Here's a wacky bit of news from Tucson Padres regarding tonight's game:

The Colorado Springs Sky Sox connecting flight was cancelled in Las Vegas this morning (they came from Salt Lake). They are unable to get their team here for tonight's game so it will be made up in a doubleheader on FRIDAY at 5:35. The gates open at 5.

If you were planning on taking advantage of this evening's Social Media night promotion, you're still in luck, as they'll be making things up to you by offering box seats for two for this Sunday's game (more information to come via the team's Facebook page).

For those concerned about this season's final Thirsty Thursday, don't fret; that's still scheduled for tomorrow night.

The final homestand of the Tucson Padres' season begins tonight against the Colorado Springs Sky Sox. Provided that it's not too damp to play ball, the first pitch will be 7:05 p.m.

It's also Social Media night, so check out the Padres' Facebook page before 1 p.m. today to get free box seats. Plus: It's Wiener Wednesday and hot dogs are just a buck.

Tomorrow night is the final Thirsty Thursday of the season, so get out there for some cold beer on a warm summer night.

The T-Pads are in town through Sunday night and finish the season on the road. There are a whole bunch of promotions on tap, including lots of giveaways on Friday night, fireworks on Saturday night and the final Bark in the Park on Sunday night. Find details here.

Two weeks after that, they'll probably be calling for his head and throwing batteries at Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid.

But the fact of the matter is that last night, former University of Arizona quarterback and current Eagle Nick Foles showed the nation that he might, eventually, be kind of a big deal.

Sure, it's only the preseason, and, sure, he was playing against the second- and third-stringers of the New England Patriots, but he still threw for 217 yards and completed 64 percent of his passes while Michael Vick sat on the sidelines after being knocked out of his second straight game.

How did Foles feel about coming in with the Eagles first-team? From ESPN.com:

"I didn't give any speech or anything" when he joined his teammates in the huddle, Foles said. "I was ready to play and they were, too. I could look in their eyes and see the confidence."

'Atta boy, Sunshine.
