IGD: Padres @ Mariners (21 May 06)
Sun, May 21, 2006
by Geoff Young
first pitch: 1:05 p.m., PT
television: Channel 4SD
matchup: Chan Ho Park (2-2, 3.70 ERA) vs Felix Hernandez (3-2, 4.84 ERA)
previews: Padres.com | SI.com | ESPN
Felix Hernandez likely will be a great pitcher one day. Right now, however, the league is hitting .302/.376/.475 against the 20-year-old right-hander. Lefties in particular are torching him to the tune of .304/.379/.565.
The Padres, meanwhile, look to recapture their May mojo, which apparently decided to stay in Chicago. They turn to Chan Ho Park, who improbably has been the club’s most reliable starter early in the season, in the hope of avoiding a series sweep at the hands of the Mariners.
As has become my custom on Sundays, I will be walking nine miles around Mission Bay (listening to Ted and Jerry on the radio, of course), so you are on your own for this one.
Go Padres!

I certainly thought that we would see Pmac at least one game in this series. Guess I was wrong.
