Jake dominated the Dodgers last weekend in San Diego. Perhaps more importantly, he seems to have gotten into their heads with Smudgegate. Here’s hoping he can work that to his advantage.

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.

      Just a couple of upbeat comments:

      1) We didn’t lose yesterday.
      2) Jake is on the mound tonight!

      Go Padres!

      Penny has a 2.84 ERA and is 1-1 compared to Jake’s next to nothing ERA and 2-0 record. Now, if the Pads could just knock some base runners in, we’ll be good to go.

      Too bad that Giles and Edmonds battled back from 0-2 counts, taking several close pitches, only to strike out on pitches way out of the zone.

      Hey! Another single! How will this one be stranded:
      A) Next three hitters retired.
      B) Double play ground ball
      C) Three more singles, runner thrown out at the plate

      As a qualifier to the NCAA record, NCAA records only go back to 1957, it’s possible there is a higher strikeout game.

      OK, our last 29 hits have been for singles. That’s got to be a record streak of hits without an extra-base hit. (9 today, 4 Thur, 13 Wed, and the last 3 hits Tue)

      111: Jones is probably a bit more likely to have a productive season than Edmonds still. Given the price tag, though, I’ll take Scott Hairston.

    114. Kevin Says:

      111: No. Just happier with Hairston and one of our young guys. Sure, Edmonds looks good compared to a worse scenario.

      Ohhh, so close. I was screaming at my computer for Khalil to go to second on that, to break the streak. But no, it’s just another in the avalanche of singles.

      I could be wrong, but I think the DBacks are riding 30 straight extra-base hits. Those boys can hit!
