, if you can swing it."
PADRES: Venable's clutch hitting leads to sweep of Marlins
"He came with the (splitters) again, and I was able to go deep enough in the count that he was forced to try something else and threw a fastball middle-in and I was able to get a good swing on it."
The Friarhood - Friarhood Radio 6.24.10

"We will see if the pain I was experiencing yesterday was normal and expected at this point, or if he has any good ideas about what to do to help it out."

over how many games?
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Unlikely
The NL West teams actually have scouting reports on our players. Ubaldo gives him a heavy dose of sliders down and in and Venable gets the silver sombrero. Our winning ways will have to continue with a different offensive source.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Silver sombrero or a day off
I also like how people constantly predict Venable for the cycle… At some point those “predictions” are really not “predictions” any longer.
There's no way #Budbot gives him a day off
He’s on a theoretical roll and he’s one of 2 lefty OFs and a righty is on the mound. It seems like a given that he and TGJr are go to play today.

Love the pitching matchup in this series
Correia as the lamb, then we LeBlanc and Richards against Hammel and Francis. Not that Hammel and Francis are bums or anything, but I think we have an edge to go 2-1. And if something nutty happens tonight………

Hammel owns MLB's second longest scoreless innings streak this season
behind Ubaldo, of course

Well
The Rockies have won 19 of 22 games Ubaldo and Hammel have started this year, if you include Hammel’s healthy starts only. So it isn’t their fault.

Oh Yeah
Well we are undefeated at Petco when we score more runs than the other team!
So take that Mr. Andrew T. Fisher, if that is even your real name…..

The six games between San Diego and Colorado will be interesting for sure
The Giants seem to pass out at the mere sight of Bud Black, but the Rockies have held their own against San Diego in past years, even at PetCo. In fact, no team has won more games against San Diego this year than Colorado, so as a Rockies fan, I really want to see the “for real” Padres. I’m just happy Latos doesn’t go in this series.

You got your Giants info all wrong
They don’t have problem with Bud Black. They are scared of the ghosts of Petco Park.

Correct.

How can I obtain Coors ghosts?
Mayhaps tossing empty Coors Light bottles at Pandas?

you missed this earlier in the season...
The Giants announcers were talking about the Petco ghosts… and were seriously frightened… not even joking. Several times they muttered “… damn ghosts”… or something similar.
Then, when someone went north for the road trip, we told them to take the ghosts to SF for a while, which they did.
I did miss this
Way to get in their heads.

They are in the wiki somewhere
They just aren’t a meme. They might be in the 2010 season entry.

Padres Industry Night. Sounds like a good deal and you probably don’t have to provide proof that you tend bar at any of the local places.
Ubaldo has a 4.05 ERA and 1.5 WHIP in June

You might also consider
6 of those runs scored 24 hours after he was sent home with the flu. He was pitching while looking paler than Clint Barmes. 3 of those runs happened in a monsoon in which his ability to grip the ball dictated a loss off 7mph on his fastball. So neither occurred with him at full Ubaldo.

Somebody call the Wah-bulance
Ubaldo had the flu.
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
I certainly don't expect sympathy
Just don’t fall into the trap of thinking Ubaldo is fully down to earth.

They had a funny line about that.

just to be frank
I am perfectly fine with him getting sick and having a very reasonable excuse for why during today’s game he will give up 10 runs in 5 innings.
Just saying, I’m cool with it.
Somebody go get the small pox blankets.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

or a bad burrito
Yeah, no problem with Rockies having excuses and getting swept.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
So Ubaldo can't pitch well with the flu or in monsoons?
Well, that’s good to know. It’s a little late for him to contract the flu. We also don’t get many monsoons here, especially in June. I wonder if a little June Gloom drizzle will work?
