I've only been here since 2001, but this is the 33rd time we've
had the call to put Trevor on the bus to the Dog Track so he
can join all the other Senior Citizens in cheering the Greyhounds
EVERY TIME he responds like a champion, like he did today,
with a perfect 9th inning. Good for Bud Black to put him right
back out there.

SAN DIEGO (AP) - Ever the prankster, Padres right fielder Brian Giles
came up behind the media scrum surrounding Trevor Hoffman and asked,
"What do you think about all the talk show callers and everything,
Trevor?" Hoffman just smiled.
Asked about the mentality that allows him to bounce back, Hoffman
said: "I don't know if I really have a specific answer for that, other
than the fact you have to have the courage to go out there and try to
get it done. There's not a secret recipe, It's going out and being
aggressive and trusting your stuff."
Manager Bud Black didn't hesitate calling on Hoffman for the third
straight game. "What my eyes are telling me right now is that he is
throwing the ball very well," Black said. "His delivery looks good,
he's not laboring, the ball's coming out of his hand, the velocity's
there, the changeup's there."
Black said he didn't worry about the outcome. "Let's let this season
play out," he said.
