Open Thread: 8/26, Padres vs. Phillies
Jon and I ran a little race this morning and we were taking a bus back to the start line. We were talking about how bad it must suck to be in the minor leagues and taking buses all over the league. How do you take an eleven hour bus ride in the middle of the night then get off and play your best baseball? That's gotta be one of the biggest motivating factors when you're sent down from the bigs. No wonder Hensley hates it down there and realizes he took his time in the majors for granted. Which brings up the point, Hensley was sent down to make room for Stauffer. He can't be brought up again for ten days. Our bus ride was only like 10 minutes and we couldn't wait to get off.
Early game today for all the west coasters. Game starts at 10:35 and it's Tim "Boy Wonder" Stauffer vs. Kendrick.
Keep winning! Go Padres.

Odds on Bradley getting HBP?
He's also breathed some life into a team which I had a hard time finding out who was the team leader prior to his arrival.
I won't say he's the leader yet, but it appears he can get some folks to rally around him.

I'm not sure
And my guess is that the umpiring crew apprised both teams that they won't put up with anything today.

What a brilliant decision by management.
I say screw him...this game is over. Let him pitch all nine innings. The next four games mean more to me than a guy they should have cut after he shit his pants in Houston with an 11 run lead.

Sidenote on Boomer
Our record against old, wily soft-tossing lefties (Glavine, Moyer) is pretty good lately. After watching those two games, I'm not that worried about Boomer...
Plus I read that the Padres have scored more runs in the 5th inning this year than any other inning. And we all know when Boomer starts to implode.
by goose1 on Aug 26, 2007 11:32 AM PDT 0 recs
We've scored 7 or 8 runs a game on this road trip
C'mon timmy--how about 6 shutout innings?
I almost typed that with a straight face.

Saving the bullpen I guess
That was a big chance we just squandered. Even 2 runs changes the way the game looks.
