Four years and one day after the Chargers were forced to evacuate San Diego and play a regular season home game in Arizona, the Chargers were once again forced to cancel practice and are considering moving practice to Arizona because of fires in the San Diego area. The fires in the area are not near the team's Murphy Canyon complex, but they are nearby many of the player's homes.
"There's nothing we could do today," head coach Norv Turner said. "We have a dozen guys who have evacuated their houses and have stuff they've got to deal with."

Among those who live in the Poway and Rancho Bernardo area are LaDainian Tomlinson, Shawne Merriman, Shaun Phillips and Luis Castillo.

According to the AP story, Trevor Hoffman was among a handful of Padres personnel who had to evacuate the area as well, and the home of former Padres manager, Bruce Bochy, may also be in danger. ESPN's Chris Mortensen is reporting that the Chargers will in fact move practice to Arizona, but they are currently uncertain whether or not they will move their scheduled home game on Sunday against the Texans.

UPDATE: I'm told 250,000 people have been evacuated and that 3/4 of San Diego is being evacuated. Qualcomm Stadium, which is where the Chargers player their home games, is currently serving as an evacuation center.

No, it wasn't Philip Rivers or LaDainian Tomlinson. Though, you really wouldn't put it past Tomlinson to be able do it.

Instead it was Rockies rookie, Jason Hirsh, who allowed one fun on five hits to defeat Greg Maddux and the Padres. Hirsh spent last season as a photo-runner for the Chargers. Hirsh earned minimum-wage for the game-day gig. But something says that he is not going to need the money this year after earning baseball's league minimum, which is a just a touch higher than California's generous minimum wage.
