Padres have another sweep
(via Twitter / PunkRockPaint: Operation Whiteboard: Update …)
They entered the series 6-15 and were facing the defending World Series champion Giants, who entered the series with a 13-9 record. I think many believed this would be a sweep, just not by the Padres. They never blew the Giants out, winning by one twice and two once, but getting a sweep in the first place is worthy of an A. And they even had a dramatic victory Saturday, overcoming a 5-0 deficit and getting a walkoff victory in 12 innings. Well done, San Diego. You get a much-deserved A here.

quoted from Chris Young Signs With Mets After Passing Physical
A few days ago, Chris Young and the Mets agreed to a one-year contract. However, that agreement was pending a physical exam, which was no small hurdle for a pitcher with Young’s recent history of health problems. But worry no more (if you were worrying) - news is out now that Young has passed his physical, and has officially been signed.
C.Y. and Scott Hairston will now work in Queens. Who knows if Young will bounce back, it’s Hairston’s bat that I’ll miss more.

Padres now 0-9 without Jerry Hairston, Jr.
Jerry Hairston Jr. is out at least until Sept. 12 with a right elbow sprain. But the versatile infielder has yet to throw, meaning his actual return date is uncertain.“I feel helpless,” Jerry Hairston said Saturday.
“I believe in my teammates. Every team goes through trying periods. This is ours. It just hurts like heck being sidelined.”
Imagine not being able to get on the field, ever, to stop the bleeding, Jerry. Then you’d know how I feel.
