|---|---|---|

| Chicago white Sox | AL Central | $108 million (7th) |
| Texas Rangers | AL West | $55 million (27th) |
| Atlanta Braves | NL East | $84 million (15th) |

Top 5 Padres: Young ($6,375,000), Gonzalez ($4,875,000), Garland ($4,700,000), Bell ($4,000,000), and Correia ($3,600,000)
yea whatever…
2010 stats
| Player | GS | CG | W | L | ER | K | BB | H | ERA | WHIP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mat Latos | 16 | 1 | 9 | 4 | 29 | 91 | 26 | 70 | 2.62 | 0.96 |
| Tim Lincecum | 17 | 0 | 8 | 4 | 40 | 121 | 46 | 97 | 3.28 | 1.30 |
| Chris Carpenter | 18 | 0 | 9 | 2 | 42 | 105 | 36 | 109 | 3.16 | 1.21 |
and how does the national league leader in saves (bell, 23) not get on the roster… but broxton, who is 10th in saves, does (16)?
guess charlie manuel doesn’t care much about winning… arthur rhodes (40 year old lefty specialist), evan meek?
so you might be saying, “damn… joey’s a padres homer”
f off… stats don’t lie…
i’ll even give props to another snubbed player, pelfrey (10-2, 2.93 era, 1.29 whip) — happy?

what a difference a year makes
| Year | W | L | Runs Scored | Runs Against | Winning % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 | 35 | 46 | 310 | 405 | .432 |
| 2010 | 48 | 33 | 336 | 267 | .593 |
look at that runs against total — pitching has been HUGE this year… which has equated to national league-tying best record (atl)
padres leading the majors in the following categories:
clearly, the starters and especially the bullpen (“the pen-itentiary“) are killin’ it… adams and gregerson lead the majors in holds (21, 19) and bell leads the majors in saves (23)
offense, however, needs to pick things up
so obviously the padres are in the race… and a bat needs to be brought in… but who do you trade for a solid bat?
…i’m okay with mujica getting moved…
oh btw, i love stats…
40 more games until i clinch my bet with andy… added a feature on the sidebar for me to keep track — according to rob, it should happen on 9/9/10…
the stealing has kinda slowed down, but 2nd place (4th in league) in the nl in steals ain’t bad…
as of 6/23
stolen bases:
overall era:
bullpen batting avg against:
shutouts:
strikeouts
how can anyone hate on the padres? they’re the most disrespected team in the majors
it’s funny too — they don’t do anything that causes waves in the league… no guns, no drugs, etc… just playing some solid baseball
that’s why it’s comical to see blog posts like these:
btw, that’s just an awesome slug: all-you-padres-fans-who-have-your-panties-in-snit-because-i-wrote-earlier-that-im-far-from-a-believer-take-heartyahoo-sp
i know it’s WAAAAY early in the baseball season, but this has been pretty damned exciting!
padres are being very un-padres like…
as of 5/13

you could definitely tell that this was the inaugural year for the beerfest. TERRIBLE organization and many of the booths ran outta beer by 5:30p!
crazy packed (photo by geoff)
so dave, geoff, and i arrived at the ballpark and was greeted with two crazy lines to get into this REALLY small setup (it was right behind the kids’ baseball field)
so ridiculous — i really LOVED the idea of them having a beerfest, especially coincided with the brewers’ visit. however, i think the marketing folks underestimated the number of people who would be at this event.
in one word, it was a clusterf*ck… people were annoyed by how cramped everything was. it was discouraging to see people just cutting in line
we lost dave for a moment, but then i spotted him at the friggin’ anheuser-busch booth… i didn’t get outta work early to drink bud light — f that
i think about 30-45 minutes after we arrived, geoff and i finally got our first beers: “why ? not” american wheat beer by new english brewing co. got two of those each so we could jump into another line and get more.
this next line for green flash was a lot quicker… or was it just the beer that we were pounding? (btw, i really hate drinking beer like that — a microbrew must be enjoyed, not pounded… anyway. got to the front of the line and was the LAST PERSON to get a beer… hop head red ale (got two of these, but like a good friend, i gave one to dave… errr… sold one to dave)
we make our way to the hill at the park at the park and catch a small glimpse of the broken lizard guys (sans jay chandrasekhar aka ramathorn — booooo)
i needed to eat at this point so we go to one of the hot dog spots behind the batter’s eye… as i’m in line, my eye is caught by none other than channel 4’s jenny cavnar. i was caught between getting a hot dog and taking a picture with her… what did i end up doing? well… if you follow my twitter account, you’ll know that i didn’t get the picture — missed opportunties!
tho i did get this pic at least:
bastard gave me fleas!
in all… they can only go up from here… maybe reserve a bigger area for the lushes and have the breweries bring enough for the two hour event
the plus sides: i got my swarm badge and the padres won with a bell save… keep it rollin’!
padres have been playing REALLY well lately… 7 straight home wins, 4 straight series wins, a winning month, and on and on…
it’s strange watching this team… they’re doing things that are very un-padres like (especially looking at season’s past): picking off players (tied for first in the NL: 9) and stealing bases (tied for first in the NL: 23)
it all makes for a fun and exciting season
it’s always nice seeing a fangraph like this:
padres win probability for 4/29
tomorrow is clayton richard v. dave “angry” bush… i’ll be there — gonna get the shrek poster printed out so hopefully he starts. oh yea, and tomorrow is beerfest… i dunno how padres marketing managed it, but they got the broken lizard guys to appear.
…i will be asking for zj’s and liters of cola…
oh yea… i get a semi when i see this too:
nl west best, dodgers suckin' ass
and if you’re keeping track, the padres magic number is 141… ha!
Padres are tied for first
yea yea… i know it’s suuuper early to be looking at this sorta thing… but c’mon! they’ve been playing well lately.
it’s nice to see that they’re keeping up their mission of being aggressive on the bases… pitching’s been pretty solid as of late too…
scott says, "better out than in, i always say!"
andy and i will be at the ballpark today… andy’s got his sign and i need to get a mini broom… SWEEP IT, FATHERS!
keep it up, padres… i got $50 on the line
yikes… haven’t posted to the site in a LOONG time… work’s been keepin’ me busy… makes me not wanna look at code when i get home
anyways… i’m 1-0 in both fantasy football leagues (2nd place in points in both also!)… thank you, mark for reggie wayne and baby sproles — i HIGHLY doubt that i can keep this up (esp with mcnabb getting broken)
oh and wtf is up with the padres? as mugatu would say, “those padres, they’re so hot right now”
they’re actually winning series against wild card contenders (but then drop 2 of 3 to the lowly d’bags)
crazy game tho today — gotta love that one dood named adrian gonzalez
2010 — padres return to greatness… or at least get a winning record (i’d be okay with that)
football season’s almost here — nice to see darren sproles get a little (get it?) ad:
