Jake Peavy (2-0, 2.32) vs Aaron Harang (1-2, 3.96)
4:10 PM start
Khalil is expected to return today and we may get to see Tim Stauffer sometime this week. Probably in relief to begin with, but then quickly into that fifth spot since we need a new lamb to sacrifice to the Curse.
Bochy's master plan should work out just right as the Padres face the Reds with Peavy today. We didn't want to completely destroy the Cardinals as they have to face the Dodgers for four. This way, we take 3 of the 4 games in St. Louis, and we let the Cardinals feel like they're rolling on offense to start the Dodgers series. A Cardinals sweep now puts our boys in a great position.
Also... Happy Birthday, Tony Gwynn!

These comments sections are famous!
Bktabinga got quoted on a redbirds blog over the weekend. here it is.Dex - May 9, 2005
Ted and Flan making fun of the Enquirer
Actually, the Nation Enquirer prides themselves on their investigative reporting. When was the last time a lawsuit was brought against them or any information was disputed? It doesn't happen, because their stories are very well researched with very good secret sources.Dex - May 9, 2005
Reds strike first
Reds get a run early on Peavy.Dex - May 9, 2005
Reds put four runs up early on Jake
Well then. This isn't such a good start, is it....I'm going to go take the bus home and hopefully, when I get there, Jake Peavy will have regained control of his body, because I think aliens might have gotten him.
Dex - May 9, 2005
wow
Peavy getting touched up bad.jbox - May 9, 2005
Well I'm home now...
Top of the 5th. 5-1 Reds. Khalil is up with a runner in scoring position. We're totally still in this game.Dex - May 9, 2005
Hey now
Loretta on second with the error. One run at a time boys.Dex - May 9, 2005
oh dude
Grant just broke out the shalaylee. This game's ours.Dex - May 9, 2005
Hmmm...
Can somebody kiss Anna Kournikova again? I don't like runners getting left on when the other pitcher is starting to lose it.Dex - May 9, 2005
These games...
Why aren't the Padres winning these kinds of games? I don't understand.Dex - May 9, 2005
Mother's Day
Yesterday, for Mother's Day, I cooked up food on the grill for the little party we had at my in-laws place. The menu: BBQ chicken, BBQ lamb, BBQ spam.It was a Chickespamalamba. I was feeling it a little bit today.
Maybe the Padres had chickespamalambas yesterday also. That's my only explanation for this game.
Dex - May 9, 2005
OK...
The Padres have 6 outs left to get at least 4 runs. By my calculation, they need to score soon.Mark Sweeney... Be my hero.
Dex - May 9, 2005
Sweeney... a base on balls
If there's one thing Sweeney demonstrated there... It's that having balls will get you on base.You gotta have balls.
Dex - May 9, 2005
Roberts grounded into a double play...
Maybe he is overrated. Harang looks like a monster. Look at his cocky swagger. I wish we had that tonight.Dex - May 9, 2005
Mother's Day part 2
Yesterday, along with the Chickespamalamba, my wife baked a mushroom and artichoke quiche thing. She also did a ton of other stuff along with her cousin Sara, but I'm having a piece of the leftover bake right now.I just want to use this forum to say... It's absolutely delightful.
Dex - May 9, 2005
Zzzzzzzzz.....
...Huh? wuzzat? Dang... Klesko homerun...Wake up, everybody! Padres are still in it!
Dex - May 9, 2005
Klesko is hotter than
paris hilton.bktabinga - May 9, 2005
What's that sound?
It's the sound of clutch.Dex - May 9, 2005
3 More runs in the 9th
It can be done. THis is nothing compared to some of the other ridiculous Baltimore Orioles style comebacks this year.bktabinga - May 9, 2005
The tying run...
Is coming to the plate.Padres are hotter than BBQ chickespamalamba.
Dex - May 9, 2005
bases...
....loaded......
Dex - May 9, 2005
I wanna see Graves
and hear the Reds fans boo him. I loved it when they showed fans wearing bags over their heads with tears and sad faces. Hilarious.bktabinga - May 9, 2005
Fick for Greene
Let's do this Fick. Let's fickin' do this.Dex - May 9, 2005
HE FICKING DID IT!!!
BK!!! HE FICKING DID IT!!!Dex - May 9, 2005
HEAR THEM BOO!!!
Wheres the paper bags!bktabinga - May 9, 2005
Its DEJA VU FOR THE REDS
bktabinga - May 9, 2005
Danny Graves
"Awww, fick"Dex - May 9, 2005
I can't wait to see Reds fans tomorrow
They should all wear paper bags for the entire REDS Bullpen.They are worse than the CARDS bullpen!
bktabinga - May 9, 2005
I like Fick's hair
He has a Ceasar cut going. Big League Hair.Dex - May 9, 2005
Loretta grounded into a double play...
I smell extra innings. The Padres love extra innings.Dex - May 9, 2005
Damn...when making contact is NOT a good thing.
bktabinga - May 9, 2005
Aki vs Randa
C'mon Padres.... Let's be a team.Dex - May 9, 2005
EXTRA INNINGS!!!
Man... Talk about a rally!Heart of the order coming up. I can smell the clutchness cooking.
Dex - May 9, 2005
Nevin
I'd like to see Nevin take this team on his shoulders and win this game right here.Dex - May 9, 2005
Is Giles clutch right now?
I forget.Dex - May 9, 2005
He is now...but moreso, Padres bench is clutch.
bktabinga - May 9, 2005
You know who's clutch?
You are, BK. You're clutch.Dex - May 9, 2005
One common thing...
My first game this season I don't catch any part of at all, and Padres get ridiculous crushed.This game, I don't tune in until top of the 9th, and wallah.
I'm clutch.
bktabinga - May 9, 2005
Well... Bottom of the tenth....
Padres not able to do it. Padres love these long games.Dex - May 9, 2005
Linebrink
Striking out the side is rad.Dex - May 9, 2005
I'm going to go
I'm gonna watch Jess play soccer tonight. You hold down the fort for me.Go Padres!
Dex - May 9, 2005
Dave Roberts is overrated
and not so much clutch as a leadoff man with an OBP of .307 coming into the game. Only Nevin has a lower OBP.bktabinga - May 9, 2005
Klesko runs right through a stop sign by Pich
and right into a waiting tag at the plate! Go figure. Klesko believes in Seinfield's law of ups and downs. He likes to balance things out in the course of a game.bktabinga - May 9, 2005
With 2 out, I can see that
But with 1 out and a weak hit to left, I dont know why you would challenge that throw and not let someone else hit you in from third.Unless Klesko had plans that night and wanted to end the game already.
bktabinga - May 9, 2005
Once again, a Padres read my blog comment
and responded accordingly. Roberts with the go ahead RBI Single and now is "clutch".bktabinga - May 9, 2005
Ump, like Klesko wants this game to end...
Calling him out on strikes on two close pitches. What is UP with Pads and extra innings. I wonder what long term effect will this have on Pads arms, good thing, it seems that we have such a deep and durable pen that it is not doing the damage as I fear.bktabinga - May 9, 2005
GAME OVER
Hoffy with SAVE number 9 and Hammond on pace to becoming the first relief pitcher to hit 20 wins in a season!bktabinga - May 9, 2005
Awesome game
Is it ironic that the "overrated" Dave Roberts knocked in the winning run?I hate Danny Graves. The Cardinals OWN him and now it seems like the rest of the league is catching up too. He's a big, diaper wearing, thumb sucking baby.
Larry Bowa is all over this guy on the radio in the morning. No respect for a guy who just shrugs it off and gets upset with the fans for not being supportive.

Bullpens
Interesting thing about the Padres lately is they've been taking advantage of other teams' bullpens. Like they're saying to the fans in San Diego, "Told you guys we're better than the rest of the league."Dex - May 10, 2005
