Bard-o! Nice!
Finally. A run.
Ugly swing, great result; Jake is done.
Shakespeare! Good, finally a run…
Just read this: TV shows Peavy getting his elbow worked on in the dugout.
Is it true? Is this normal?
Let’s score some more, Padres!
only one in the seventh, but it’s better than the first six tonight.
One would think that having been called up just today, Termell would like to have his first AB longer than one pitch. Urgh!
55
I don’t think that’s normal.
#57: At least it was a good pass; he just missed that.
oh joy, termel is back.
Blum? That is the worst throw ever.
I hate watching Blum fail to make a play that Marcus could have made.
#61: I’ll reiterate the nickname ‘Silent L.’
Well, at least Silent L can’t hit into a DP right here.
Actually got a hit. Hmmm.
blum is on fire
Anyone else think when Blum sold his soul to be able to hit for the last month or so he should have asked for the ability to field, too?
Blum Good bat = bad glove ?
55, 58: What did it look like? Peavy commonly wraps his elbow in between innings with a towel.
68: Well, he’s usually bad at both. I’ll take one being good over neither being good.
70: He was just getting a massage. I’ve seen it before.
Too bad Blum wasn’t already on third. Nice sac fly-type ball from KG.
Damn, some good swings there by Khalil and Mack.
Their problem with Blum is they are trying to stop him; you can only contain him. A run would have been very nice. Cammy’s pop bunt put us in hole.
Wow. Way to go Blum.
Geoff Blum is apparently too good to cover second.
Dodged a bullet there. Nie pitching by Bell – he got squeezed on that outside ball to Pujols.
77: Not to mention when Blum decided not to cover second base.
Chalk up another one for Holdin’ Heath.
76: What? Was that why it was a single to shortstop? I’m only following online here at work. THAT Silent L!!!!
80: Yep, Khalil made a ridiculous running dive to snare the grounder about 7 feet behind second and looked to flip to second, but nobody was there. Pretty much a crap play.
Adrian Gonzalez would have caught that.
That should be charged an E-3. Ball was definatly catchable by the first baseman.
That shouldn’t be an E-6
Alright, boys. Let’s score these runs.
Can Jenga pinch hit?
Nope. Guess NOG is it. Take a pitch would you.
Hairston comes through again!
HAIRSTON!!! AND HE’S AT THIRD!!!
Um, where has Hairston been all season? He should have been with us.
Well done by Hairston, and NOG as well.
oh and he’s SAFE AT HOME!
And the dude steals home on a bad pitch!!!!!!!
What? Where? Come on. Update already. I’m still stuck on sacrifice by NOG.
Great baserunning by Hairston. I love this guy.
Gutsy play by Hairston. I like the agression.
Does Trevor still pitch?
Couldn’t Cheo have done that?
3 Runs? Sweet! Awesome. Go Hairston! Nice.
Um, excuse me, the player wearing #27 for the Padres – Who are you and what have you done with Geoff Blum?
Now that Trevor is ready to come in, the Padres decide to start scoring oodles of runs.
Silent L with another base hit? I wish this guy was consistantly good or consistantly bad. That way KT would make a final decision about him.
