The Giants have no concept of personal space.  With a win today the Padres take one big step away from them and remain in sole possession of first place in the division.

Tim Stuaffer has really stepped up for a struggling rotation.  He threw 6 scoreless innings and worked himself out of some tight spots.

Yorvit Torrealba's opposite field home run into the Petco porch was the difference maker today.  It was all the Padres pitchers needed.  Heath Bell recorded his 40th save.  Win #80 is in the books.

Tomorrow is Latos vs. Lincecum.  Can't wait.  Get down to the Park!!

Go Padres!
