I think we all know our outfield hasn’t exactly lit the lamp with the bat this year.  Scott Hairston and Will Venable have been league average hitters; Tony Gwynn Jr OPS+ hovers at 82.  Ludwick addresses that need in a big way.  His OPS+ is 120; he’ll be the best offensive outfielder on the club as soon as he’s assigned a number.

My concern for the Padres, in making trades, was that they not upset their run prevention model.  That is why I am not completely sold on the Miguel Tejada deal.  I have no such reservations with this move.  Ludwick is enjoying his best defensive year (based on Dewan plus/minus; he is +5 defensively), which immediately makes him the second-best outfielder on the club behind Gwynn.  He can also play all three positions defensively, giving Bud Black tons of flexibility with the roster.

Ludwick became expendable in St Louis with the stellar play of Jon Jay.  Ludwick is making $5.45M this season, is arbitration eligible for the 2011 campaign, and becomes a free-agent in 2012.  It might be hard to believe, but the Cardinals dumped salary with this move. I don’t know if this is a two-month rental or if the Padres will try to keep him for 2011.  The cynic in me says this is a 2-month rental.

No matter.  THIS is the bat the Padres needed to get, and THIS is the defender they need to bring in with that bat.  Great move by the Padres.

Welcome to San Diego, Ryan Ludwick.  You will like it here.

Of all the pagan copycat candidates, Osiris and Horus are two that look if any to be a major threat. Egypt after all is not far from Palestine, and Jews did live in Egypt; it is not theoretically improbable that they could steal an idea for a Jesus from this place.

But did they? The field is rife with claims, but as usual there is a great deal of filching of Christian terms to describe Egyptian events (not all of it with bad intentions) and a great deal of non-citation of sources for fabulous claims.

Was the story of Jesus stolen from that of the Egyptian deites Horus and Osiris?

But we here at the Ted Lilly Fan Club know him more from his 1983 opus, “I Love LA” which is somewhat of a counter song to Cubbie favorite, “Go Cubs Go” (ably sung by everyone’s favorite Steve Goodman).

And, frankly, in response to that song and Ted’s trade today to the LA Dodgers, we feel like Randy Newman is full of sh*t. Why?

Five reasons why the TLFC Hates This Trade, Randy Newman, LA:

First off, in the song, he actually rips Chicago in opening lines, “Let’s leave Chicago to the Eskimos…That town’s a little bit too rugged” so Newman, in fact, is admitting that he’s a lightweight and can’t handle a little honest, blue collar weather (hint: Ted Lilly can)

Second, the Dodgers had their chance with Ted back in 1996 when they wisely drafted him in the 23rd Round (Ted asked to be drafted in this round out of respect for Michael Jordan–the only other man who’s level of competiveness matches TLs). Reminds us of the “Simpsons” episode when Artie Ziff, after dumping Marge in high school, becomes a millionaire later in life and unsuccessfully attempts to woo Marge back. She (like Ted will do w/ LA) only hangs out with him out of pity for a little bit. Long analogy? Yep…but that’s what copious amounts of Sanka will do to a Fan Club. Speaking of Sanka…

Third, no one in LA drinks Sanka (official coffee-like beverage of the Ted Lilly Fan Club). Everyone drinks fancy smancy coffee that cost a fortune and are made from real bits of aborginal Indians from coffee producing regions around the world (marketed as “organic”)

Fourth, with all the unrest in the LA Dodgers organizations (e.g. owners in midst of divorce, underperforming stars like Kemp, the addition of former ChiSox D’Bag Scotty Posednik), we think that this move is as much about asking Ted to conduct team therapy sessions as it is about his crafty Lillyhammer out-pitch. TLFC no likey at all.

And, finally, the Ted Lilly Fan Club (the official unofficial home of Ted Lilly) HATES LA. We hate the city, hate the apathetic fans, hate that they re-made “90210″ w/ no Dylan or Steve Sanders (Mrs. TLFC asked us to include that one), hate the smog, hate the traffic, hate the urban sprawl, hate recent seasons of “Curb“, etc. etc. etc.

No idea what this trade means for the Ted Lilly Fan Club…maybe we pack up the TLFC-branded Airstream RV and head west? maybe we go “Sopranos” black? maybe, as above poll suggests, we should vomit repeatedly? Time will tell, TedHeads….keep the faith, we’ll keep drinking.

Father of the bride: Bill Clinton emerged in Rhinebeck, New York, today ahead of his daughter’s highly anticipated wedding

Former President Bill Clinton gave his future son-in-law a public seal of approval today.

The 63-year-old spoke to fans as he arrived for lunch in Rhinebeck, New York, where his daughter’s lavish nuptials are expected to take place tomorrow.

When quizzed about his thoughts on Chelsea’s groom, investment banker Marc Mezvinsky, he said: ‘I like him very much. I really do. I admire him. Hillary feels the same way.’

Hilary, the secretary of state in President Barack Obama’s Cabinet, sat the trip out this morning, presumably to focus on last minute preparations ahead of the ceremony.

The popular Democrat looked relaxed in blue jeans and a black knit shirt as he walked with security a few blocks north from the picturesque village’s main intersection.

He also said his daughter, who was photographed looking exhausted in New York yesterday, is ‘doing well’.

Between 400 and 500 guests are expected to attend Saturday’s ceremony at the grand Astor Courts, an estate on the scenic east bank of the Hudson River.

Rumors had abounded for weeks leading up to Friday, including one that Rhinebeck was an elaborate decoy planned by the media-shy Chelsea, and that the wedding would be elsewhere.

Man of the people: The former president happily greeted fans

Prosecutors called him ‘a one-man crime wave’. After six years in prison, Ed was released in 2008 but remains on parole.

He fits the bill: Chelsea Clinton and Marc Mezvinsky are set to wed tomorrow

Divorced from Marc’s mother Marjorie, he is expected to attend the ceremony but not the reception. Relations between the prospective in-laws are said to be ‘cool’.

The no-expense-spared ceremony is expected to cost the Clintons a cool £3 million.

Around £400,000 has been spent on erecting the marquees on the 50-acre former estate, while a further £75,000 has been spent on the tables and crockery.

The bride has also ordered a £7,000, five-tier, gluten-free wedding cake.

Chelsea and Mezvinsky were friends as teenagers in Washington, and both attended Stanford University.

They now live in New York, where Mezvinsky works at G3 Capital, a Manhattan hedge fund, and Clinton is pursuing a graduate degree at Columbia University’s School of Public Health.

Mezvinsky worked previously at Goldman Sachs as an investment banker.

Bride-to-be: Chelsea Clinton looked as if wedding pressure had taken its toll and appeared exhausted as she caught a cab in New York yesterday

Last minute preparations: Chelsea’s big day is rumoured to have cost around £3million and has been described as the biggest wedding of the year

Chelsea has long sought a life away from the spotlight. She lives quietly in a Manhattan apartment and is described as casual, modest and friendly.

She has blossomed from the gawky corkscrew-curled 12-year-old who entered the White House in 1992 into an assured young woman who has a strong relationship with both parents, even in the storm of her father’s adultery with Monica Lewinsky.

Ferociously bright, Chelsea studied history at the Ivy League Stanford University before taking a masters in International Relations at Oxford — where she reinvented herself with a sleek makeover, being named by Tatler as one of the world’s most eligible females.

In 2003 she returned to New York to work for management consultancy McKinsey & Company, and later a small hedge fund run by one of her father’s major supporters.

She’s now studying for a master’s degree in Public Health at New York’s Columbia University.

Despite hitting the campaign trail for her mother’s Presidential bid in 2008, Chelsea has made it clear she has no intention of following in her parents’ political footsteps.

No expense spared: A small army of workmen have been on site all week to erect pavilions in the grounds where the wedding will take place
