Padres pounce on Pirates then give up 5 runs then win 8-5
Adrian Gonzalez went 4 for 4 tonight including a shift beating bunt. Feeling the pressure of Adrian's brisk walk to first base the Pirates' pitcher McDonald threw the ball away and Adrian speed walked to second base.
Jerry Hairston also did nice things. He went 2-4 with a big homer. Miguel Tejada did more plate sliding than a primordial Earth. Chase Headley made such rad plays at third that I chuckled that Kouz's glove is in the Hall of Fame.
Kevin Correia was awesome tonight until the 7th inning when he gave up 3 hits and a walk. I'll never forget the look on Correia's face when earned runs started crossing the plate at a furious pace. I guess when Bud Black has a 7 run lead he plays it loose. The Pirates took advantage and scored 5 unanswered runs.
A buttload of other stuff happened too, but the Padres held onto the lead and took another series win. The boys now have a 20-13-4 series record.
Throwback Thursday tomorrow. Be there!
Go Pads!

I know what name is removed
Guess you weren’t kidding
And we forget their names in a day or less and they’re never missed.

was at the game, good times for all
but a part of me really missed the OT here. some Hall of Fame quotes were dropped today.
I hate the Cubs
Gaslamp Ball Game OT: "Makes you happy in the pants"
MLB Network: "Keep believing!"
Heat: "Uhh, no. We know."
Evan Meek
gave a guy heckling him a D-generation X suck it in the bullpen last night. He also played a game of paper rock scissors with a guy in the crowd.
David likes him already

like to bury the Rox
down 4-0 to Mets after 8. Hard to believe that the Rockies don’t have one last push left in them. 8.5 back after today would be sweet.
Sooooo Stoked
If only the Cubs were so helpful.

Oh, I'm not whining at all.
Obviously I want them to beat our division rivals….especially the Giants…but as far as I’m concerned, those f*ckers can lose every other game they play.
Yes, Santana CG shutout win over the Rockies!!!

Johan Santana charged with third-degree assault of Rockies lineup. Four-hit shutout, 10 K’s. Two hrs 18 mins.
No, I don't think you're an idiot. Please don't go trying to prove me wrong about that.
