        But I want it to be over...

        Why must the Padres ruin my prediction?

            Now, if we win one game this series, I'd be surprised. Bullpen is going to get taxed early on and the offense is full of rally killers like Giles and Kouzmanoff. Why can't those two just disappear along with their bats?
            Foot meet mouth, or crow meet taste buds.

            Two straight nights the offense picked up our starter having a bad outing. They scraped away at the 6 run lead and ended up taking the game. Nice job by Heath to close out the game with the tough part of their lineup.

            Positives: Headley and Hairston both going 3-5, everyone in the lineup joining in the hit parade, the bullpen.

            Negatives: CY giving up seven runs and not getting a quality start, Leaving the bases-loaded in the top of the ninth, Headley doing his best Ryan Klesko-impersonation in LF.

            Both bullpens got taxed, although they got to ours early. Only Moreno and Mujica didn't factor in the game so we may see them tomorrow.

              I think everyone wishes that. Headley's bat has been good and you can see him getting better and better every week, but he looks like a 3rd basemna playing left field on defense.

                Agreed. It's one of the things that irked me back in the 2007 offseason when they traded for Kouzmanoff. I had begun keeping tabs on Headley after we drafted him in 2005 and thought that he'll eventually become our third basemen replacing Burroughs and whoever stop-gap we had.

                I think eventually Kouzmanoff will be moved. Kouzmanoff apparently suffers from the same problem Khalil Greene had offensively. He doesn't walk a lot, strikeouts a ton, puts up a mediocre batting average and decent-at-best power from third. I think Headley is capable of doing just that, plus he's a switch-hitter. I really don't care if Headley is going to strikeout more the Kouzmanoff, but unlike Kouz, Headley has shown that he will draw a good amount of walks and hit.

                On a second unrelated point, I just thought what are the Padres exactly going to do with Kyle Blanks. He's decent defensively at first, but I can't just help but think how much we would lose defensively at first if he took over for Adrian in the future. And as we all know, a player obviously can't be put in the outfield just like that, or you'll have plays like what Headley had earlier or David Murphy in the first game of the series at Citi Field. I hope he can transition his offense in the big leagues when he gets called up, because there are very few players in our farm system who have the offensive potential this guy has.

                Oh well, the future will worry about itself, for now, it'll be Shawn Hill vs. Brett Myers.

                    Useless note on the side, the Red Sox claimed Travis Denker I think.

                    Oh well, at least that gives Eric Sogard more playing time in San Antonio.

                      Yeah, I heard about this. Kinda funny. Seems like the Padres and Red Sox like each others players lately. The past couple years, they have shared a good handful (Bard, McAnulty, Mirabelli, Bay, Denker, Meredith, etc).

                          It'll take a couple of losses, then everyone's view on this team will return to normal.

                          Anyways, it's nice to finally see Kouzmanoff and Giles actually do something other than kill rallies. Hill did a tremendous job keeping the Padres in the game, although the starters really need to start getting past the fifth. The Padres are rather fortunate to be carrying 13 relievers right now.

                          Tomorrow it'll be Josh Geer or Eulogio de la Cruz vs. former Padre Chan Ho Park.

                          Positives: Adrian's home runs, Kouz's three-run shot, Giles with two-RBI's, one in the ninth to tie the game, Headley and Adrian drawing 6 walks combined, just about everyone on the team.

                          Negatives: Hundley with the hat-trick, Duaner Sanchez making a case to be dropped from set-up.

                              Duanar's defense, that ballpark is a joke when it comes to home runs. And the Padres have no one better.

                              The question is how long till the rest of the league catches up to this bullpen and the back end of the rotation , and will this lineup continue to put up runs at their current pace?

                              I said it at the beginning fo the year, I like Shawn Hill, I think he's the #3 starter by the end of the year.. Maybe higher after Peavy gets traded.

                                True, I think Duaner will get it together. It sure will be awesome when we have him and Mike Adams setting up Heath.

                                I see Silva and Correia eventually dropping out of the rotation, if not off the 25-man roster, in the first week of May at the earliest. With this offense, I still don't know what to expect. I expect better production out of Kouz and Giles, I think the Padres will get some decent production from the offense.

                                It'll be interesting to see how the unknowns in the bullpen play out. I think Gregerson will stick. I'm not sure on Frankie, Moreno, and Perdomo. I think Mujica will be the first one cast off the bullpen and the first one to struggle.

                                Edit: Have they always had the travelers hotline on Baseball Tonight? This is the first time I've watched BBTN in a long time and I don't recall that. They just had Kouzmanoff on speaking about the ninth-inning and what not.

                                2nd Edit:What the heck? They're talking about the Padres in-depth on BBTN. What did you do Heath?
