Sneeze lands Latos on disabled list | MLB.com: News
Latos said that he was feeling "fine, I feel great," before the Padres workout on Thursday, though he understood the cautious approach the team was taking.

"You've really got to take your hats off to what San Diego has done," Jason Giambi said. "Night after night, they've been unbelievable."

"I think some people outside the game are making a mistake by thinking the Padres are going to fade in the second half," said the former Padres manager during the pre-All-Star Game interviews. "When you get the type of pitching they have and play the game the way they do, you are going to have success."

Latos didn’t know exactly what his injury is, although he said it was "against my ribs." "Is it a big deal?" Latos said. "That depends on how it goes and how long I’ll miss. It’s sore. I am not going to lie."

"I'm not thrilled, because I expected us to be here," he said. "And I expect us to be at the same place at the end of the year. It's not something that I get excited about because it's not something that I did not expect."

Haha

All you people that mentioned Cliff Floyd here don’t make sense anymore.

No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

Hello Gaslamp ball

First congrats on your success thus far, I’m rooting for you guys to take the West. I’m a Mets fan and regular poster at Amazin’ Avenue. I’m also in a huge fantasy baseball league and have Latos, I was wondering who do you think is going to get a start in his place?

Also Verducci has no real proof about his innings pitched dogma that everyone accepts as truth.

Good luck with the rest of the season.

No starter is really replacing him

Our days off allow us to simply skip him in the rotation. If a spot start for some reason is necessary before he comes off the DL, they’ll give it to Stauffer.

Thanks,

Stauffer is already owned in my league, your bullpen is pitching really well it’s pretty incredible do you know the WAR of your bullpen has been 4.4 this year and thats including Gallagher who was -.5 WAR. That is impressive.

Something about the old road jerseys

that doesn’t look right unless it’s wrapped around a barrel of a chest.

And button that shi®t up. What are you trying to be? An individual? Such entitlement…

Can't wait

for Davis to be throwing a perfect game in the 9th inning, and then having some backup catcher lay down a bunt and beat it out for a single.

SCHILLING?!?

I hope the universe fixes this for us

and makes the son of Schilling come up to wrap a triple down the first base line.

I got so excited when I saw that Ben Davis article.

Pearlman’s my favorite writer. Do yourself a favor and check out his blog. I’d say over half of what he puts up there is completely unrelated to sports.
