Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
There's the Jake Peavy we all know. He made a few mistakes, but for the most part was his old dominating self.
Lots of people had Ubaldo Jimenez being a great pitcher this year, he hasn't put up any results yet.
Nick Hundley put another homer on the board, he has already surpassed his career high of 5.
Cla Meredith came back from a day's rest and pitched a clean ninth to pick up another save.
Chase Headley continues to struggle, he's batting under .200. He's got potential, but at some point he may give up his permanent spot to Scott Hariston, who's on fire.
Another move might be giving David Eckstein another shot at second base, Edgar V. Gonzalez has hit a wall.
Couldnt pull it off
The Huskies were in it till the very end, losing 30-27 to Florida in overtime. This was just a great game. Huskies owned Florida for the first 3 quarters but quarterback Marques Cook came alive. He played his heart out and won the game for them single handly. Late in the 4th quarter Randy Carter threw an interception on 3rd and 10, which lead to Marques Cook hookin up with tailback James Burns for a 32 yard touchdown. Lucky for Randy Carter they left over a minute on the clock, giving him enough time to get them into fieldgoal range. In overtime The Huskies were forced to kick a fieldgoal and hoped the defense could stop the Gators. But Marques Cook wouldnt be deined and broke 3 tackles on the way into the endzone, to give Florida a 30-27 win. The Huskies must get this game out of their head because they will face off against #9 Ohio State in the last week of the season.Connecticut Huskies (9-1) at Florida Gators (10-1) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Greg Smith (2-2, 7.50 ERA) vs. Chris Young (2-1, 4.97 ERA)
Ron Burgundy's Thoughts
This is an interesting short two games series. We have our ace and number two starters going against two of their weaker pitchers, but Peavy and Young haven't exactly had top of rotation stuff. Peavy had one great start, then fell back to sub-par pitching in his last start. Chris Young is really starting to come around, he's somebody our rotation can fall in line with and be very successful. Our offense has been firing on all cylinders lately, Scott Hairston and Adrian Gonzalez have really jump started their games. We have to be careful though because the Rockies have a very potent offense. Ian Stewart is hammering the ball this year, and Dexter Fowler has been very active in being the best rookie in the NL so far this year. With a two game sweep here we can get right in the mix with the rest of the NL West, that's something we need to shoot for to keep our hopes alive for 2009. It's good to be back in San Diego, I'll see you all at Tino's after the game for some great steak and scotch.

Wake up call
The Huskies outlast upset-minded Pittsburgh in 3 overtimes 39-36. Pittsburgh kept it close all game and even had a chance to win at the end of the game, but missed a 53 yard fieldgoal. During the 2nd overtime period The Huskies took a very big risk by going for it on 4th and 5, thanks to a blown coverage The Huskies risk paid off big. The Huskies get jumped by Michigan in the polls. The Huskies have to travel to the swamp and face #5 Florida Gators. This will be by far the game of the year.

Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
Even though we dropped this game, we still end this four game stand with three wins against the division leader.
Jeff Niemann was not sharp at all out there today, he continues to be a roller coaster, high highs and low lows.
Heath Bell came in and pitched 3.2 innings of perfect baseball, he continues to impress after a slow start.
Everth Cabrera was all over the field today, he hasn't been getting on base much, but when he does the other team pays.
Manny Ramirez got on a roll today, when he's locked in there isn't much you can do with him.
Tonight we head back to San Diego for a much needed stop at Casa de Burgundy and I get to see my furry friend Baxter.

Huskies earn another win
Connecticut shows off their high powered offense, putting up 42 points on the Louisville Cardinals. The Cardinals just couldnt find a way to score or stop The Huskies. The Cardinals got lucky with a 92 yard kickoff return by Mike Hagen in the first, but after that it was all down hill for The Cardinals. The Huskies will travel to Hines Field to play the 2-7 Pittsburgh Panthers.

Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
That's three in a row from the division leaders, we are really picking up ground in this long series.
This win locks up a series win against the Dodgers, that's something to really be proud of right now.
Scott Hairston has been solid in the leadoff spot, his average has spiked to well above .300 since he was given the role.
Adrian Gonzalez is still swinging the stick, add another RBI to his total in this little streak.
Heath Bell was able to get a save in this game because Cla Meredith was unavailable since he's pitched three straight days.
Shawn Hill has been a huge asset for us, he lowered his ERA to under three in getting his first win of the season.

Gary Sheffield Hits 500th Home Run
Connecticut avoids upset
Connecticut scores the last 21 points to make a comeback for the ages. USF jumped out to a 24-10 lead at the halfway point in the 3rd quarter, dew to their amazing defense. USF's defense scored 14 of their 24 points but in the end Connecticuts offense was to much to shut down all game long. The Huskies also got help from its defense, who scored a touchdown late in the 3rd quarter. The Huskies are still in the hunt to play in the National Championship. The Huskies improve to 7-1 and will play Louisville next week.

Connecticut has no trouble putting the Mountaineers away early. Randy Carter is flawless, completing 18-19 passes for 200 yards and 2 touchdowns. West Virginia maded to many mistakes, including 7 penalties for 85 yards. It aslo didnt help that starting quarterback D.J. Nelson was knocked out of the game during the 2nd quarter.
Connecticut will look to keep trucking along and hope that Cincinnati or Boise State falls. The Huskies will host 2-6 USF.

Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
Talk about sending a message to the NL West, we aren't just going to accept last place.
So far we are 2 for 2 in this series against the best team in our division, that bodes very well for us.
Kevin Correia has been so strong this year, and he dominated today only giving up 3 hits in 8 innings.
Our offense was simply amazing today, homers from Gonzalez, Giles and Hundley. Those three are all on fire right now.
Adrian Gonzalez has been raking over the past week, it's no coincidence that we have a winning record over our last 10.
This win is bunching the NL West together, we are creeping up on the other teams during this stretch.

Ron Burgundy's Thoughts
Well my first month as the general manager of the San Diego Padres is in the book. We got off to a nightmare start, but things are really starting to turn around for us now. Our offense has been sputtering all month, but all signs point to the situation being straightened out. Adrian Gonzalez is supposed to be our superstar but he didn't perform like it most of the month. A positive is that he is still getting on base via the walk and leads our team in on base percentage. Our superstar has been Nick Hundley, somebody who plays catcher, a position we thought would be the first to need to be upgraded to succeed. The biggest downside to the month has been Jake Peavy. We thought he would be our All-Star of old, but instead he's only won one game and given up a huge chunk of runs. If he doesn't improve in the future I really don't know where that will leave him as a Padre. We are paying him a ton of money to not produce right now, but I know he'll be able to turn it around.
Well I'm ready for May, how about all of you? It's time to jump some spots in the standings and make a little noise. Things aren't going to get easy though, the NL West is a proverbial bear pit. But gentlemen, the Padres will be going into the bear pit full steam, and we are going to come out winners! I hope....Anyways, as always, it's been a pleasure to run your hometown team up to this point, and you stay classy San Diego.
