Edgar Gonzalez is starting for the Diamondbacks today.
The Padres are trying to win consecutive games for the first time since April 15.
Rockies starter Greg Reynolds is making his major league debut.
Glad to see we won’t have to see Joe West behind the plate this homestand.
SAN DIEGO (AP) – The San Diego Padres acquired right-handed reliever Bryan Corey from the Boston Red Sox on Sunday for a player to be named or cash.
To make room on the roster, the Padres optioned left-hander Joe Thatcher to Triple-A Portland.
#6@Kevin: I think that was a good move.
It almost looked like Adrian had gotten all of that.
#7@Turbine Dude: Best move ever.
#9@Kevin: I wish him well with the Beavers and would like to see him brought back up in the future.
Mark Grant is such an idiot.
#11@Turbine Dude: Yeah….but he’s a funny idiot and it makes baseball fun to watch and he’s having a good time.
Gerut is really hitting the ball hard this weekend…..nothing to show for it…but he has been hitting it hard.
#11@Turbine Dude: I love Mark…he cracks me up.
CY is cruising. we need some runs gang. I’ve been out of the loop for a couple days. Did Rusch get a pink slip?
Atta boy Shrek…A shot to the corner…Pads up by 1.
#15@Jefe: There’s your run. Nice shot Scotty!
Shrek hit that one hard…..
#15@Jefe: Updated May. 10: Padres sent LHP Glendon Rusch outright to Triple-A Portland. The Padres’ still have filled their quots for old, formerly mediocre lefties with Shawn Estes up. Rusch, who goes to make room for Sean Henn, had a 6.41 ERA in 19 2/3 innings as a reliever.
#19@Coronado Mike: Thanks Mike
wow…we threw out a runner trying to steal….
Carlin just threw out his first runner in the bigs. Nice.
nice bunt goooch..
I didn’t see that coming! Gooch!
Who says we don’t have speed?!
A bunt hit for Iggy
we have more speed now with Gerut in the lineup
The bunt worked for Gooch. Way to go Agone!
Well, we do have a hitter…Way to come through AGon
Greene’s bat finally wakes up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KG hit one!
Wow…
Shrek looking for another homer.
Whoa. Am I tuning into the Padres game or did I hit the wrong button? Maybe I’m having some strange form of dyslexia when I see that bigger number next to the Padres rather than the Rockies.
This could ugly real quick!
Great, they are bringing in one of my all time favorite style pitchers. Ug.
33, 34: Guys, Meredith has been pretty good recently.
I’m happy for Cla there. Still doesn’t change my thinking on side arm pitching.
#35@Richard D.: It’s “guy,” singular. TD is the only poster I know of who gets the willies when The Claw appears.
That’s about the best you can do in that situation. It looked like CY got squeezed on GameDay during the Spillborgs a-b.
That ball was smoked at Spiers’ back!!!
Thanks Tom.
that had to hurt…he will really feel that on Monday morning…
And way to go 1st to 3rd Gerut!!!
Gooch is safe by a leap!
Bases loaded and one out. Here’s where they usually f*ck this up.
#37@Tom Waits: Point taken. I agree, Cla gets big “up’s” for wiggling out of that jam.
One of our best hitters stikes out with bases loaded. That’s why they don’t win games.
Kouz!!!!
Am I hoping too much to ask for a Grand Slam here?
Nice work by Bell this inning.
#36@Turbine Dude: Sidearms and submariners usually have great control and keep the ball low.
Germano, Estes or Hene in the ninth?
Luke just got his 1st hit in the Show! And a double at that! Great
#48@Kevin: I was a Destroyer sailor. We used big guns, not sidearms.
Isn’t Estes starting this week…Wednesday?
We may actually be looking a two wins in a row. I’m dumbfounded and almost (almost) speechless.
GOOOCH!!!!!!!!!!
Good Lord, I can’t get over the grill on Corey. I feel bad for even mentioning it but damn!
are we allowed to win 2 in a row?
A veritable cornucopia of run scoring today….
Just wanted to use big words.
#54@Jeremy: I did not get a good look…is he a back-up catcher on the all-ugly team?
#56@Coronado Mike:
Kudos on the vocabulary
This game is such a pleasant Sunday shock. I am drinking out of happiness as opposed to trying to escape reality this time.
#57@Coronado Mike:
The reliever we picked up from Boston today. He is coming in now. You will see the chompers.
Allow my exhuberance to get the best of me ~ I want Carlin in the lineup tomorrow as well.
#56@Coronado Mike: So far we have experienced an inexplicable showing of honorific placement of harbivorous by-product into stitched bovine pelt spheres not seen in some time.
#59@Jeremy: Corey looks like a pirahna.
#62@Turbine Dude:
Yes, like Matt Dillon in “There’s Something About Mary”.
I forgot what it feels like to not have to play the bottom of the 9th. This is going to be strange.
Two strikes away from a 2nd win…
Make that one!
Doh.
Well, Spilborg is 0-2 today…
’stros getting to Broxton (is he done?), now up on Dogs 6-3 in top of 8th.
Woohoo! Nice play Gooch!
Holy Crap! We won another game!!!!!!!!!!
2 in a row!!!!!!
World Series here we COMEEEEEEEEEEE!
(A little too much enthusiasm, you say? Nahhhhh…)
How bout that…2 wins in a row…only one we lost was the one that I was at Friday night
Update on Prior … apologies if this has been posted already …
http://tinyurl.com/63gfze
Prior experiencing shoulder discomfort
Right-hander to be examined by team doctors on Sunday
#72@Mark O: Don’t go to anymore games!
#35@Richard D.: Try “has been good the entire time he’s been a Padre.”
Crabbe DFA’d
Carlin started the day game after catching Saturday night’s game because Josh Bard got an injection in his surgically repaired right wrist. Black said Bard is expected back Monday night in Chicago.
#76@Rich Campbell: for whom, I wonder?
#76@Rich Campbell: Where is that info?
