225: Yes, that’s the reason they lost. The team wanted Jake to get his first 20-win season and this was the only way to do it.

That’s my story and I’m sticking with it.

Tomorrow's one-game playoff counts in the stats as a regular season game and Peavy has a shot at win #20. A victory would be icing on the cake for a Cy Young season.

219: You have to think Germano gets the start over Cassel

Let’s not look past the Rockies, they’re arguably the best team in the NL at this point. Everything is coming together at the right time for them, and while I like the Padres’ changes in Peavy v. Fogg, that Rockies lineup is scary. Let’s not worry too much about the Phillies, because the Padres are not a sure thing to face them at all, even with Peavy on the mound.

220 & 221...Sorry, knew that. BAD sports weekend!!! El Cap football, SDSU football, Chargers and Pads x 2, all L's. Maybe there is something to this limping into the playoffs.

218: Tomko can't be on the postseason roster, so need to worry about him getting a start.

218 … Tomko’s not on the post-season roster … we signed him after the post-season-roster-setting deadline (9/1) … so I think Jack is our #4 …

I’m gonna look ahead … the NLDS games are going to be Wed + Thu + Sat + Sun + Tue … so the Padres will be all set for their best 3 to go games 1 (Maddux), 2 (Young) & 3 (Peavy) all on 4 days rest … cool … but there’s no way getting around needing Cassel to pitch game 4 on Sunday … I can’t believe it’d be an option to go to Maddux on 3 days rest … but then a game 5 starter would be Maddux on 5 days rest …

Assuming we win game 5 (hey, I *like* that assumption) … then we start the NLCS with Peavy on Thu with 4 days rest … Young on Friday with 6 days … Maddux on Sunday with 4 days … then have to go to Cassel on Monday … but will have Jake for game 5 on Wed (5 days rest) and Young for game 6 on Friday and Maddux for game 7 on Saturday …

There is the option to go to Jake on 3 days rest for game 4 … and then he’s available again on normal rest for game 7 … depending on how Jack does in game 4 of the NLDS, that’ll be an interesting decision …

Eh, just lookin’ …

Not looking past the Rockies, but IF we are able to do what we SHOULD be able to do tomorrow, would we go with a three man rotation? Maddux on Wednesday, Young on Thursday and Peavy on Saturday would be on schedule. Do we go back to Maddux for game 4? and Young for 5? Do we dare put Tomko out there for a game 4? I'd go with the three, and go to the BP earlier, which seems to be a playoff tendancy anyway.

Francis pitched the 28th, so i doubt he would pitch tomorrow. Most places are saying Fogg is pitching.
