Open Thread: 4/27, Padres vs. Diamondbacks
Arizona Diamondbacks at San Diego Padres, Apr 27, 2008 1:05 PM PDT
Nice win yesterday, we really needed it. I should look it up but with all the extra innings we've played so far, we might have 4 games worth of innings built up. A loss yesterday would have been a real punch in the gut but luckily guys like Rusch stepped up and pitched 4 great innings and Iguchi came through with the walk off.
Today promises to be another great ball game where runs might be at a premium. Jake Peavy vs. Brandon Webb two great pitchers will battle it out for fortune and glory. Should be another warm afternoon as the temperature pushes into the 90's around the county.
If you're going to the game, remember your hats, glasses and sunscreen. Tip your hat to the Marine Recruits in the stands.
Go Padres!

Steve Quis
says “Notice Jackson isn’t going down to one knee on the swing anymore after Ledezma took care of that”.
what if
Ledezma just lost control…?
and now all our announcers made it seem like he did it on purpose…
i always like the way Mark Grant handles it “well… we don’t know if he was trying to hit him… we aren’t gonna say that” or whatever he says
