Daily Friar 5.27.12
The Padres amaze me in how they play ball. They can go out and beat a phenom pitcher, but then can make a normal pitcher look like Cy Young. Now alright, Johan Santana isn’t a normal pitcher. When he is healthy and is on his game he is great. However, the guy has been inconsistent for the past few years because of injuries. But yesterday he pitched a complete game shut out. This was a guy that didn’t pitch at all last season. The same was true for Adam Wainright and he did the same eact thing against us. It’s sad really, especially to be shut out as bad as we were. The game is on right now, let’s hope we can get some redemption. Here are your links for today:

Born and raised in San Diego and a Padres fan since day one. On that fateful night of September 6, 1989 when I came into this world, the game was on in the delivery room and the Padres beat the Astros and I have been forever engrained with Padre blood. I have followed sports my whole life and have written the Daily Friar for over a year and enjoy bringing all of you the news each morning.
