Padres defeat Nats and lock up first place through May

PrintI think my favorite part about locking up first place for two months is the first placeness of it, coupled with starting the summer in first place. It feels like it's been a while.
I'm shocked - SHOCKED - that tonight wasn't a sellout. Do people really not like the 5:30PM starts? I know it's the Nats, but c'mon.
Actually, what am I talking about. I was at home eating a taco.
GO PADRES!!!

Padres have had 4 home Saturdays
One was against the Dodgers and sold out. One was the first Saturday game where the opponent was the DBacks and had over 31,000. And the third actually had slightly less attendance; 25,619 vs the Brewers the day after Beerfest.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.

The next home Saturday I believe is the scarf giveaway against the hated Mariners
I will be in attendance helping the cause.

What do you make stuff up like that
They are our natural rivals. Its freaking nature. Like dogs and cats.

They do need a trophy for the yearly series though
Rivalries are always better with trophies.

I was thinking the "Pacific Trophy"
Where the winner gets the Pacific Ocean. If we tie I suppose we can share it.

75% of the Padres' hits were for extra bases

Our knack for avoiding big losing streaks is really nice
Only 1 losing streak of 3 games (the Dodger sweep). All other losses have come as solo losses or 2 game streaks.

Yea it's huge
We always bounce back after a loss or a couple of losses. We have avoided a losing streak which is crucial. Let’s win another series tomorrow.
Mat Latos is the real deal...Go Lakers, Pads, and Bolts

That's a big difference between this year and last.
In 2008 and 2009 we’d have stretches of losing like 12 of 13 games, with a lone win sandwiched between six game losing streaks.

Its hard to get on a losing streak when you have shut-down pitching.
That, and the defense shows up most every game even when the hits are hard to come by.

Hopefully with Garland pitching
They can at least finish the series tomorrow.

are the Mets playing any good lately
what do the P match ups look like for Mets series ? ..obviously want to rack up as many wins as possible before pitching hits inevitable rough patch . Our home June schedule is not terribly difficult…we do however go on the road to Philly for four and play the Rays for three at Tropicana…

Pitching Matchups
Correa-Takahashi
LeBlanc-Pelfrey
Richard-Santana
Santana has the highest ERA of those 3 pitchers and his is 3.03.
They had won 5 in a row before losing Friday and today to Milwauke

Pitching.
Beat the Phils 3 straight times. Nats non-win nirvana. Phils won the next one and even for Halladay’s perfecto they only managed one unearned run.
Ian Desmond...because the future starts now for the Washington Nationals.
Muts are only 6-16 on the road this season.

Speaking of tacos
The airheads sitting behind me thought that there were actually people out somewhere MAKING THE TACOS FOR US. And that they’d get real tacos, rather than coupons for them.
There were a ton of empty seats. Man.
Fortunately for them JiTB is not too far from the stadium.

during the dogger series
I was drowning out chants of “lets go dodgers” with “I love tacos!”. Most people just gave me very confused looks.

Did people not realize it was The Savior's bobblehead night?
I now have a shrine to pray to when watching the games at home….I walked away with 3 of them, if any of that couldn’t make it out, let me know and I’d gladly send it your way.

Somebody get Venable out of the leadoff spot, please ...
but I guess until E-Cab comes back it’s going to be his spot.
Since no one on this team can hit in the lead off slot.
They should just leave Gwynn there and limit the damage.
How about we give Denorfia
A crack at the leadoff spot? There really isn’t anyone Except E-Cap and Scotty that could pull this off, so why not Denny? What do we have to lose?

A little off topic...but still baseball
Some UC Scores tonight
It came up in the open thread earlier, but UCSD lost Div. II championship 6-4
UCR destroyed UCD 26-7
UCI beat LBSU 6-1
I think UCSB beat UoP but I’m not sure
And I don’t know about Cal or UCLA
"Speak softly and wear a loud shirt" - Kimo's Rules
Cal and UCLA
are both out of the running for the Pac-10 championship (Pac-10 does not have a tournament) as #2 ASU clinched the title with a win on Saturday. Cal won their game on Saturday against #21 Oregon team and #7 UCLA lost to #20 WSU. UCLA needed an ASU loss, a win of their own and a win on Sunday to take the title. UCLA will be in the College World Series Regionals and Cal most likely will end their season vs Oregon on Sunday.
