The Dbacks lost, so we hold at 3.5 games back. JP it seemed goofy at the time, and pitiful now.

Switching gears to the even more depressing, Jack Cust is having an unbelieveable year - 20 blasts in a little more than half a season. Seeing Sledge for a painful 170 pa’s makes me wonder why the Pads wouldn’t at least give Cust a cup of coffee - that is all the A’s did - Cust turned a cup of coffee into a regular job in about 4 days.

BTW, and I will not ever forget this because it may be the biggest spin, snow job that this management team ever tried to pull off - but remember the 60 days spin this Winter when the Padres tried to make us believe that Sledge could bat leadoff for the Pads and was much faster than anyone gave him credit for and was capable of stealing a decent amount of bases out of the leadoff role. Are you kidding me ?

111. Yes, but when you hand the game over to your closer with a lead in the ninth you’ve done enough to win.

This may not be as bad as the Dodgers 4 home runs, but it’s close… and I repeat my earlier comment: Trevor has been terrible… here’s his line since Aug. 5:
0-1 record
4 1/3 IP, 6 R, 5 ER, 10 H, 3 BB, 10.39 ERA
3 saves, 2 blown saves

Gosh, do we feel good about anyone in the pen right now? What a gut-puncher that was. Ugh. If I drank hard liquor, I imagine I might indulge some.

107: Or you can look at it like we had more hits, more extra base hits, and more walks than the Mets. Sure, the execution in the 8th was abysmal, but that sort of thing is just a fluke.

#107: Check that, lack of execution in the eighth.

crud. don't want to make too much of this, but winning a game when CY has a slightly off night (read: Beltran is on fire) and the team rallies is a bit heartbreaking....
