Our Sentiments Exactly

"We just continue to struggle with runners in scoring position."

Padres 7, NAAAts 3: Matt melts down, bats shut down, NAAAts go down.

Bowden pulls the trigger on pointless Snelling-for-Langerhans deal

"I know late in the game if we're in the ninth inning and [Austin] Kearns is in right and Logan's in center and Langerhans is in left...there's not a better outfield in this league defensively."
(Jim Bowden, via Washington Post, 05/03/2007)

Big Deal. Bowden trades Snelling for Langerhans.

No complaints here, but Langerhans has no connection to the Reds, so we're still trying to figure out the logic behind this one...and the offense-for-defense explanation just doesn't add up.

Enquirer Exclusive! Jimbo to Manny: "You're fired if you don't play Guzzie!"

"We have to remember we have Guzman for two more years. Guzman is ours. And we need to fix him."
(Manny Acta, via Washington Post, 05/02/2007)

Enquirer Exclusive: Jim Bowden threatens to Axe Acta if he doesn't re-install Guzman at short!

There's no other explanation for Acta's public backing of Bowden's $16.8 million mistake...Rift growing between GM and Manager?

(but is Jim's job the one that's on the line?)

Padres 3, NAAAts 0: NEWSFLASH -- There were some really good prospects in the Montreal system at one time. Lots of bad trades happened.

Time to move on, folks...

The Big Pattsy, or The Big Nasty?

"It's great to get a win and kind of get the monkey off my back. We needed a win, so that was good. But I've got a long way to go."
(John Patterson, via Washington Times, 5/1/2007)

NAAAts 3, Padres 2: Just like old times for Patterson
