My Padres made a terrific comeback in the top of the 9th inning yesterday in Arizona. The D-backs were leading 3-1 when Adrian Gonzalez singled leading off the inning. Kevin Kouamanoff then doubled to RF and reached 3rd base as A-Gon scored on an error by Arizona. Kouz on 3rd with zero outs trailing by just one run, 3-2. Then the horror...
Rookie Chase Headley struck out and Khalil Greene weakly grounded out to 2nd base ruining our chance to tie the game without needing a hit. PH Brian Giles then grounded out as well to end the game.
Headley and Greene were disgusted with themselves after the game. Headley was adamant that his being a rookie was no excuse for failing to bring the run in. He said he was way too aggressive in that situation.
Yesterday's Results:
D-backs 3, Padres 2
Dodgers 5, Giants 3
Marlins 10, Rockies 5
Standings:
D-backs 44-45 ------
Dodgers 43-45 .5

Padres 35-54 9
Today: Marlins 7:05 PDT Maddux (3-6) - Nolasco (9-4)
I think things are looking up for our Padres. As long as we play like we did in the first 2 Arizona games on a consistent basis, I like our our chances. Maybe we'll get Maddog his 350th tonight!!!

Let's see how the series goes. As a Marlins fan I'm glad that we will not see Jake Peavy this week.

Kaybee, it is a lot of fun watching Maddux pitch, but I feel so sorry the team seldom helps him out.
Marlins62003, your team has rebuilt itself again. Good luck the rest of the way! (except the next 2 games, of course)
