I see red
And it hurts my head
Guess it must be something
That I read
The NL West is slowly slipping away, but the Padres maintain a half-game lead over Cincy and Philly in the wild card. Every series is a must-win. Spotting the Reds a game on Friday night means that the next two have to be ours.
Really.
Now let’s go out there and kick some buttocks.

Why the delay getting McAnulty up and on the bench?
September 2, 2006 at 3:10 pm
Bradon Lyon with one of the more painful relief appearances I’ve ever seen … http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/boxscore?gid=260902220 … not that I’m sheding a tear, mind you.

Why did the pads only call up Cassidy, to cheap to pay for Cust and P mac to fly up?
September 2, 2006 at 4:53 pm
I have to admit, despite being nervous and apprehensive about tonight’s game, this is a great sports day, 10 hours of college football and then a Peavy performance for the nightcap. But wait…because of college football, the game isn’t on EI
I guess Gameday will have to do.
September 2, 2006 at 7:26 pm
Hmm…everyone at the game? Well, anyone who’s out there watching on TV, does it look like Peavy has “the good stuff” tonight?
September 2, 2006 at 7:27 pm
awfully quiet out there… can i hear some chatter?
September 2, 2006 at 7:29 pm

September 2, 2006 at 7:47 pm

September 2, 2006 at 8:00 pm

September 2, 2006 at 8:54 pm
And a 3 run double by Cory Sullivan, Rocks now back in it! 7-5
September 2, 2006 at 8:55 pm
dprat … still smell CG? do you want CG? i guess what i’m asking is … what’s your pitch limit? i’m a pitch-limit-kind-of-guy … i want jake fresher for his next start … i’m confident in bully … i know ya gotta get their first, but i’m a believer in getting to the postseason as fresh/rested as possible …
September 2, 2006 at 9:04 pm
MannyA sent in to play 3B … seems like a good move …
September 2, 2006 at 9:04 pm
Manny starts the GIDP
September 2, 2006 at 9:05 pm
i agree with ya’, LM. but jake is the kind who wants it; and Boch is the kind of manager that would let him try IF he gets thru 8 with less than 110, and there is no save possibility for #51.
September 2, 2006 at 9:06 pm

September 2, 2006 at 9:08 pm
OTOH … it is nice to see the Reds burnin’ pen!
September 2, 2006 at 9:10 pm
re: 30 … ya, the “want it” and “let him” attitudes both have pro’s & con’s, don’t they … they are short-sighted, all to often, me thinks …
September 2, 2006 at 9:11 pm
bleh … Dogs get one back … now up 8-5 …
September 2, 2006 at 9:15 pm
Time for Barfield to put a virtual-end to this game … bases loaded, nobody out!
September 2, 2006 at 9:18 pm
Perhaps DR?
September 2, 2006 at 9:22 pm
Complete game time.
September 2, 2006 at 9:23 pm
DR says “Yes, I can get a 2-out hit”
7-1 now … Manny’s turn (after walk to BG) …
September 2, 2006 at 9:24 pm
it’s a weird year with Coors a pitchers park and the Ravine now a masher’s heaven - dodgers up, 12-5.
September 2, 2006 at 9:25 pm
Dogs get all 5 right back … now 12-5 … Affeldt has more problems than a hard-to-spell last name
September 2, 2006 at 9:30 pm
What a game by Peavy! I didn’t get a chance to see much of it because I was working, but he really pitched a great game.

September 2, 2006 at 9:36 pm
Cincy’s bullpen threw 39 pitches … 4 guys … 1.2 IP …
September 2, 2006 at 9:36 pm
what is going on.?
September 2, 2006 at 9:36 pm
game over?
September 2, 2006 at 9:36 pm
Latest sign that the apocalypse is nigh: Vinny Castilla PH’s for Todd Helton.
September 2, 2006 at 9:42 pm
Ryguy … you “watching” via Yahoo? Something hung there … but they have posted recap already … http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/recap?gid=260902125
September 2, 2006 at 9:45 pm
The AP story (link in #49) says …
Peavy has struggled this season due to shoulder tendinitis …
… and I’m not sure I’ve read much about an actual diagnosis and/or status. Sure doesn’t seem like a problem tonight … but it seems like it’s all the more reason to not push his pitch counts ver far beyond 100 … or even 90, if you ask me …
September 2, 2006 at 9:47 pm
Also reports pretty bad news for Williamson …
Padres RH reliever Scott Williamson, on the DL since Aug. 26, has a bone chip in his throwing elbow and might need surgery
September 2, 2006 at 9:49 pm
re: 48 … odd … very odd! … now 13-5 thru 7 … and vinny stayed in playing 1B …
September 2, 2006 at 10:27 pm
I had it on MLBtv on my computer at work.
