Open Thread, 9/3/2010: Padres vs Rockies

Gaslamp Ball — The blog has been super quiet lately. The bandwagon is crazy empty. I am writing this post via my iPhone and it is a bit of a pain to only use my thumbs. I do this for you dear reader. It is my penance for busting this slump to only work with my thumbs for the evening. In other news, I hope we win tonight. GO PADRES!!

Game Thread: 8/26, Padres vs. Diamondbacks

Gaslamp Ball — I'm missing my first Throwback Thursday today.  The streak ends here.  I'm pretty bummed about it.

Rib issue makes trade scenarios rather ticklish

Boston Globe — Has Jacoby Ellsbury become virtually untradeable as a result of his rib fractures? If the Red Sox had any chance of using him as the major chip in a package for someone such as Adrian Gonzalez , it would be hard to justify now.

Diamondback walk off homer spoils Padres 5 run comeback

Gaslamp Ball — via www.fangraphs.com View full size photo » Adrian Gonzalez's thrilling two out, two strike, 9th inning game tying home run was wasted when the Diamondbacks' Chris Young hit a walk off homer in the bottom of the 9th. Tough loss, but the Padres mounted a valiant comeback after being down 0-5 through 5 innings. Clayton Richard had a dreadful 4th inning. He gave up 4 runs including one on a wild pitch during an intentional walk. In the 6th Ludwick scored Tejada on a ground rule double.  Then Chase Headley singled in Gonzalez, followed by a sac fly by Nick...

Lilly really lifts chilly Dodgers, 2-1

Dodgers Thoughts | ESPN Los Angeles — Danny Moloshok/APTed Lilly gave up a solo homer to Miguel Tejada in the first inning, a single to Adrian Gonzalez, and nothing else. New Dodger starting pitcher Ted Lilly retired the final 20 of the 23 batters he faced in his debut with Los Angeles tonight, and Russell Martin's two-run, second-inning double made the outstanding performance count for a 2-1 victory over San Diego, ending the team's third six-game losing streak in six weeks. The only mystery with Lilly's performance was why he was removed from the game after throwing 87 pitches over seven innings, 65 for strikes. But Hong-Chih ...
