Seriously! This team fooled me and has cost me a lot of $$$. They looked like a AA team in April and didn't look like they would win 40 games. They are a very competitive team despite ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS starting picthing. He has managed his bullpen well, and kept them playing hard despite the fact they were "playing out a string" after 2 weeks

The reason they were so pathetic in April is they had Kory Casto batting 2nd and he didn't even hit a buck 50.

Hey whormoan, I'll be in San Diego Friday. If you take me to Sea World I'll take you to Tijuana. Deal?

Sure! How do I get tickets?

Actually, this is a big weekend (Tony Gwynn weekend). Tomorrow night they are giving out free "Retro" Padres visors. Sat night they are unveiling the Gywnn statue at Petco. Sun is a day game and Kid's get a free bat and Peavy is pitching.

Your best bet is to go on Padres.com. Don't think the games are sold out yet. Or you can go on Craiglist San Diego. And there are usually scalpers in front of Trophy's restaurant right outside the ballpark an hr before the game or so.

I hate the freaking Nationals. How did this AA pitcher throw a shut-out?

I was a bit tongue-and-cheek when I at first made this post. But in all seriousness now, Acta truly deserves the award. Their starting staff might be the worst in the history of baseball and yet they put a competitive game together on almost a nightly basis

Oh yes...

Tonight he provided a ton of evidence as to why he should be manager-of-the-year...

Using Burger-King...not PH'ng for Lannan w/the bases loaded...BUT...NOT arguing that Vizquel was in the baseline, which would have been the 2nd out...etc...

Very nice job.
