At least it won't be a no-hitter.

It might be time to get Esteban out of there. Maybe.
Cool, let's see how many consecutive innings the Padres can score 2 runs...
Loaiza has thrown 65 pitches in 3 innings.
Seriously...pretty pathetic.
Not to take anything away from Peavy, the guy's a solid pitcher, but come on, he's your proto-typical power pitcher. Sit fastball early in the count and try to jump on one in your zone. If he gets ahead of you 0-2, 1-2, choke up, put the ball in play and lay off the pitch neck level and above. And for heavens sake, stop trying to pull the god damn ball (this means you Furcal, Pierre, Loney and everyone else hitting weak grounders). He's got good stuff, but he's no Santana or Beckett.
Loney displaying more power. Not bad.
Peavy is good. Grady is an idiot. The Dodgers can't hit. Loaiza is getting pinched. What does it add up to? Me not having to drive to Dodger stadium tomorrow. Those tickets can go to waste for all I care.
Back to the second inning. I know the numbers aren't that bad because I looked it up the last time he did this, but when is the last time Ethier actually had a scoring sac fly? I can remember him having the opportunity like 5 or 6 times in the last few weeks and he hasn't plated a one of em (unless he did it in a game i missed). I can't stand leaving a runner on third with less than two outs and he does it quite frequently.
