This talk of tiebreakers makes my head hurt. Win three and the rest will take care of itself.
Here’s the plan: On offense, hit the ball toward Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder. On defense, keep the ball away from those two. Also, say nice [...]

Matt and Mud speculated that maybe Peavy had purposely changed [...]

Ron Reed — yes, the former basketball player — dominated the Padres in this one. San Diego’s sole chance to cause major damage came in the sixth, and for a while it looked as though they might.
