I like our Chances
Posted on 23 Sep 2010 by Jeff Burke.
I really like the Padres chances of making it into the playoffs, let me tell you why. Now a month ago everyone liked the Padres chances when they seemed to be sailing into the playoffs, but now they are in a four team dog fight to either win the division or the wild card. The Padres are 9-20 since August 26th but they are still in first place in the N.L. West and have been playing better as...

Cardinals smack Pads, again
Posted on 20 Sep 2010 by Jeff Burke.
The Padres were obviously hoping things would go differently while in St. Louis. The Cardinals were not playing well of late and the Padres were hoping they could take advantage of it, in a huge four game series. The Cardinals roughed up the Padres pitching for the most part and ripped the cover off the ball against Latos on Friday. The Cardinals scored 14 runs on 19 hits and knocked L...

Swingin’ Friars

The Padres bats sure woke up in Colorado, which is a good place to do it. The Padres had 34 hits and 19 runs in the three game series. Besides the power display by Adrian Gonzalez on Wednesday the Padres are still struggling at getting the big extra base hit. Matt Stairs had a big two run home run to pad the lead in game two on Tuesday, which was huge. But still the Padres should be...

First Place Padres
Posted on 13 Sep 2010 by Jeff Burke.
The Padres are still in first place, and I'm going to say it as much as I can. While I still can. The Padres have twenty games left on the schedule and just one day off the rest of the way out. During the next twenty games the Padres have series with some tough teams, that are still playing for something. With the likes of the Giants, Rockies, Cardinals, and Reds. It is not going t...

clean sweep!
Posted on 9 Sep 2010 by Jeff Burke.
After losing ten straight games, the Dodgers came into town and the Padres pulled off a three game sweep. This is exactly what the doctor ordered. Now the Giants are two games behind the Padres in the N.L. West and coming into Petco for a four games series. The Rockies are four and a half games out of first and have the Diamondbacks coming into Colorado for a three game series. The Padr...

Enough is enough
Posted on 4 Sep 2010 by Jeff Burke.
This losing streak needs to end right now. For how well the Padres have played this year, it is hard to tell after seeing them play over the last two weeks. The starting pitching is not performing well, besides latos. The bullpen is far from perfect and not as effective as earlier in the year. The hits are coming from the offense but the key extra base hit here and there are not comin...

Say it ain’t so
Posted on 2 Sep 2010 by Jeff Burke.
The Padres have lost seven games in a row. The team is in a real slump. When the team hits they don't pitch well and when they pitch well they don't hit. Thatis how losing streaks happen. The good news is the Padres are still in FIRST PLACE and have a three game lead on the Giants. The momentum is definitely not with the Padres right now, but the second they snap this losing skid thin...

Four in a row
Posted on 29 Aug 2010 by Jeff Burke.
After losing the series finally to the Diamondbacks and getting swept by the Phillies the Padres have lost four games in a row for the first time all season. It would be easy to say the the Padres are not playing well and they have hit a rough spot. This is true if you are soley looking at the wins and lost column, but the padres are playing well they are playing Padres baseball the brand o...

Catch me if you can

The padres have had two very impressive wins over the Diamondbacks in as many days. With the Giants loss last night this now puts the Padres at a season high 6.5 game lead in the N.L. West. The Padres have 76 wins now one more win the the season total of last season. The Padres have the best record in the N.L. and the third best record in baseball behind the Yankees and Rays. The Pad...

Standing Strong
Posted on 22 Aug 2010 by Jeff Burke.
The Padres lost the three game series against the brewers over the weekend and the pitching was not very good. The first two games of the series the brewers middle of the order (Braun,Fielder,and Mcghee) really roughed up the Padre pitching. Not a huge deal because the Brewers line-up is very good and they do this to a lot of pitchers. The Padres had plenty of hitting in the series w...

Rollin, Rollin, Rollin…
Posted on 18 Aug 2010 by Jeff Burke.
The Padres have won nine out of their last ten games and have been roll-in over their opponents. Right now the Padres and their fans have to be thinking no team can stand in their way. They can beat up on the not so good teams and compete with the best teams in the N.L. They go into every series thinking they can win it. With Kevin Correia's last win he became the fourth Padre pitche...

I love this game
Posted on 15 Aug 2010 by Jeff Burke.
Baseball at its best, the Padres and Giants series has not disappointed one bit. A playoff like atmosphere in San Francisco, and two teams that are playing well and play the game the right way. These two teams are so similar and they rely on the same brand of baseball. Good starting pitching, clutch hitting, great defense, and lights out relievers throwing in the mid 90′s. The ...
