Padilla reportedly shot himself in the leg at a shooting range in Nicaragua. He is currently not under contract with the club. I very much hope it remains that way, a hope I had before he Plaxicoed himself.

There is only one explanation for what happened tonight. Vicente Padilla and Chad Billingsley were simultaneously hit by lighting, exchanging their pitching abilities. That is why Chad has been so unreliable since the All-Star Break. This is the only logical explanation for this. No alternatives. Nope. (Associated Press)
By the way, in the context of believing Padilla is superior to Billingsley, I find those mentality accusations rather humorous, because it’s not as if Padilla is some rock solid mental behemoth that we can all depend on or something.

So I get it. And I don’t mind it that much. I just can’t wrap my head around the fact that Vicente Padilla is the Game 3 starter in the NLDS. Not Chad Billingsley. Not Hiroki Kuroda. Vicente Padilla. Face=melt.
