Hooray for wins!

Just for the record, Gerut has 365 career major league PA against lefties, and in them he has a .597 OPS. I don’t really like Clark hitting either, but no one on the bench has hit at all this year, and at least Clark has had a really nice eye (.381 OBP).

And Range Factor, iirc, is Putouts + Assists divided by defensive innings played.

#124@Field39: I think it will be Huber. Neither is hitting particularly well (Clark is hitting better than Huber) and although Huber has more "upside," Clark is thought to be a "leader." I just hope Headley is the starting DH and not Clark. #126@130tom330: Second that priceless comment. The Mets fans were annoying tonight.

#112@JP: Make that a great start by Leblanc, and some good hitting off of Dan Meyer (the “haul” for Tim Hudson).

Re: Leblanc, mixes his pitches well. was actually setting up the bugs bunny changeup, ~72, with a 78 change and a fastball with surprising giddyup (87-92!). maybe the sacramento gun was fast. Not a single ball was hit really hard, the double was a grounder inside the bag at third. Whatever was going on with him earlier in the season (tipping the change?) seems behind him, that’s 3 great starts in a row.

Headley hit a booming 400 ft double (right-handed) to the base of the wall in center, and also had a couple of singles. Ambres and Myrow look like hitters, too. Antonelli really looks lost, getting himself in pitcher’s counts and taking pretty defensive hacks. His low BABiP may just be sustainable…

Will be at the game again tomorrow, should be able to report back on Geer and the gang.

#124@Field39: My money's on Clark, what have you done for me lately. Huber can hit (sometimes) and doesn't have to be pinch run for. He may not be able to throw accurately all the time, but he can catch a fly ball without help from a GPS nav system (unlike Magellanulty).

Just got back from the game. A win is always fun, it's all interesting to see the new ways Padres can get out of a beses loaded situation with less than 2 outs and not score a run.... #124@Field39: Huber most likely. He's pretty much a waste of a roster spot right now.

Just got home… Another 2-1 win, 4 in a row, thats a b-ball record I heard. I hope everyone voted for my boy Scotty on the post-game tonite. Kid is on fire!!! 3-4 last night, great night on D tonite (again) and a flair for the dramatic is certainly the best way to describe it. Go Padres!

btw, it was great to watch the crushed looks on Mets fans at the park tonite, how can they lose three in a row to the “pop-gun Pads?”

Parking: $10.00

Hot dog, peanuts and a beer :$19.00
watching NY fans wander out dejected: PRICELESS (earn 1 more beer : )

Adrian gets some SI love:

With all this star power at the position one first sacker gets completely lost: San Diego’s Adrian Gonzalez.
He leads the NL with 55 RBIs. That’s 15 more than Pujols and seven more than Berkman. At his current pace Gonzo will finish with 44 homers, 144 RBIs and 102 runs.

KT has said a couple of times, that Chase will be up before the next interleague series. Who is odd man out? Huber? Clark?
