Iguchi out of the #2 spot and resting. Awesome. Go crazy tonight Edgar with a three hit night and keep “Gooch” there for awhile.
Looks like Prior was a total bust.
#2@Turbine Dude: It was a solid risk to take, though.
#2@Turbine Dude: He was only $1m, I think that was certainly a worthwhile gamble.
#3@Richard Wade: #4@Schlom: I’m not saying it was a bad idea. It was just a bust.
#5@Turbine Dude: No doubt about that. Be interesting if he ever pitches another inning at the major league level — I have my doubts on that.
Outstanding play by Huber.
Nice hit Mr. Barrett.
Hey Mikey, we like it!
I don’t like sacraficing, with a runner on third and less than two outs.
The Prof. comes through as usual.
Well, we’ve had three innings of good pitching and several squandered rallies already. Looks like we’re right on schedule for the Cubs to break through in the 4th and watch the Pads wheels fall off.
WAAAAAY OT:
Guess who’s playing for the Camden Riversharks of the independent Atlantic League:

Brian Lawrence
And Donaldo Mendez plays for the Long Island ducks
#13@Nick G: That doesn’t suprise me. What does is that you actually cared enough to look him up and post it.
Out of the corner of my eye, while watching the pre-game show, I saw that there was a roster move today but I missed what it was. Anyone know?
#15@Turbine Dude: Just looking for a ballgame to go to. The Bridgeport Bluefish are the closest team to me. And I love seeing ex ML ballplayers.
You start mining the rosters around the league, and you see names like Calvin Pickering, Pete Rose Jr (!), Lawrence and Mendez.
And just slightly off-topic.
I just love the pre-game ladies. Makes an old guys heart flutter. Jenny can wear those glasses too – she’s a cutie. And has anyone noticed that the necklines on Christy’s tops are plunging oh so nicely?
There now, I feel better !
#17@Nick G: Gotcha. Understand.
Does anyone else think, BTW, that Donaldo Mendez should win some type of award for being the epitome of the late 90s- early 2000s Padres?
Chicago 4th right on time.
#19@Turbine Dude: And I also am a little geeky like that.
#12@Steve: You might want to consider a quick trip to Las Vegas.
#22@Nick G: Well, you live in New Jersey. You have the Sopranos to be proud of.
#24@Turbine Dude: Actually I don’t even have that, b/c I live in Connecticut.
So, I have submarines and Louis Lunch (“birthplace” of the hamburger).http://louislunch.com/
Nice rip by Kouz.
#20@Nick G: Don’t forget about Santiago Perez !
#26@JP: OK — completely forgot about him.
Man they were really, really bad back then
Lily’s looking pretty good this inning, unfortunately
#25@Nick G: Nick, neat link.
Peavy throwing well.

.200 from a former Silver Slugger. Honestly, I’d rather see Carlin in there. At least his defense is a plus. .029 in average is not enough to warrant the free reign Barrett grants opposing runners.
#28@Turbine Dude: Best burger I’ve ever had. It’s a tiny little dive in downtown New Haven. They give you a really hard time if you ask for Ketchup or mustard (condiments mean the meat is inferior, so they don’t have them there).
Anyway, guys, it’s been real, I’m retiring for the night — 11:15 eastern. Hopefully we can salvage one game of this series.
Nice DP. Glad to see Soriano strike out.
#16@LoyalSufferer: Was I imagining? No one has responded so it sure appears so .
Thru the Cub 6 tied 1 to 1, I feel extra innings coming on.
We need a point.
Nice pop OG!!!!!!!
What a crappy throw! The baseball Gods smiled on us with that one.
We have had some CF in here who have caught that hit, thx Edmonds. What? Nice airmail, lets take advantage.
Lilly looks like his wheels are wobbly and ready to fall off.
My god, this team is terrible.
OG was safe!!!
He was safe.
#41@Turbine Dude: I thought so in real time, but the replay indicates otherwise.
In other news, Edmonds is still a dork.
Well, what a kick in the groin that inning was. Set the tally for wasted opportunities to three, now.
That was Maddux’s chance for a win.
Now Edmund’s can play defense.
#43@Geoff Young: Every replay I saw showed his foot coming across the plate before hand. Doesn’t matter now. Can’t fix stupid.
Yes, Edmonds is a dork.
Two balks called in this series. Wow.
What the hell was Hairston swinging at? That pitch was way high and inside.
Scotty pops up, on a pitch over his head. Can it get any wosrse?
Ouch, another trip to the well and we’re empty. Edgar will be happy to see Lilly leave town.
#46@Field39: Edmonds not Edmund’s.
Our ability to squander scoring opportunities is astounding.
#52@Richard Wade: A dog by any other name.
OG deserves a Golden Glove for that effort.
Great catch G, now lets get a hit.
As much as I would love to endure this torture, 4:15 am comes awfully quick. Good night all. Go Padres!
Too bad for Maddux, getting another no decision. Oddly he’s not the worst in the majors in run support, there are actually 9 pitchers below him:
http://tinyurl.com/4qz3b6
The bottom three are Byrd, Felix Hernandez and John Lannen.
Runner on 3rd, where have we seen this before. Kouz needs to get in the air here or better yet another hit.
Nice Kouz, Now lets hold em.
Fontenot, Soriano and Theriot the first three batters. If Trevor couldn’t shut down the Giants crappy lineup, I’m not feeling too confident about his chances coming up here.
#61@Schlom: I couldn’t agree more.
1 down.
K. Death.
2 down.
Soriano. K.
Taxes.
Trev’s got the good stuff tonite! Nice recovery so far…
#61@Schlom: The crappy Giants are in theory going to be more familiar with Hoffman which ought to help them.
Lee wanted that one!
Looks like we got Good Trevor tonight. That was beautiful.
D. Lee
K.
Hoffman.
Struck out the side.
#67@130tom330: Hoffman has above average major league stuff, yes.
Anyone that thinks this guy is “done” is wrong.
Magnifico. Hoffy does it.
Typical Padre win. 2-1 tight ball game now bring on the Mets.
Good job, Trevor.
Keep it up.
So he makes 3 of the 4 Cub batters look silly but gives up 3 runs to the horrible Giants. Strange.
#61@Schlom: You know better than to use that sort of comparison when you know darn well that they are all tough at this level.
#22@Nick G: You might say I won that battle but lost the war… and I couldn’t be happier.
Made ‘em look pretty bad there. Good to see Trev recover from Sunday’s debacle. Having spent the last two nights at the park, it’s great to see those Cub fans drop one. There is no team that travels like the Cubbies, almost as bad as Red Sox nation’s invasion last year! i cant remember ever seeing so many Cub fans @ PetCo, guess they were especially obnoxious cause we’re struggling and they seem to be winning so easily. Bring on the Mets!!! Go Pads
Err whoops, that should have been in response to #23
Gonzalez still leads the NL in RBIs with 55.
