Regardless of whether the word means what I think it does, that was an unlikely win. Down 5-1 in the ninth on the road? Great work by the bullpen again, although they’ve now logged 15 innings in two days. Brian Lawrence needs to bust out the old efficiency cap on Tuesday. (Efficiency cap? Really.) Game [...]

In-Game Discussion: Padres @ Cardinals (8 May 2005)
first pitch: 11:15 a.m., PT television: Channel 4 matchup: Tim Redding (0-4, 6.00 ERA) vs Jason Marquis (4-1, 2.85 ERA) game previews: ESPN | CBS SportsLine | SI Padres look to complete a most unlikely four-game sweep at Busch Stadium.

Some music I try not to think about at all, some I don’t care to hear but enjoy playing, some inspires me to play, and some just makes me want to stop playing altogether and do nothing but listen. Pretty much everything by the late Jeff Buckley falls into that last category. What a shame [...]
