Broken hand likely ends Gwynn's season | padres.com: News
Padres center fielder Tony Gwynn, who is having one of the best defensive seasons of any National League outfielder, is likely done for the season after he suffered a fractured hamate bone in his right hand on Wednesday. -
"Daily Update: Aug. 19 -- What after Gwynn?" by Padres Scorecard
But Gwynn's loss is going to weaken the Padres options in the outfield as well as the overall team defense. Padres manager Bud Black said Thursday that Will Venable and Scott Hairston might now spell Denorfia in center. Neither is the defender than Denorfia is. -
PADRES NOTES: Gwynn may be done for year; Gerut signed
Recently, Chris Denorfia and his strong bat had been taking playing time away from Gwynn, who has struggled at the plate throughout the season. But Gwynn is valuable on a team whose success is predicated on run prevention. -

Heath Bell's
Red-Assedness knows no bounds….Get a grip Heath it’s only one soccer game, I doubt the grounds crew is going to be stumped on how to put a pitcher’s mound back together again. And if the Padres organization gets cash from it well then great. I just hope all the security guards confiscate all the smoke bombs, road flares, and M80s that are the standard issue “accoutrement” for soccer fans.

"Accoutrement" is one of my favorite words.

I'm much too lazy to look it up properly
but I think the story involved the stage getting set up for an awards ceremony. When realizing the damage it caused, the concert got scrapped.

CBS Sports touches on the "Latos Limit"

Said Latos: “If it does come down to them wanting to shut me down after 170, 180 innings, believe me, I’ll be in Buddy’s office pleading my case as hard as possible. Not for me. For my teammates. I enjoy pitching for these guys. It’s literally the highlight of my day to be here every day.”

Not in a playoff run

Can someone give me
some upbeat news regarding the loss of Gwynn (at least for a month)…
CF is kind of an important position for a defensive/pitching team that plays in PETCO on a regular basis. I haven’t seen a lot of Denorfia so far, but I have seen a lot of Gwynn, and those 1 run games that we like to win are often decided based on a spectacular defensive play up the middle or in the OF.
One theory I just came up with
is that the one-run games won’t happen as much since our offense has been scoring more with the additions of Tejada and Ludwick, and will continue as such when rosters expand

Why not Durango?
The main determinant of outfield defense is speed, which he’s got in spades. I don’t trust him with the bat, but who cares? I never trusted Tony with his.
He may not be the best in the terms of holding runners with his arm (making a player think twice about going from first to third on a single, etc.), but what matters is running down those line drives and catching them. He should be okay.
IIRC, scouts said a few seasons ago that Durango took bad routes to fly balls
Things might be different now, though, or maybe my memory is making stuff up (I can’t find a scouting report on his fielding right now).
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
Bad routes?
As in, not straight?
(Imagines Durango spinning around in circles as he makes his way towards a fly ball)
Kidding aside, it could be a detriment, but it could be fixed by now. And, going the way the season is going, I see no reason to see the glass as anything other than half-full.
He did it earlier this season
i wanna say it was during the series the dodgers swept us.
