Padres still undefeated against Giants, win 3-1
I missed most the game, but don't worry about me I've got it on DVR and I've watched the highlights on the Postgame show with Bob Scanlan and Jenny Cavnar. I'm going to be just fine.
The Giants are not going to be fine. We have been unusually cruel to them this year. If I'm counting correctly, that's seven straight games that we've beaten San Francisco. We're back with a 1.5 game lead again in the NL West.
I see that everybody is angry at those two fools that ran on the field, during Heath Bell's save. I figure people running on the field is part of baseball. It's going to happen, I don't get too worked up about it, but that's me.

Was at the game
Crowd chanting taze him was pretty funny. But the best chant of the night was in the ninth inning after the double and Giant fans were getting loud and everyone started chanting 7 and 0. 7 and 0.

What's up with Correia?
Shouldn’t he be starting on Thursday (following Jon Garland)? According to Padres.com, it’s Wade LeBlanc. What gives?
Funeral maybe??

I seriously hope that they weren't Padres fans.
If they were, it’s a huge disgrace to Padres fans everywhere.

Running on the field during a save attempt is a major faux pas.
Running on the field with something painted on your chest that can’t be read from the 12th row is just dumb. I hope those idiots were Giants fans.
I'm going to tonight's game,too.

Still can't believe Cain actually wiped out the SD on the mound
Does anyone know if any of the players said anything about it after the game? Someone needs to go Dallas Braden on Cain.

Went to yesterday's game
That was decent pitching and some absolutely pathetic offense.
Venable and Blanks need to go back down to AAA. When Blanks struck out that was improvement because the ball didn’t go a negative distance (in that his previous two he fouled out). Venable just looks like he has no idea what’s going on.
Oh and if you jump out on the field to make a spectacle of yourself, you should be tasered. Multiple times. Put it in the contract

I think Blanks needs a trip to the DL
he isn’t even hitting fastballs. Mud, Endberg, and Gwynn were talking about how when a batter has a weakness, the pitchers will take advantage of it. Blanks’ weakness seems to be fastballs down the middle.

I actually DO think this is what it is... as I have said over and over...
Its creepy how often the man just stares at the pitchers instead of looking at the ball.

They have access to state of the art vision assesment.
I would assume they all get tested on a annual basis.
Venable has been our 5th best hitter so far this season. Why in the hell would we send him down to AAA?

5th best hitter or 5th most productive offensive player?
Because most numbers I’ve seen include SBs, which seem to be where he’s getting a lot of his value. However, if he can’t get on base much anymore that value is unlikely to persist.
However, that was more of a point of order than a referendum on what we should do with Venable. In this homestand we have seen that he is starting to get on base again, so sending him anywhere at this moment seems ill-timed.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
Bolts from the Blue - General Manager: It is what it isn't
I was going by wOBA which to the best of my knowledge does not include his stolen bases.

wOBA does include SB and CS
I believe the formula is:
wOBA = (.72*NIBB + .75*HBP + .9*S + .92*ROE + 1.24*D + 1.56*T + 1.95*HR + .25*SB – .5*CS)/PA

I hope to God he was a Giants fan. I can’t imagine any real Padres fan who, in his right mind, would so enthusiastically enjoy seeing those two dumbsh_ts running onto the field, especially when Heath is about to lock up the game. “You’re my hero!” Seriously? You’re a moron.
Yeah, running on the field is just an expected part of baseball. When you’re in high school. Keep that sh_t out of my house. Stay off our field during the game or get your ass tased.
