FRIAR PHIL: A WET AND WEIRD GAME LAST NIGHT
http://philipracuel.blogspot.com/2011/04/wet-and-wierd-game-last-night.html
Saturday, April 9, 2011. A WET AND WEIRD GAME LAST NIGHT. Yesterday's game, that hasn't finished yet, was bizarre to say the least! It would have been a good night to bring back the big BEAT LA towels. Well after midnight and after 4 rain delays the game was suspended with the Padres in a tie with the Dodgers (2 - 2) as the top of the 9th inning was stopped with another wave of heavy rain. On the 50's show " I Love Lucy. I was saying that to myself last night. Luebke did a pretty good job of pitching unt...

FRIAR PHIL: PADRES HOME OPENING DAY 2011
http://philipracuel.blogspot.com/2011/04/home-opening-day-2011.html
Tuesday, April 5, 2011. PADRES HOME OPENING DAY 2011. It all starts today- well at least here at home. It's the Padres 2011 home opener, where we can try to get a little bit of revenge on the defending world champion San Francisco Giants today at 3:35pm. But before the game starts XX1090 is co-sponsoring the Opening Day Block Party. It was a real fun time last year and I will be down there taking some pics to send on my twitter account. On another note.the Dodgers are coming this weekend.and that...Last ...

FRIAR PHIL: HERE'S TO YOU NUMBER 42
http://philipracuel.blogspot.com/2011/04/heres-to-you-number-42.html
Friday, April 15, 2011. HERE'S TO YOU NUMBER 42. I really have nothing to say about yesterday's pitiful loss to the Houston Astros and this team denying Moseley a win by making the Astros starting pitcher look like Cy Young. If you missed it we lost 1-0 in the first game of four at Minute Maid Park. Hopefully the team will do better today. I need a break from writing as well today so we will keep it simple with a few thoughts about Number 42. I admire this man so much because I cannot imagine how hard it...

FRIAR PHIL: PADRES TEAM EFFORT BEATS ASTROS 4-2
http://philipracuel.blogspot.com/2011/04/padres-team-effort-beats-astros-4-2.html
Saturday, April 16, 2011. PADRES TEAM EFFORT BEATS ASTROS 4-2. Has got to be feeling good today. Before this road trip, at Petco Park, the guy couldn't get a break. he made contact with the ball and sailed a few of them but you all know Petco Park.it is not exactly a hitter's paradise. It was a good team effort last night and we came away with a 4-2 victory over the Houston Astros. Not a lot of time for me to write today but I just wanted to say that I have faith in the Padres team. RIGHT CLICK TO LISTEN.

FRIAR PHIL: NOBODY LIKES THE UMP- ESPECIALLY ANGEL HERNANDEZ
http://philipracuel.blogspot.com/2011/04/nobody-likes-ump-especially-angel.html
Thursday, April 14, 2011. NOBODY LIKES THE UMP- ESPECIALLY ANGEL HERNANDEZ. Before I get started today I want to mention something that Orlando Hudson, the guy who came through with a big single in the 9th yesterday to give us a walk off win against one of the best teams in the National League so far this year- The Cincinnati Reds, reminded me of last night. Who was very patient at the plate and drew a walk from the Reds pitcher in relief to give us our first man on base in the bottom of the 9th yesterday.

FRIAR PHIL: LOOKING ON THE BRIGHT SIDE AFTER 3-2 LOSS
http://philipracuel.blogspot.com/2011/04/looking-on-bright-side-after-3-2-loss.html
Tuesday, April 12, 2011. LOOKING ON THE BRIGHT SIDE AFTER 3-2 LOSS. It was a game, last night, that the San Diego Padres should have won had it not been for some bad luck and some good defense by the Cincinatti Reds.oh and a blown call by the third base umpire late in the game. We lost that game 3-2 and gave Mat Latos, who pitched very effectively allowing 5 hits and 3 runs, his first loss for his first start of the year. It was a frustrating game for the fans- me included. But as Orlando Hudson. It's ha...

FRIAR PHIL: PADRES PLAY WITH PASSION-BEAT LA 7-2
http://philipracuel.blogspot.com/2011/04/padres-play-with-passion-beat-la-7-2.html
Monday, April 11, 2011. PADRES PLAY WITH PASSION-BEAT LA 7-2. Late last night, long after the great victory of the San Diego Padres over the LA Dodgers. I received a "tweet" back from Padres new 2nd base wizard Orlando Hudson. Who hit a brilliant long double on a line drive to LA Dodgers right fielder Andre Ethier. At the time I tweeted a congrats to Orlando via my Twitter account. And when I checked it before I went to bed I saw that he wrote back. You know what Padres fans? Not only is he an asset to t...

FRIAR PHIL: PADRES EARN DOUBLE LOSSES LAST NIGHT
http://philipracuel.blogspot.com/2011/04/padres-earn-double-losses-last-night.html
Sunday, April 10, 2011. PADRES EARN DOUBLE LOSSES LAST NIGHT. Even the Friar looked stressed last night as the Padres finished up the game that was suspended in the wee hours of the morning and then played the regularly scheduled game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Either someone in Los Angeles put a curse on us (obviously in the form of Tony Gwynn Jr. who was a thorn in his hometown and former team's side yesterday) or the current Padres didn't really have the drive to win like the Dodgers did. Most o...

FRIAR PHIL: HERE COME THE DODGERS AND THEIR FANS
http://philipracuel.blogspot.com/2011/04/here-come-dodgers-and-their-fans.html
Friday, April 8, 2011. HERE COME THE DODGERS AND THEIR FANS. The LA Dodgers play tonight at Petco Park and after what happened at Dodger Stadium I am sure Padres fans will be on their guard. I certainly am not a Dodger fan but I don't hate the team itself or the organization. What I can't stand is some of the fans. Especially when they come to Petco Park and pick fights with Padres fans. So we will see what happens tonight. I am curious to see if security is beefed up outside the gates before and after t...
