Bugs & Cranks:
In my last article I wrote rather tongue-in-cheek about Brian Giles' proposed trade to the Red Sox, but in reality I figured his acceptance of the deal was more or less a formality.

Have MLB batters figured out Meredith? Or are the San Diego Padres using him too much?
According to San Diego Padres' manager Bud Black, this was a step that needed to be made to get Meredith's confidence back at the level that it was when he first started pitching for the club in May 2006.

Cole Hamels was as good as ever, picking up his first win since July 3 by holding the Padres to one run on seven hits in last night's 2-1 victory in San Diego. This is an easy summary. Pitching was the obvious story for the Phils this weekend, two-thirds good, the other third not so good. Hamels and Jamie Moyer, who pitched Friday night's shutout, threw gems, but credit also goes...

C'mon everybody, why so glum? I want you calling the radio stations, writing the newspapers, making huge signs to display with pride for our 2nd place team. Enough of all this negativity, they need our support. I know that's difficult after losing to the Padres 8-3, but the boos aren't helping, so it's time for change.

by DMtShooter, Five Tool Tool12. Losing hope that, after thirty some years on the job, the Phanatic will ever have good baseball fundamentals11. Convinced that ESPN put them on Sunday Night Baseball against the Padres just to mock their current offensive woes10. By reflex, still blaming Pat Burrell for everything9.

Jamie Moyer outdueled Greg Maddux to collect his team-leading 11th victory of the season, blanking the Padres over seven, three-hit innings in the Phillies' 1-0 win over San Diego. After an awful series in LA, the Phils finally gave us a chance to decompress, discuss a win and appreciate how good the starting pitching's been. Moyer, who's carried the team as much as anyone, ran his...

Hoping to snap a four-game skid out West, the Phillies visit the brutal 47-74 Padres for the first of three at Petco Park. Jamie Moyer (10-7, 3.81) and Greg Maddux (6-8, 4.12) have the ball at 10:05 ET. Best of the press notes: Things have gotten so bad that even the Phillies' pre-game press notes have taken on a somber tone by acknowledging the team's two-month-long offensive slump...
