Mark Redman is the best pitcher ever. Not really, but if I tell you what I really think, he’ll throw a no-hitter. Go Padres!
Picking up where last year's version left off, the Ducksnorts 2008 Baseball Annual provides in-depth analysis of and commentary on the San Diego Padres. Get your copy today.

Redman is still pitching? I figured after Atlanta cut bait with him early on that he was pretty much done for. heh…I guess when the pitching market is paper thin you take what you can get.
September 22, 2007 at 6:46 pm
World-beater! We’re doomed!
September 22, 2007 at 7:05 pm
Alright, that does it…
Geoff, you’re hilarious.
September 22, 2007 at 7:05 pm
I have to get this off my chest: I can’t stand Mark (I was a shitty pichter and couldn’t cook fries at McDonalds) Grant. The sooner 4SD gets rid of him won’t be soon enough.
He is a childish idiot whos only claim to fame is that he once pitched poorly in the bigs.

Jack has shown a lot more talent than Germano as of late.
September 22, 2007 at 7:12 pm
Blown Save Alert …

… a game with *3* blown saves … yo!
September 22, 2007 at 7:16 pm
If the Cards can show some life (they beat ’stros today), you’d think the Dogs could too … sigh … yet another reason to hate Dogs …
September 22, 2007 at 7:19 pm
Greene’s throw was on the $. Good Job Khalil.
September 22, 2007 at 7:27 pm
They better not let this scrub beat them.
September 22, 2007 at 7:30 pm
Phils just took a 2-1 lead in the 10th. Runners on the corners and 1 out.
September 22, 2007 at 7:34 pm
now were batting, lets score
September 22, 2007 at 7:45 pm
It’s evident that we’ll be getting no help from the Dogs tonight (or likely tomorrow as well, unless Billingsley pitches a gem). Khalil’s AB that last half inning was irritating - we have got to be more selective against this guy. And Cassel is leaving his pitches up and over the plate. Not good.
September 22, 2007 at 7:48 pm
Wouldn’t it be swell to lose to the fringiest starter in the NL?
September 22, 2007 at 7:50 pm
holy crap this ain’t looking good. Pulling him already???? Bullpen got some work last night already……….
September 22, 2007 at 7:50 pm
I think this is a must win game for the Padres. Not because if they lose they will miss the playoffs because I still think they will make it if they lose tonight, but more because it’s Mark Redman pitching. If they can’t hit Mark Redman, than who cares if they make the playoffs? They aren’t going to score any runs so they will go 3 and out (again). Even a team that has given up (the Dodgers) scored 4 runs in 5 innings off him.
September 22, 2007 at 7:51 pm
Good move getting Cassel out of there, he wasn’t fooling anyone tonight.
September 22, 2007 at 7:52 pm
6 … and the Red Sox induce a Blown Save …

I’m watching on a bit of a delay, so this is comment is a bit late.
But how on earth did Matsui not tag and go to 3rd on that long fly to Cameron? Cameron conceded 3rd by throwing to 2nd.
I guess it didn’t matter, since Matsui scored on the single on the next PA.
We’re asking a lot from our pen, given last night.
September 22, 2007 at 8:16 pm
1 freakin’ hit off Mark Redman, I think I’ll watch college football for awhile….
September 22, 2007 at 8:20 pm
By far the most irritating thing abut this team is the way they flounder against junk throwing scrubs. Redman doesn’t even look like a real pitcher; he looks like a right hander who’s trying to throw lefty for the first time.
I wonder what our runs per game looks like against pitchers with an ERA over 6?
September 22, 2007 at 8:33 pm
OK, a GOLDEN opportunity presents itself. How will they respond?
September 22, 2007 at 8:35 pm
now we have to make them pay! 3-2, bases loaded, one out, and Redman is done after walking in a run.
September 22, 2007 at 8:39 pm
Cammy, you CANNOT take a called third strike in that situation! c’mon!
September 22, 2007 at 8:43 pm
I am sooooo sick of us leaving the bases loaded with no results. Grrrrrrrrr.
September 22, 2007 at 8:44 pm
I love the Padres, but they are giving me an ulcer.
September 22, 2007 at 8:46 pm
Yeah, my TV is off. I’ve been keeping it under control this season, but this is a joke so far.
September 22, 2007 at 8:57 pm
I’m getting very sick of watching this team take called third strikes. Don’t know how many it’s been tonight, but it’s still ridiculous. They are not facing a staff ace here — this is against Rockies middle relief (and Redman, who isn’t any better).
September 22, 2007 at 9:13 pm
yeah, i have it on, but my back is turned to the screen
but right when i was about to post this tidbit from mlb.com channel 4 beat me to it
Rob Mackowiak will probably be out for the rest of the year with a double sports hernia.
not a horrible loss but we could have used him.
September 22, 2007 at 9:14 pm
and can someone PLEASE reassure me that sledge will not be on this team too much longer
he’s garbage!
September 22, 2007 at 9:18 pm
Man, we can’t get Hawpe out…
September 22, 2007 at 9:26 pm
we just gifted the Rocks two more runs. This is a BAD night for the good guys.
September 22, 2007 at 9:26 pm
ahhh. 6-2 are you kiddddding
September 22, 2007 at 9:32 pm
If I’m playing the Padres in the play-offs, I’m throwing my 3-4-5 starters at them, not the 1-2 guys….
September 22, 2007 at 9:39 pm
33: I have a feeling teams wont have to worry about that… Padres offense disappeared and Phillies have a cake schedule.
September 22, 2007 at 10:00 pm
Tonight was a tough one to lose. We are in a little bit of trouble now. Well, we should have known that it would not be easy. This team is good….but is it really a 93-94 win type ballclub ?
#34 Actually the Phillies don’t have a total cakewalk, they do have to host a Braves (7 games over .500) team that is playing better and will throw James,Hudson and Smoltz against them….the Pads must win tomorrow and then take 2 of 3 from the Giants. A miracle tomorrow in a Phillies loss and Padres win would save us all a couple of ulcers. A two game lead going into that Milwaukee series is what the Pads would ultimately love. Lets face it, more than likely the Phillies are going to sweep their remaining games against the Nats. Can the Braves go into to Philly and take two of three while we sweep the Giants ? This is almost what must happen. Even then, if the Phillies sweep the last series then we must take 3 of 4 in a Milwaukee just to tie.
September 22, 2007 at 10:14 pm
Tomorrow is the last game at RFK in DC and the Nats are 121-121 at home since their move to DC. I like the karma is here for an upset.
Maybe the Nats will show up tomorrow and avoid the sweep.
September 22, 2007 at 10:27 pm
The backdoor cover of course is a Dbacks collapse, which is always possible. They have to end on the road for 3 in Colorado. A 1-5 finish for them is what need from them.
September 22, 2007 at 10:36 pm
Pray for a Marlins split tomorrow !! Need the Mets to lose as well. A huge Phillies finish coupled with more Mets scuffling means that we could be head to head with them for the Wild Card. We are only 1 game back of the Mets who finish hosting Washington (who have played the Mets tough this year) , St.Louis for one makeup game, and finishing with a feisty Florida team.
BTW, another huge reason that tomorrow is a must win is that we can finally kick the pesky Rockies to the curb who would go back to 3.5 games back with 6 left.
September 22, 2007 at 10:46 pm
Big decision for Game #1 in Milwaukee - Do we start Jack Cassel ? If not, who gets the nod ? Do we go back to Germano ?
September 23, 2007 at 4:44 am
39 - I say go to Leblanc…
