It hurts me to say, but this team really stinks. A lot. Almost everyone should/could be fired. Keep Adrian Gonzalez and Peavy, and toss everyone else. Jody Gerut is decent, love to see him flourish with time, but why didn't we make a play for Jacque Jones? Speed and defense, and he's a local guy. Hope Adrian's brother works out at third, Kooz is a disaster. And why don't ALL of our hitters who struggle make a phone call and go visit San Diego State? I hear their baseball coach used to hit a little, maybe he could help. Just some thoughts. Painful, but true. I’ve been a Padre fan for a very long time.

He wasn’t in the majors the last two years. ... Padres C Michael Barrett, bothered by a sprained right elbow ligament, threw before the game and could go on a rehab assignment soon. ... Padres LF Scott Hairston fell over the Cubs’ bullpen mound chasing Fukudome’s foul fly in the sixth, but wasn’t hurt. ... Edgar Gonzalez, just called up from Triple-A, had an RBI single in the seventh for his first major league hit. He is the brother of Padres’ first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. ... Former Cubs pitcher Mark Prior, now with the Padres, had a setback in his rehab from shoulder surgery in April 2007. When he felt discomfort in his shoulder at extended spring training in Arizona, he was sent back to San Diego for an MRI, Black said. Prior might visit Dr. James Andrews, who performed the surgery, to be checked out. AP notes: Gerut’s last homer came on May 24, 2005, against the Twins while he was playing for the Indians.

To aswer Scan's post-game question. OT: The reason Zambrano stayed in the game so long was that the Cubs went 5 deep into their BP yesterday. To aswer Scan’s post-game question.

Then the meltdown came. Then another meltdown happened the following inning. Our defense and pitching are what failed tonight. Our offense was nothing special, but it was adequate, somewhat. #73 Turbine Dude: We scored a couple of runs off him, and for five innings or so, it was a close game. Then the meltdown came.
