San Diego Padres at Colorado Rockies, Aug 10, 2008 12:05 PM PDT
Peavy hasn't beaten the Rockies since September of 2005 or so says Steve Quis, but on the other hand Chris Young can't help but beat the Rockies. He's 5-1 lifetime, so says the UT. What do I say?
Go Padres!!
Dex has this to say:
Did you guys catch Matty V at the Olympics? He looks so growns up.
Go Padres!!

Hey girlfriend!
CY was trying his hardest, but Garret Atkins put an end to it, finally.

F that! We've got at leat 2 position players
and 3-4 pitchers of character that I can think of. We only need a few more. As Briles said in that article, it’s just a matter of missing a few pieces. This team isn’t nearly as crappy as te record indicates. This team should be a lot better than it is. That’s what’s so damn painful!

You know what I wonder?
Maybe B Giles was so peeved over the whole waivers thing that he stuck his foot up the *ss of the entire team telling them he was sick of this losing crap and wanted to see some hustle out there. I can totally see it. He decided that if hijinks weren’t getting through to everyone, it was time for a more direct approach.

Yeah. LF is still typically the worst outfielder on your team. I like it though. Easier transition from 3rd.

See, he's already got the infield experience.
Plus, LF is where you put someone when their position is blocked but you want their bat in the lineup. He could make the 2B-3B transition, I think. I haven’t seen him play much at 3B. Anyone around here get to ogle the kid while he was in the minors?

He basically juumped from SA to SD
But he was the Texas league player of the year for 2007, I think. I could be making that up.

One thing I have to say about CY
I wasn’t watching the game live, but based on what gameday was showing, he seemed to be getting squeezed – especially at the bottom of the zone. Once he got frustrated with that, that seemed to be when he lost control of the zone. It also accounts for a good chunk of his high pitch count – which contributed to him losing control also.
