I am oddly hopeful. Eaton, Astacio and Williams can all pitch good games. And the hitters can intermittently wake up. So, it would be a great story to see them rebound.

I too am positive about tomorrows game, cough cough, sneeze, sneeze, only because the Padre pattern this year is to play terribly then come back and play better.

Remember, its gonna be a nice chicken dinner tomorrow afternoon.

God, why is that all the NL games are on during the day and the Al games on at night? Can anybody say…Yankees-Redsocks.

BTW, is Boston the ugliest team EVER. Get a haircut son, and a shave too…

Go Padres!

How is this possible, Howard? Is Gaylord Perry on one of the playoff teams' active roster?

GY - you weren’t the only one making that mistake … several articles I’ve read today have said the same thing (that Ramon was the tieing run at the plate) … odd …

OT: Can you believe that someone older than ME is starting on a MLB playoff team today??? Man, something’s wrong with that! http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/3001

Thanks, LM. I didn't see that part of the game and I misread the play-by-play. Will correct tonight.

GY … got a correction for you … instead of …

Ramon Hernandez, representing the tying run, struck out against closer Jason Isringhausen to end the contest.

… it needs to say that Ramon represented the go-ahead run … Fick, Giles and Loretta were on base …

From St.Louis Dispatch:

Despite the team saying Peavy is out at least a month, he’s not giving up hope.

“Don’t count me out just yet,” he said. “This is a broken rib and maybe there are things we can do to make it feel a lot better. If there’s a way to get out there, I promise you I will.”

Well, I love Peavy’s competitiveness but we don’t want him to hurt more for next season, do we?
Peavy, sit down and cheer, but not too much. No dog-piling policy from now on.

Brian Gunn’s thoughts on Game 1 at THT:

http://www.hardballtimes.com/m.....ke-game-1/

Two things I learned from this one: 1) Peavy has a famous temper and 2) the Padres seem like they�re good fielders. I’m surprised at the first because I didn’t realize Peavy’s temper was all that bad (he’s uber-competitive; maybe that’s what Gunn meant?) and also I didn’t think he had a famous *anything* outside of San Diego. To the second, I’d say they only seem like good fielders to anyone who hasn’t been watching them all year.

Granted, we might not have scored 5 off them if the game were closer (and they pitched/defended more carefully), and any of our non-Peavys could have allowed more runs had they run through the Card's lineup a 2nd or 3rd time.
