There's no question that solid starting pitching from Jake Peavy and David Wells, as well as game-winning hits by Adrian Gonzalez and the Crushin' Russian (chest bump Gaslamp Ball for Kouzmanoff's new nickname), overshadowed some of the unsung heroes in the Padres' past two wins. One of those such unsung players is reliever Scott Linebrink who has yet to allow a run in three relief appearances this year. Even if most fans don't know who Scott Linebrink is, David Wells sure had some choice words about the reliever that not only helped preserve Saturday night's win, but was also the subject of several trade rumors over the off-season:"I'm glad they kept Liney," Wells said. "I told Kevin Towers if they traded Linebrink, I was going to personally head-butt him. He's so important to what Trevor does."Yeah, I always knew that David Wells was a different breed of pitcher, but seriously, why would head-butting your GM even enter your mind? Just more proof that David Wells is a weird cat...weird cat. Head-butting Towers? Wow. I'm at a lack of words. At least Wells has maintained his sense of humor since being diagnosed with diabetes.
