The game was blacked out for me last night and I was getting frustrated just listening to it so after the Padres were up by 5 and Maddux's perfect game was broken up, I turned it off and read a book I just got recently, What is the What, which is about a Sudanese refugee and how difficult his life is. That's a Padres fan for you. Even when things are going fantastic, I purposely go with the downer.

- What should we do about the "lack" of hitting? Let's ask Union-Tribune readers in the form of a poll. What would be the most popular answers? What would UT readers want to select as an answer? Hmmmmm...
- Relive last night's game, through the magic of the box score!
