It’s great to see ex-Padre Brian Lawrence back in the big leagues. B-Law did some nice work here back toward the end of the pre-Petco dark ages. I wish him well, but on Wednesday night, I hope our guys beat the snot out of him.
Go Padres!
Peavy strikes out Mike DiFelice to tie Andy Benes for #1 all time in Padres history. Nice!
#47/50: Gotcha. Forgot about that one.
At least B(l)um couldn’t hit into a DP on that one.
Hensley warming in the ‘pen. Second straight day…
I was just looking at the GameCast recap – Jake had a shot at the rare achievement of striking out four batters in the bottom of the third inning. Delgado spoiled it by popping up. Striking out four in one inning has happened before, but infrequently.
Attaboy, Khalil. It’s just that easy.
KG comes through again. Nice.
52: Anyone else think Buddy should think about moving Bum out of the top of the lineup? It would appear he has turned back into a pumpkin. His season wOBA is back under .300 (league average is .334).
#56: If he had been swinging for the fence, it would have been the 3rd out. I liked the placement of that.
I’ll say it again, can we program Khalil to see other parks when he’s hitting at home?
Kooooooz!
Khalil and Kouz, having a great game at the plate tonite.
this is good. after yesterday’s loss (caused by Trevor’s having a bad inning, which is fairly rare) which was made more likely by a lack of timely hitting, to see the boys swinging the bats well for a second night in a row is quite reassuring. we’re gonna need the offense in Philly’s bandbox of a ballpark.
most excellent, Bill my friend.
I can’t believe how Mets fans will boo their own pitcher when he gives up a few runs. I haven’t been to many Padres home games recently, but I don’t think our fans do that, do they?
64: No, I think the only person this year to have been booed was Linebrink when he gave up the 3-run job to Wright to blow Maddux’s win.
#64: Steve, my Sister and Brother in-law live in New Jersey and are big Mets/Jets fans. I’m hoping to call them up tomorrow night with a hefty ‘neener, neener, neener!’
Wright’s a stud, but that’s a little too much respect.
There’s two outs. Walk Beltran and go after the next batter.
67: I know, lets keep putting men on for the hottest guy on their team.
Good call!
Thank God Brocail manned up.
Ah, so I guess he wanted Beltran. Sure, that’s it.
#67: I gotta agree.
#68: What the hell do I know?
OT: GY, did you get all your Cooperstown pics posted yet (haven’t had a chance to look)?
K-Cam is making me nervous already.
This umpire totally sucks at the plate.
Webb finally gave up a run in the first to the Brewers.
75: I’d like to see himn give up six more.
KG has had a brilliant series. Well done sir.
Do we see Trevor here after last nights debacle?
78: No way. It’s K-Cam or Hammy.
Finally Cameron returns to his early season role: it’s the return of the Human Victory Cigar. It’s been a while.
Somehow, I saw that coming.
Let’s hope Hoffman can pull this off.
I spoke too soon. I’m going away now. BTW, I really detest Marlon Anderson.
Silent L drops a can of corn!!!!!!! ACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Could we screw up any more in one inning?
Well, in Blum’s defense… that ball *was* hit pretty high. ::rolls eyes::
Now I know why I have an ulcer.
phew. that almost got talk-me-off-the-ledge bad there.
This should have been a 7-2 win. I know a win is a win. But, give us a break. Our late innings playing has really sucked recently. Grrrr.
Never in doubt. Yawn. Is that all you got? Tying run didn’t even reach base, let alone scoring position?
Someone needs to hold a team meeting and call out this suck-ass play late in the game. Our bullpen has suddenly decided that they can’t go through a game without giving up 2 runs or more. Seriously, terrible terrible win.
And I also don’t care if Marcus strikes out every at-bat for the rest of the season. Geoff Blum is not allowed to play on the field anymore.
Okay, nobody’s mentioned the Rangers game yet. Holy S$#&T!!!! Seriously, 30 runs?!? And, the wierd thing is that the ESPN box score suggest that the Ranger’s pitcher that pitched the final 3 innings got a save????!?

shoot, didn’t see post 36…. sorry!
That was a lot of walks for Peavy tonight. He pitched pretty well versus a really strony Mets squad. 5 IP of no hit ball is pretty impressive. CY YOUNG!
–Beegcellent Baseball
How many Pythagorean wins did the Rangers pick up tonight?
