Padres vs Mets 4/30/09

We had a close one tonight!!! The Mets had their ace pitcher on the mound and we only fell short 3-1. Alec pictched a really good game tonight, holding them to only 3 runs. Kris did a good job catching, too. If we could just get our bats going, we might have been on top tonight. We only had 2 hits tonight, from Alec and Gunnar. Let's go Padres, we know you are better than that, let's show them what we can do at bat!! Keep working and playing as a team!!! I have posted some pictures from tonights game.... I didn't get everyone batting tonight, but I will get them on Saturday! http://picasaweb.google.com/padres14/PadresVsMets43009?authkey=Gv1sRgCMnP5MSumaCy_gE&feat=email#

Padres vs PV 16 4/27/09

We didn't come out on top tonight, losing to PV 10-1. We will get them the next time....
It is always a great game when Joelton plays PV and tonight wasn't any different. Bryce pitched the whole game and did a great job. Gunnar had an awesome hit up the middle to center field. We had a few errors in the field that allowed them to score several runs. Unfortunately we never quite got our bats going ...... but keep practicing and trying and it will come together. If you practice, get prepared and work on what you are to do at your position and at bat, then the winning will fall into place. Below are a few photos from the game....http://picasaweb.google.com/padres14/PadresVsPV42709?authkey=Gv1sRgCOvb-aHeuJjZWg

Padres @ East Cheatham 4/23/09

Go Padres!!!! You played a good game tonight and came out on top defeating the Cheatham Chargers 9-6. Everyone was batting and running the bases like crazy! Too many great hits to list all of them this game...but some highlights were Caleb, Alec, Austin Poss, Bryce, Chase, Austin Johnson. We had some good pitching tonight from Gunnar, Alec and Bryce! All in all it was a good game for everyone and we have plenty of more games to go. I tried to take pictures of everyone tonight, I am still working on this so be patient. Hopefully I will get more and better pictures in the games to come. I will also have extra batteries on hand the next time too! Enjoy what I have though!

Padres vs. Coopertown 10

Rain, rain go away......well we gave it a shot. The whole night just didn't turn out like we wanted it to. We managed to get in 3 innings before the rain started again and ended the game. We never managed to quite get it together, but there is always the next time. Hopefully we will have better weather at our next game and can get our bats and defense all going together.

Padres vs. Lakewood

We won our 1st official game 6-5 vs Lakewood Saturday night. I apologize for not having photos of this game, but I had other team things that I was trying to get taken care of during the game. I will do better on the photos from here on out. I didn't catch everything, but I do remember a few things.....Alec pitched a great game, Mickey played a great game in a couple of different positions. And Garrett was hot at bat! Great job everyone!

Opening Night 4/16/09

It was a great night to open the season against the Yankees. I wasn't able to attend, but I heard it was exciting. It is hard to get into the groove of things when you are just playing an hour, which usually only consist of about 3 innings. But I heard that the Padres started out pretty strong, then we made a few errors and let the Yankees back in the game. That is what this sport is all about, learning from your mistakes and improving on them. So at the end of the season, go back and think about this 1st night and look at how far you will have come together and how much you will improve working as a team. The "game" or partial game ended in a tie, but that is better than starting off with a loss. Great job team and good luck throughout the season!!
