On a Friday night on a game I was going to attend. I pulled out at the last minute and gave my tickets a way, and I am glad I did because I would have been yelling my head off to The San Diego Padres’batters, it was hard for my to watch t.v. with the Padres playing poorly and the only football game was the choke-land Raiders and the Tennessee Titans; Titans won 16-17.
For the baseball game Greg”Mad Dog”Madduxhad plenty to be mad about going 7 innings giving up only 5 hits and one run it was earned(the only run) it was one bad pitch by Maddux that was P.Burrell’s 28th homer of the year, also had 4 strikeouts.

The San Diego Padres found an unlikely suitor for lefty starter Randy Wolf in The Houston Astros. Here are the reactions: Paul DePodesta thinks Chad Reineke might be able to help the Padres soon. Richard Justicecalls it a stubborn move for the Astros, who “threw $3.5MM at a lost season.” MLB.com’s Jim Molonywonders if the Astros could shop Wolf in August if the team falls further out of contention. An Ed Wadequote reveals part of the motivation for the acquisition - the GM says the Astros get their foot in the door in case they want to sign Wolf  for the seasons to come.

A late move this afternoon as The San Diego Padresmade their second move before the trade deadline as for the second time they sell low. I didn’t think their first move was right when they sold Tony Clarkto a team we have to compete with, unless they don’t think they have a chance this year, but the thing is that no one is running away with it in the NL west so why would you trade a player known for killing you in big time situation!
So on a bitter note the padres made a similar move today, but they at least didn’t trade within the division but they did sell pretty low for a left-hand veteran that they could of used down the stretch.
Well it went like this the padres acquired RHP Chad Reineke from The Houston Astros in exchange for LHP Randy Wolf.
R.Wolf with the line of 6-10 4.74 ERA IN 21 games 119.2IP 123 hits 69 runs 63 of them earned 14HRs 8 hit batters 47 BB and 105 strikeouts. For in-exchange for:
C.Reineke a RHP starter for The Round Rock Express(AAA) the Houston apparent club, with a line of: 5-9 4.41ERA in 20 games 19 of them started one complete game 112.1 innings pitched giving up 112 hits 62 runs 55 of them earned 15HRs 35BB 100 strikeouts. one bright note he is only 26 years old so we’ll see what becomes of him.
