- Is Heath Bell always going to reference his theme song in interviews? "I love doing what I just did," Bell said. "... I blew 'em away tonight."
- Buster Olney says: "The Cubs were on the cusp of a deal for Jake Peavy in the winter, much closer than anybody realized at the time.

- Kaybee on her Padres Blog has some good pictures of Padres Fan Day plus an interesting conversation with John Weisbarth.
- Everth Cabrera is going to start a game at short stop vs. the Dodgers.
