Padres beat Giants 4-2. GO THE DISTANCE.
It's always a team effort, but Tim "Magic Man" Stauffer has been second half MVP. He amaze.
This is all you can ask of your team. Go the distance. Play meaningful ball every game of the season.
There's one more game in hostile territory. We need one more. Finish strong. Finish strong. Finish strong.
GO PADRES!!!

According to Fox, the game would be at Atlanta

Hmmmmm.
Interesting. Are the Phillies going to field an A lineup or a B team?
The wait for 10/7 begins. This man is focused. Are you?
Probably similar to the last few nights.
A lineup or at least close to it for the first 5 to 6 innings, then rotate in bench guys the rest of the game. Charlie wants to get the bench guys at bats, but he’s really concerned about the integrity of the game, too.
by Jim_in_Philly on Oct 2, 2010 4:40 PM PDT up reply actions
Respect him for that.
Philly has put their foot on the NL and stamped all over it the past two months. Although it seems to me that it’s kind of in their best interests for a game 163/164 situation to burn out the rest of the NL and screw up the pitching staffs.
The wait for 10/7 begins. This man is focused. Are you?
Same here.
They could have laid down, but they’re not taking their foot off the pedal.

Well, as a fan, I wouldn’t mind if our potential competitors had to play 2 extra important games (no offense, of course!), but Charlie actually had an interview where he mentioned he wouldn’t be able to look Bud Black in the eye if the Phils just chucked these games away. So there ya go!

He can shut up and shut down the Giants with a big time performance etching himself as one of the top pitchers in the league. Or (this won’t happen) he could find his inner Jake Peavy and suck in the big game.
Latos is my favorite player and I have a lot of confidence in him that he’ll get it done tomorrow. Hopefully Atlanta loses manana, that would be some kinda nice.
Mat Latos is the real deal...Go Lakers, Pads, and Bolts
He'll get it done.

This will tell us a lot about Mat's current level of development,

I have tons of faith in Mat tomorrow.
But Buddy needs to make an agreement with him- if he let’s his emotions get out-of-hand, he’ll be taken out. Regardless of how well he pitches, Latos needs to stay strong during the challenging moments of the game. That’s the key factor of the game, really.
Mat's got a chance tomorrow
to permanently etch himself into Padre lore. Get ’er done, Mat.

Word i’m hearing is that Manuel’s going to throw out Hammels for 2-3 innings, and Oswalt for 2-3 innings after him.

After [Brooks] Conrad fielded a potential double-play grounder and made an errant throw to second base at Turner Field on Saturday afternoon, the Phillies took advantage of the opportunity to construct the four-run seventh inning

I'm a White Sox fan first and foremost, but the Pads have been my fave NL team since 1984
when they came back from a two game deficit to win three in a row from the hapless Cubbies in the NLCS. I was pullin’ for ya in the WS back then, and I’d love to see the Pads in there this year.
Tomorrow’s game 162 is gonna be wild. Oh Doctor!!

NBC's Don Drysdale:
“Groundball to Durham…RIGHT THROUGH HIS LEGS!!! Here comes Martinez, we’re tied at three!”
Epic gag.
I'm not sure but..
I have MLB channel muted on the b.g. and it just scrolled by that they will be showing either the Pads/Giants or the Dodgers/Dbags tomorrow! Subject to local blackout rules. I hope that’s right. I hope it’s not blacked out here if so.
I wear the Taco hat...
I know this doesn't mean a damn thing to us or our situation....
….but I think it’s hilarious that the f*cking Rockies are 8 games back.
THIS.
And in that last Rockies-Giants series, even though the Giants had a half game lead over us, people were bitching about not wanting to root for the Rockies. Saying that they wanted the Giants to win so the Rockies could be eliminated.
And when I told them the Rockies were done and it was stupid to root for the one team standing in the way of our division lead, they laughed at me and asked me if I remembered 2007.
NO. I ACTUALLY FORGOT ALL ABOUT 2007. DO YOU FCUKS REMEMBER 2010? That was when the only thing standing in the way of us and first place was a Giants loss to the Rockies. But you wanted the Giants to win because you were scared of a team who beat us to the playoffs THREE YEARS AGO. A team who was coming off a five-game losing streak and sinking. Well guess what. CONGRATULATIONS. You wanted the Giants to win that series and they did. And now we’re forced to beat them on the last day of the season.

Winning two games is nice and all, but that's not good enough for me
Hell, winning the division with a PHI win would be awesome, but I want more.
Winning the NLDS would be fantastic, but it still won’t satisfy.
Taking on the Phillies and beating them at their own game would be phenomenal, but even that won’t do.
Making it to the World Series…that should be enough, but it just isn’t.
A Ring.
Hosting the Commoner’s Trophy.
A Parade in the Gaslamp Quarter.
Watching the faces of everyone who doubted us (and I include myself in this category) as Joe Buck and Jerry Coleman announce the San Diego Padres as the victors of the 2010 World Series…that’s what I want.
And I want the respect that it will come with.
And I won’t be satisfied until I see it.
Go Padres.

Latos is pitching tomorrow. Gulp.
I’m not too worried about him being able to rise to the occasion— he’s handled the Giants before— but if we should clinch tomorrow, expect broken ribs.
The Padres are good, but make no mistake: we've gotta beef up the linwup.

Latos is definitely gassed and hit the wall in September
I’d almost rather have Luebke pitch
but it seems Padres pitchers have dug deep and pitched their asses off for 5 of the last 6 games.
The one blip was Latos…who started well, but tired in the 5th.
I hope Buddy has a very very short hook tomorrow
and I hope he doesn’t need to use it.
Go Padres
"I post like canned meat."
I think Latos knows the stakes in this one
As does Black.
Just get him through 5 innings of solid pitching, and let the bullpen take over.

Man, was that sweet! God bless my Giants-fan uncle (just not tomorrow) who not only paid 60 bucks for a scalped ticket for me, but honored our bet from the Friday night game and cheered with me every time the Pads scored today (best bet ever, btw)!
That place was rocking at the end… right up until our double play. Witnessing that string of extremes + screaming in the face of the jerk behind me who had hit his dirty orange towel on my hat = priceless.
FUCK YEAH!!!
Worked a 4 to midnight shift, missed everything.

Question:
Is it wrong that a part of me hopes that Atlanta wins today as well as us, so there’s still a chance San Francisco can lose and complete one off the worst Playoff-Qualification choke jobs in history?
Yes
I’d much rather SF wins the WC so they can beat PHI for us. Then we can make one final statement that they are the inferior team in the NLCS.
Eliminating them ourselves > them choking vs ATL.

Well thanks Phillies
Its always nice when a team is so pussy that they have to let a team in because they do not want to play another.
