Two scary innings bookend Padres shutout win
If I would have told you that the Padres would record their 9th shutout against the Cardinals and that we'd only score on a Jerry Hairston Jr. home run, would you have believed me? The crazy thing is that a lot of you are probably saying, "Actually, yeah I can see that." This is how the Padres win, they're weird that way.
This game was bookended by two really scary innings. In the first, Garland gave up two hits, loaded the bases and somehow didn't give up a run. He would go on to pitch 7 scoreless innings.
Then in the ninth, Heath Bell didn't have much control over his pitches and gave up a single to Albert Pujols, walked David Freese and then finally relieved the tension by recording a save.
Go Padres!
Padres reclaim the best record in the National League and the second best record in baseball.

Typical Padres home victory.
Someone needs to tell the Dodgers that they are not allowed to score in Petco, and this season would be perfect.

to give Alyssa Milano a STD that works quickly..some sort of flesh-eating thing. I am sure it would go through the Dodger Clubhouse in a few days. Of course Kemp would have to wait until Broxton got it before he was infected.

"small ball"= scoring one run on four hits and winning 1-0 (also see losing a 2 hitter)
also, it was Jerriston hitting the bomb, not Adrian.
I know this wasn’t actually won with small ball, ie hitting a single, stealing second, moving to third on a passed ball, and scoring on a sacrifice, but I would say that that our win tonight was highly unlikely.

Of course I've seen it.
The reason I hate her so much is because I’ve watched so many videos and interviews of her to know what a f_cktard she is, both on and off the screen.

Drama could do way better
than K-Stew.
But in her defense, she has done better work before (i.e. – Adventureland, Into The Wild, Panic Room). She just sucks in those god-awful Twilight movies.

great game down at the ballpark
I practically slept through the 4th-8th innings because I have been conditioned to believe that once it’s 1-0, nothing’s happening until the 9th. A nice bit of tension at the very end with the “scary Heath” but I felt like we had it all the way.
however, I was shocked when they showed Manny striking out to end the Dodgers game on the big screen
and NOBODY CHEERED?! was it because of all the Cardinal fans bummed about the Cubs winning? I was hooting and hollering
Jamie Garcia
is the type of pitcher that we typically Cain

I thought that freese was going to get the game tying hit… two complete the 2008 edmonds cluster f*&k.
Just got home from the game
I think there was probably more action in the OT….I love seeing wins but it just felt like nobody was really into the game until the ninth.
