Been a while since I posted, in part because I was out of town last week at a trade show in San Diego. Not a bad place to go for a working vacation, and a week ago we got to take in a game between the Padres and the D-backs. My dad's a rabid D-backs fan, beside which my fandom (or fanhood, as the ESPN ads call it) seems rather small. He brought his own logo-coordinated Arizona hat and shirt, having overcome his anger at their change in colors and logo, which seemed to him (correctly) to be an effort to boost merchandising sales.

Tonight it was Kevin Slowey, who outdueled Jake Peavy, though he didn't figure in the decision. Slowey allowed only four hits over six innings, and then the Twins bullpen did the rest.
Slowey retired 14 straight batters after a pair of singles in the first. Though San Diego has not been a good team this season, that's pretty good.
