PADRES RUMORS & GOSSIP
Video: Will Venable makes catch of the year so far
On Monday night San Diego Padres outfielder Will Venable made the catch of the year in Major League Baseball so far. Not only was the catch itself incredible, but it also saved the game for the San Diego Padres against the rival San Francisco Giants.
In the bottom of the 12th inning with the game tied 3-3, San Francisco’s Juan Perez strolled to the play with the winning run on...
Surging San Diego Padres Have Won 6 In A Row
Quick, which NL West team has improved the most since the start of the season?
Its not the Arizona Diamondbacks, whose pitching woes continue to drag them down, despite holding on to a slim lead in the division.
Its not the San Francisco Giants, who are still trying to prove their the same 2012 team that won the World Series.
You could argue its the Colorado Rockies, who after a...
A Point Of Contention
On Thursday, during the Padres’ off day, after they’d finished off a sweep of the NL East leading Braves, I started reading some Twitter musings about how few games back the Padres were from first place and how close contention actually was for this team. So I tweeted this:
Negative Nancy tweet: let's see the Padres get over .500 before we wonder if they are possible contenders...
Game 69: What You Need to Know

Clayton Richard pitched for his career yesterday and got the win in 8 fantastic innings of work moving the team to 35-34 . . . which is amazing! The Padres head to San Francisco to begin a series today.

The Padres, as No Team has Been Before
It is a fact undeniable that people don’t often talk about the San Diego Padres. The reasons for this, presumably, are numerous. The Padres haven’t been good for a while. They have a relatively small fan base, and a limited payroll, and they’re overshadowed by bigger deals up north. They play out West, for whatever that might matter. They don’t have any stop-what-you’re...
Padres' Everth Cabrera and Carlos Quentin may land on DL
The San Diego Padres are above .500 for the first time this season. They've been playing well and have won six games in a row. However, their ability to maintain that success will be largely dependent on how healthy they can remain. And right now, it looks like health is a real concern. At least for Everth Cabrera and Carlos Quentin.
Cabrera had to leave yesterday...
Another loss to Padres completes Diamondbacks’ sweep
Third day in a row, and it was the same result as the Diamondbacks lost to the Padres 4-1 to complete the Padres’ series sweep Sunday afternoon.

D-backs send Miley to hill against streaking Padres

Bullpen Sadness and Kevin Quackenbush News
Yesterday afternoon, as the Padres’ bullpen lost control for the second time in three days, fans started offering thoughts. They ranged from, “We want Luke Gregerson’s head on a stick” to “WHY IS JOE THATCHER EVEN ON THE TEAM????” I’m paraphrasing but make no mistake fans were upset, myself included.
Then I began to see the name of Kevin Quackenbush getting floated...

It happened in the top of the 12th inning as the Padres had bases loaded and one out. Padres...
