Game #160 time:5:05 p.m. PT tv:4SD sp:Greg Maddux (13-11, 4.10) vs Chris Capuano (5-12, 5.09) pre:Padres.com, B-R.com This talk of tiebreakers makes my head hurt. Win three and the rest will take care of itself. Here's the plan: On offense, hit the ball toward Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder. On defense, keep the ball away from those two. Also, say nice things about Chris Capuano; then he can't hurt you. Go Padres!

Game #159 time:5:05 p.m. PT tv:4SD sp:Jack Cassel (1-1, 4.00) vs Yovani Gallardo (9-4, 3.59) pre:Padres.com, B-R.com Is there anything you wouldn't do to get either Prince Fielder or Ryan Braun in your lineup? On the bright side, Yovani Gallardo is Milwaukee's only good pitcher. If the Padres can steal one Thursday night...

first pitch: 1:05 p.m. PT television: Channel 4SD matchup: Jake Peavy (6-1, 1.63 ERA) vs Jeff Suppan (6-4, 3.49 ERA) previews: Padres.com | SI.com Free-agent acquisition Jeff Suppan got off to a surprisingly hot start (2.55 ERA in six April starts) that almost made his 4-year, $42 million contract palatable. Since then, however, his ERA is 5.11 in four May starts. At the end of the season, Suppan's numbers will look like they always do: he'll have made about 30 starts and finished with an ERA right around league average. In other words, he'll be Pedro Astacio or Ismael Valdez. And he'll be making a filthy amount of money in the process. I ...

first pitch: 7:05 p.m. PT television: Channel 4SD matchup: Justin Germano (2-0, 0.47 ERA) vs Claudio Vargas (3-0, 3.68 ERA) previews: Padres.com | SI.com Lame dad-type thing to say: Love the participation, but as a reminder to everyone, please take a moment to review the Comments Policy. If you think I'm scolding you, I'm not; just want to make sure this continues to be the best place for intelligent discussion of Padres baseball. Okay, enough of that. Kevin Kouzmanoff is on fire. Among National League batters with 50 or more plate appearances in May, nobody has a higher OPS than Kouz (1141). Also, his OPS at home (851) is more ...

first pitch: 7:05 p.m. PT television: Channel 4SD matchup: Greg Maddux (3-3, 4.14 ERA) vs Dave Bush (3-4, 5.56 ERA) previews: Padres.com | SI.com Here come the Brewers. Anthony Gwynn makes his San Diego professional debut. Prince Fielder and J.J. Hardy are tied for the league lead with 14 homers. Rickie Weeks has committed only two errors at second base (after 20+ each of the past two seasons). Closer Francisco Cordero has notched 17 saves and allowed just five hits. Cordero's numbers this year are plain goofy. Opponents are batting .083/.179/.133 against him. He's struck out 13.26 per nine or, if you prefer, 41.8% of batters he's faced (Jake Peavy is ...
