Around SBN: VIDEO: Austin Rivers' Buzzer Beater Finishes Off UNC

Game Thread: 4/9, San Diego vs. San Francisco

San Diego Padres at San Francisco Giants, Apr 9, 2008 7:15 PM PDT


Justin Germano vs. Jonny Sanchez vs. the bitter cold wind of San Francisco.  I was at the game this time last year and froze my jock off.  I do not envy those fans in the stands.

Justin is coming off a pretty decent outing last week against the Dodgers, but he wasn't able to capture the win.  That should be remedied tonight with any luck.

Let's also try do something new, in order to add a degree of difficulty let's focus more attention on recommending our favorite comments.  Just click on "action" and "recommend", when you find a comment particularly informative or hilarious.  After three recommends the comment will magically turn green so that all others may be alerted to its greatness like the Green Lantern's ring or Bruce Banner.

I'm going to go play on my winless softball team while you folks watch the first few innings.

Go Padres!  Go winless softball team!

Good luck tonight Padres fans. As a Giants fan I'm hoping that Sanchez can continue with the high strikeouts without giving up the runs this time.

Gotta say

Germano's pitching a pretty good game. 2 hits, 1 walk, no runs, 57 pitches (the exact same as Sanchez), a good number of fly outs and ground outs. And that last inning was a nice efficient piece of work. If he can follow up on that by keeping his pitch count down, he won't be too bad for a #5 starter, huh?

Poor Justin

I don't know that I think he needs to be pulled (I'll admit, that fly ball scared me though. . .). He's only at 73 pitches, pretty efficient last inning. I don't know why he can't give us 7.

Then again, with the off day tomorrow, I guess there's no reason for him to give us 7. The bullpen'll get to rest when everyone else does.

Luckily, the NL is pretty terrible

The Rockies played sub-.500 ball for most of a season and won a pennant last year.

The Cardinals were TERRIBLE for large portions of 2006.

The Diamondbacks were OUTSCORED BY THEIR OPPONENTS LAST YEAR and won the West.

This kind of .500 mediocrity after a week is nothing. We can be so much more mediocre and still succeed.

Padres lost

I think the Padres should focus more on getting runs in. Cause about every time they get hits they can't bring them home. They should practice on hitting and keeping their eyes on the ball. Because the last game of the series against San francisco the whole lineup accept scott hairston got striked out

Thanks
