Orioles stomp Padres and take short series
The Padres came back to tie but the Orioles manhandled the Friar's bull pen
What goes around apparently comes around. Back in May, the Padres were in Baltimore to beat the Orioles in a two-game series. In August, the Orioles returned the favor to the Padres, beating them on Wednesday 10-3 to take both …
Orioles best Padres
The Padres inefficiency at the plate cost them all evening against the Baltimore Orioles
The Padres had won four straight series, but on Tuesday that came to an end when Baltimore came to town. The Friars offense couldn’t get hits when they needed them and the Orioles shut down the Padres 4-1, meaning that …
Everth Cabrera apologizes for 50-game suspension
Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera gets suspended by MLB, comes clean with what he did, but is that enough?
The apology from Everth Cabrera on Monday, heartfelt as it seemed to be - along with what also seemed to be an honest confession, isn’t enough. It probably would have been enough back in February when Cabrera was first implicated …
Yankees shut down Padres
In a pitcher's duel, the Padres couldn't score and the Yankees could so everyone got to see Mariano Rivera
Tyson Ross was good – in fact, he was perfect into the fifth inning before allowing the first Yankees runner, on a base hit by Lyle Overbay. But Ivan Nova was ultimately better against the Padres, who fell to the …
Padres easily handle the Yankees
Yankees closer Mariano Rivera was honored at Petco Park but never got the chance to pitch as the Padres distanced themselves as the game went on
Looking at the New York Yankees on paper coming in to take on the Padres Friday, it figured to be a close game, with starting pitcher C.C. Sabathia for the Yankees tangling with the Friars’ starter Andrew Cashner. That turned …
Damned Yankees or damned steroids
The Padres are unlucky that their series with the Yankees will be buffered by Commissioner Bud Selig
The New York Yankees are coming to town! What should be a stoic occasion – the first time that The Bronx Zoo comes to Petco Park – will be entirely overshadowed by an impending agreement between the Office of the …
Brewers tap Padres
Padres bats fail to flail as the Milwaukee Brewers shut down the Friars
The Padres pounded out fifteen hits on Tuesday and left so much unexploded ordnance on the field that could have been used on Wednesday against Brewers starter Kyle Lohse. All that Lohse did was shut down the Padres 3-1 and …
Brewers fall flat to Padres
The Padres combined good pitching and prolific hitting to flatten the Brewers again
When the San Diego Padres put it all together – good pitching and good hitting – they are a pleasure to watch. Such was the case on Tuesday when the Padres downed the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday, 6-2 at Miller …
Padres combination of Cashner and Guzman too much for Brewers
Andrew Cashner stumbled out of the gate against Milwaukee but Jesus Guzman made certain that Cashner would cruise home
Andrew Cashner wasn’t brilliant, but he was good enough for six innings and the Padres bull pen held firm. Jesus Guzman provided most of the key offense, and the Padres beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-3 on Monday in Milwaukee. Cashner …
Cardinals steal one from Padres
In a game filled with drama, the Cardinals take the three-game series from the Padres with the cunning use of thievery
It would be nice if the Padres could be more fortunate more often when it comes to that one unlucky bounce, but as manager Buddy Black is fond of pointing out, that’s baseball. San Diego lost to the Cardinals on …
Padres get even with Cardinals
San Diego hits enough and holds Cardinals hitting to split the series
Padres starter Edinson Volquez was erratic again, it seems to be an inescapable aspect of his pitching lately. But the Padres bull pen was solid like it used to be in seasons past and the bats were good enough to …
Padres continue losing ways in second half
The Padres lost to the Cardinals in the first game of a ten game road trip
The Padres bats were certainly awake to kick off the second half of the season on Friday in St. Louis, but unfortunately the pitching was fast asleep as the Cardinals throttled the Padres 9-6. The loss means that only the …
Padres could do something by doing nothing
What do the Padres do with the second half of the season?
The rollercoaster that is the 2013 season for the San Diego Padres will continue after the All-Star break on Friday, but what are realistic expectations for this club through September? There have been unexpected injuries, team slumps and streaks, and …
Mike Dee tapped for President and CEO of the Padres
Dee returns to the Padres where he teethed as a sports franchise executive under his mentor
http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/jul/18/49367/ You might have heard the name Mike Dee before Wednesday, when the Padres announced he would return to the Padres organization as President and CEO replacing Tom Garfinkel. Garfinkel resigned eight days prior. Dee was with the Padres under …
Giants and Lincecum offer Padres nothing
The San Diego Padres couldn't manage a hit against Tim Lincecum as the San Francisco Giants roll on
With Giants fans vastly outnumbering Padres fans at Petco Park on Saturday evening, perhaps it was only fitting that San Francisco would get their own version of a give-away other than a smart phone cover. Tim Lincecum obliged by tossing …
Giants stomp the Padres in bizzaro-filled game
Very little goes the Padres way in a strange and baffling game against San Francisco
There were fedoras, free to the first 25,000 fans to show up, a sellout crowd of mostly San Francisco Giants fans, umpire shenanigans, player shenanigans, and fireworks after the game on Friday night. There were also throwback uniforms from the …
Padres lose to Giants and are alone in the cellar
With a loss to the San Francisco Giants the Padres find themselves in last place all alone, naturally
The last few weeks for the Padres have been lacking, to say the least. They are lacking in wins due to a lack of prolific and timely hitting or a lack of effective pitching, or a lack of both as …
Padres drop game and series to the Rockies
After finally pulling out of their losing slump the Padres fail to keep any momentum
The Padres broke their ten-game losing streak on Tuesday, behind a strong pitching performance from Eric Stults. On Wednesday, it took a poor pitching performance to return the Padres to losing ways as the Colorado Rockies hung on to beat …
Padres get off of dime against Rockies
The Padres broke a ten-game losing streak, edging the Rockies
Tuesday was an eventful day for the San Diego Padres in many respects. First, President and CEO Tom Garfinkel resigned, then the club announced the signing of their 2013 first-round draft pick, Hunter Renfroe, and finally, the Friars broke a …
Padres President and CEO Tom Garfinkel resigns
In an unexpected move Tuesday morning, Garfinkel quits and Ron Fowler assumes duties
Tuesday morning, the Padres announced that President and CEO Tom Garfinkel tendered his resignation. No reason was given for Garfinkel’s decision. The announcement to media was delivered electronically and no press conference was announced as of Tuesday morning. “Peter Seidler, …
