PADRES: New owners to alter in-game experience at Petco
Said Garfinkel: "Every game won't be the same. You won't come in the third inning and see the same feature and song every game. We'll try some things. Some things might work, some things might not. If they don't work, we don't do 'em again. If they work, we won't do them ad nauseam every single day, but we will throw them in once in a while to see if they still work." - XX Sports Radio: Jerry Hairston Jr. Part 1 and Part 2 (MP3)

Padres official No. 1: 'I like the monk, but we need to diversify his persona.' Padres official No. 2: 'Hey, I've got an idea. Let's make him a Gothic monster.' Padres official No. 1: 'Great. How about Frankenstein?' -

The Greatest 21 Days: 1990 CMC: Bob Scanlan, Mexican Relief - 233
"You really have to want to stay in the game to go down there," Scanlan told the North County Times in 2006. "Some of the towns you stay in are really small, and it's a challenge just to find food. But it's similar to winter ball in the passion they have for the game. Guys play ball down there because they love to play baseball." (Hat Tip to Friars on Cardboard)
