I like our chances against Marquis better than I did against Zambrano. Let’s Go Padres!
June 3, 2008 at 6:51 pm
GY, as always I enjoy the pre-IGD write-ups you do. I read through all of the posts and it seems the closer we get to the draft and the trade dead-line, the more long winded they become.
If I had more time in my day, I would probably devote more of it towards speculation. However, I don’t and resign myself to what may happen is what it is.
June 3, 2008 at 6:52 pm
#1@Pat: Zambrano is an animal. They got of lucky with him.
June 3, 2008 at 6:54 pm
Well, go get em Padres!!!!
June 3, 2008 at 7:00 pm
Unleash the offense!!!!! Go go get em boys!!!!! In LA again but with a quick internet speed so hopefully I’ll be able to mlbTV it. This town is going crazy with Laker flags on phat Escalades. Let’s go Padres…..Let’s go.
June 3, 2008 at 7:04 pm
Mike Cameron sent Randy Johnson into the record books with his strikeout tonight. I don’t miss those K’s, yet see them often on my current Padre team. Maybe Mike rubbed off on us?
Love for everybody.

#5@Oside Jon: Jon, not sure how I lived w/out MLB.TV up until now. I’ve been watching some of the Brewers v. DBacks game. This is the greatest thing since sliced bread! Does NFL.COM also have the same thing?
June 3, 2008 at 7:15 pm
#7@Turbine Dude:
No idea if NFL.COM has the same thing. I hope they do. WHy not? The technology is there. It’s great to watch whatever game is going on at the time. If only cable TV was like this. All of TV should be on demand. Whatever you want you can get. This is 2008……
Getting the SD channel 4 audio on mlbtv instead of the Cubbies feed. Diggin it.
June 3, 2008 at 7:25 pm
#8@Oside Jon: If you want the NFL all access pass for the season, buy it now. It’s $100. If you wait for the season to begin, it’s $280. But, they have it! I’m gonna buy it.
June 3, 2008 at 7:32 pm
Brewers are beating up the DBacks in the top of the 9th 7-1. Nice…
June 3, 2008 at 7:36 pm
Brewers just won.
June 3, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Great Job Greenie!
June 3, 2008 at 7:44 pm
3 in the bag for Will.
June 3, 2008 at 7:48 pm
OMG, our pitcher drew a walk? Wow.
June 3, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Marquis balks. Nice.
June 3, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Well, what will Tadahito do?
June 3, 2008 at 7:55 pm
Soriano is mister casual out there.
June 3, 2008 at 7:55 pm
nice tag on soriano by the pitcher
June 3, 2008 at 7:55 pm
I like OG’s patience here.
June 3, 2008 at 7:56 pm
The throw went to third, I thought Gerut would go to second.
June 3, 2008 at 7:57 pm
Holy Moly! That throw to 1st sucked. Thank God!
June 3, 2008 at 7:58 pm
Let’s go AGone!!! Light ‘em up!
June 3, 2008 at 7:59 pm
I’m suprised Lou P. hasn’t popped a blood vessel by now.
Way to go AGone!!!!!!!!!!!! Super Adrian!!!!!!!!
June 3, 2008 at 8:00 pm
AGON AGAIN!!!!!
June 3, 2008 at 8:01 pm
2-0 into the 4th. Lets hold them Will.
June 3, 2008 at 8:02 pm
2 runs is good with me.
When was the last time we had an RBI leader?
June 3, 2008 at 8:07 pm
I feel a Wil Ledezma implosion coming on…..
June 3, 2008 at 8:07 pm
#26@Oside Jon: Sheffield or Mc Griff?
June 3, 2008 at 8:08 pm
No, let’s give them 2 immediate baserunners, including one on a 4 pitch walk.
June 3, 2008 at 8:08 pm
Will the thrill, aims to please.
June 3, 2008 at 8:10 pm
#26@Oside Jon: Dave Winfield in 1979 (118) was the only Padre to ever lead the league in RBI for the season. I don’t know how to look for the last time a Padre led the league on any particular day within the season but I’d bet someone like Caminiti held a lead at some point in the 90s.
June 3, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Michael, that is not how you get in good with the umpire.
June 3, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Tough night on the ump.
June 3, 2008 at 8:15 pm
#33@Jeff: He’s one of the best plate umps in the MLB. Lucky Joe West isn’t in for this series.
June 3, 2008 at 8:20 pm
I think Ledezma is holding his own pretty well against a team like the Cubs tonight.
June 3, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Will’s pitching well and it’s a good thing we’re in PETCO.
June 3, 2008 at 8:22 pm
Well, at least he limited the damage and protected the lead. Nothing takes the wind out of your sails like allowing runs right after you scored some.
June 3, 2008 at 8:24 pm
I love Lou, He is great to watch.
June 3, 2008 at 8:25 pm
Very good, Barrett moves Pmac over, and Greene drives him in.
June 3, 2008 at 8:25 pm
At least Greene didn’t hit into a DP and got a RBI on the board.
What are the rules on that? (Ledezma play)
June 3, 2008 at 8:26 pm
It is nice to see the lead off walk score after last night.
June 3, 2008 at 8:27 pm
#38@Jeff: But he is class-less. Foul mouthed old man. And damn grouchy.
June 3, 2008 at 8:29 pm
#40@Turbine Dude: Double strike, two stroke penalty.
June 3, 2008 at 8:30 pm
You should read the Cubs blogs. There is certainly no love lost for Jason Marquis.
June 3, 2008 at 8:31 pm
#43@Field39: As long as he doesn’t have to go into the rough to look for the ball…
June 3, 2008 at 8:33 pm
#42@Turbine Dude: You’re right, but he isn’t our manager and I don’t have to listen to him.
June 3, 2008 at 8:38 pm
Well played by Ledezma.
June 3, 2008 at 8:40 pm
#47@Jeff: That was good ‘heads up’ ball by Will.
June 3, 2008 at 8:41 pm
Barrett is showing some fortitude behind the plate as well.
June 3, 2008 at 8:42 pm
This could be the at bat of the game.
June 3, 2008 at 8:43 pm
#50@Jeff: May as well walk him…
June 3, 2008 at 8:44 pm
My bad I forgot 1st was open. No this could be the at bat of the game.
June 3, 2008 at 8:45 pm
One more strike.
June 3, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Barrett has done a good job of protecting that plate tonight.
June 3, 2008 at 8:47 pm
Nice to see more Padres fans cheering tonight rather than Cubs fans.
June 3, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Not collecting that out at second, is starting to loom large.
June 3, 2008 at 8:48 pm
Wil the thrill! He’s making it exciting all right. But, not in a good way. Kind of in the Hoffman way.
June 3, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Lee has the ability to hit a GS.
June 3, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Can he get Lee a 2nd time?
June 3, 2008 at 8:51 pm
The thrill is gone.
June 3, 2008 at 8:52 pm
Will’s got to go. I mean, DFA’d.
June 3, 2008 at 8:52 pm
It could have been worse. Let’s hope Adrian’s bat can get us a couple of runs back. I think Buddy let Will go too long. But, Buddy makes more money than I do. So, who am I to say.
June 3, 2008 at 8:53 pm
I like how he went after these guy with his fastball when thing got tight. Game is on now.
June 3, 2008 at 8:53 pm
I know it’s nice for Ledezma to get a chance for a win. But the first priority is for the team to win, and Ledezma and his inability to throw strikes does not give the team the best chance in that bases loaded situation against Lee. Terrible decision to leave him out there.
June 3, 2008 at 8:56 pm
Corey is pulling to the left.
June 3, 2008 at 8:56 pm
Ledezma was alright. Again, he shows some really good pitching and then some really mediocre stuff. A mixed bag. The kind it is hard to rely on regularly. You need lots of rolaids.
June 3, 2008 at 8:58 pm
Nice, Corey.
June 3, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Thank you Brian.
Now the bats gotta get hot again. I lay this situation soley on Black’s shoulders. He should have yanked Ledezma two batters earlier.
My God this is a long game. 2 hrs. into it and it’s only the bottom of the 5th.
June 3, 2008 at 9:03 pm
#68@Turbine Dude: I think he wanted to see how Ledezma looked, when things got tight. The rest of this season is as much an audition, as anything else.
June 3, 2008 at 9:05 pm
wi#68@Turbine Dude: With Ledezma out it will speed up.
June 3, 2008 at 9:05 pm
#69@Field39: I see your point. But, if I feel a tire going flat, I don’t wait for a blowout to pull over and change it.
June 3, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Wow, didn’t we see this yesterday?
June 3, 2008 at 9:18 pm
A little sleepwalking for Iguchi.
June 3, 2008 at 9:19 pm
****. We can hang in for a few innings and then the wheels fall off again. If only the offense could score a few runs, there is still a lot of time left in this one. But, down 3 is almost impossible to overcome.
June 3, 2008 at 9:23 pm
#74@Geoff B: Seems to be this year. Our lack of quality starters is very evident.
June 3, 2008 at 9:25 pm
Greene! That’s gotta raise his average to at least .208!
June 3, 2008 at 9:27 pm
#76@Geoff B: He has to start the turn around, sooner or later. Doesn’t he?
June 3, 2008 at 9:29 pm
#77@Field39: Yes. So, it might as well be tonite. A single and a sac fly already. 3 for 4 with a HR and 2B tomorrow!
June 3, 2008 at 9:47 pm
#64@Ben B.: Well said.
June 3, 2008 at 9:56 pm
This is ridiculous. Good nite. Good bye to any momentum the Pads had a few days ago.
June 3, 2008 at 9:58 pm
Weeeeell, I’d say this game is pretty much over. Might as well get Trever some face time. He’s got nothing to lose now. Give him a work out for an inning.
June 3, 2008 at 10:09 pm
2 hits for Green tonight, maybe he is going to heat up.
June 3, 2008 at 10:11 pm
Rally time, Lou’s going to the pen.
June 3, 2008 at 10:16 pm
Nice hit by Edgar, they are not going down easy.
June 3, 2008 at 10:21 pm
OG takes a called strike three, right down the middle.
June 4, 2008 at 2:01 am
Gerut and McAnulty are starting to be impressive. They have on-base percentages of .356 and .352, respectively.
