Pitcher Injuries and Witchcraft
Given the plague of injuries that Padres pitching has suffered, I thought this might be an interesting read for any of us wondering why this keeps happening.

Friar 420 Freddy
I kind of had a gut feeling something like this would happen, the Friars taking a flyer on someone like Vasquez or Garcia. Maybe the Padres can pay him in sweet, stinky weed.

An Exercise in Fan-tility: Let's add free agents to the Padre puzzle
The hot stove is an exciting time in baseball, where anything can happen! Of course, you know, if you're a Padre fan and the majority of your free agent signings are bench players,...
Let's Talk Padres Signing: Abandon All Haren, Ye Who Sign Marquis
So it looks like the Padres have decided to re-sign Jason Marquis to a $3M contract. Despite the cynical tone of the title, I'm fairly ambivalent about the announcement. Last year was a bad year...

Joe Ross is about to get some noogies!

Let's invite Mat Latos to watch the playoffs with us!
As you've probably read/heard/seen/sensed, Mat Latos had strong words for his ex-teammates. Basically, he wanted to reiterate that he is in the playoffs while they weren't, and that they could...

Jim Joyce saves a woman's life.
1Why can't more umpires be like him? He owns up to his mistakes, and he saves people's lives.

Peavy's charity inspired by Darrel Akerfelds and his grandmother
3I know there are some anti-Jake people on this blog, but this is a pretty cool story about him. I remember reading how happy Peavy was to work with both Balsley and Akerfelds, and I'm glad to see that he kept that friendship despite switching teams. It's also nice to read something about a former Padre that doesn't involve "Matt F-cking Bush!!!"

O'Malleys Get Phil Mickelson Onboard
34The plot thickens... Who is the Dark Knight, who is the White Knight? Which is the hero we need? Which is the one we deserve? Or is one Bane? OH NO!!!

Spanky is movin' on up the minor league ladder
17He's now rockin' a Tin Cap for Fort Wayne. Not the best of debuts, but he managed a walk. Also, Rymer Liriano is really showing why he's a legitimate prospect. He is fast, hits for power, and gets on base. I'm wondering if a promotion is in his near future...

Dan Robertson of the Missions Hits for the Cycle
7He's not Will Venable, Cameron Maybin, or Kyle Blanks, or even a Padre, but props to Dan on his kickass game. Based on his celebratory gestures, perhaps he should be called "Shooter McGavin"...
