Game 162 - Sunday, 28 September, Pittsburgh at San Diego: Pirates win 6-1. Baek started, hurt. LeBlanc lost (1-3).
After 162 games, the Padres were 63-99, 35-46 at home, 28-53 on the road. The Pads scored 637 runs, gave up 764 runs. The Pads hit 154 homers, gave up 165 homers. The Padres team BA was 0.258, the opponents was 0.258. The Padres team ERA was 4.41, the opponents ERA was 3.57.
Which Padres player had a "career year?" None.
Brian Giles (0.306, 12, 63 in 559 AB), Adrian Gonzalez (0.279, 36, 119 in 616 AB), Kevin Kouzmanoff (0.260, 23, 84 in 624 AB), Jody Gerut (0.296, 14, 43 in 328 AB) Scott Hairston (0.248, 17, 31 in 326 AB), Luis Rodriguez (0.2887, 0 12 in 202 AB) and Edgar Gonzalez (0.274, 7, 33 in 325 AB) had average years.
Kahlil Greene (0.213, 10, 35 in 389 AB), Josh Bard (0.202, 1, 16 in 178 AB), and the rest of the catchers had poor years.
The prospects: Chase Headley (BA 0.269, 9 HR, 38 RBI in 331 AB), Nick Hundley (0.237, 5, 24 in 198 AB), and Will Venable (0.264, 2, 10 in 110 AB) have potential.
Jake Peavy pitched well (10-11, 2.85) but had several bad outings. Chris Young (7-6, 3.95), Cha Seung Baek (6-9, 4.62) and Greg Maddux were OK, but inconsistent. Josh Geer (2-1, 2.67) was the only rookie who pitched well in their cameos. Mike Adams (2-3, 2.48) was the only reliever who was effective consistently. Bell (6-6, 3.58, 9 BS) and Hoffman (3-6, 3.77, 30 saves, 4 BS) were inconsistent.
The Padres need more power, a catcher with defensive skills and some power, and a shortstop and second baseman with get-on-base skills and a high batting average. There were way too many strikeouts and not enough runs scored.
The Padres need three more starting pitchers and four decent relievers - I would keep only Peavy, Young, Geer, Adams, Bell and Hoffman.

Games 91 to 100 Summaries:
Game 91, Tuesday, July 8, Florida at San Diego: Pads win 10-1. The Pads started off with 4 runs in the first inning and added 5 more in the 6th off Andrew Miller. Randy wolf pitched well (7 IP, 1 R, 5 H, 1 BB, 7 SO, won, now 6-8). The Pads got homers from Hairston and Myrow, 3 RBIs from Hairston and 4 RBIs from Headley. After 91 games, the Pads are 36-55 overall, 22-27 at home, 14-28 on the road, Runs 340-420, Homers 83-86. They've won 1 in a row, lost 6 of the last 10, and are 3-4 in July.
Game 92, Wednesday, July 9, Florida at San Diego: Fish win 5-2. Cha Seung Baek pitched well enough to lose (5 IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 3 SO, now 2-4) as Scott Olsen gave up only 1 ER, 4 H over 8 innings. Hairston hit a homer, as did two Marlins. After 92 games, the Pads are 36-56 overall, 22-28 at home, 14-28 on the road, Runs 342-425, Homers 84-88. They've lost 1 in a row, lost 6 of the last 10, and are 3-5 in July.
Game 93, Frdiay, July 11, Atlanta at San Diego: Pads win 4-0. Jake Peavy pitched well (7 IP, 0 R, 4 H, 1 BB, 7 SO, won, 7-5) and Hairston, Edgar, Adrian and Headley each had two hits to score 4 runs. After 93 games, the Pads are 37-56 overall, 23-28 at home, 14-28 on the road, Runs 346-425, Homers 84-88. They've won 1 in a row, lost 5 of the last 10, and are 4-5 in July.
Game 94, Saturday, July 12, Atlanta at San Diego: Braves win 4-1 (we were there). Greg Maddux pitched fair (7 IP, 3 R, 6 H, 2 BB, 3 SO) but the Pads couldn't scratch more than 4 hits off Charlie Morton over 5.1 IP, and couldn't touch three relievers. Very sad and lackluster offensive production. After 94 games, the Pads are 37-57 overall, 23-29 at home, 14-28 on the road, Runs 347-429, Homers 84-89. They've lost 1 in a row, lost 6 of the last 10, and are 4-6 in July.
Game 95, Sunday, July 13, Atlanta at San Diego. Braves romp 12-3. A terrible game, with Randy Wolf (5 IP, 6 R, 6 H, 3 BB, 1 SO, lost, 6-9) and 5 relievers pitching poorly. The Braves were ahead 3-1 when they scored 5 in the 6th to break it open. The Braves had 16 hits, and the Pads 8 hits included homers by Headley and Kouzmanoff. After 95 games, the Pads are 37-58 overall, 23-30 at home, 14-28 on the road, Runs 350-441, Homers 86-90. They've lost 2 in a row, lost 6 of the last 10, and are 4-7 in July.
It's the All-Star break! No Padre games for four days. Oh, the agony. This team is seemingly hopeless. They can't hit with men on base or for average, they strike out too often and don't walk enough, and the pitchers can't hold leads or stop rallies.
The players who have not played to expectations include all of the catchers, Kahlil Greene, the sub outfielders, Maddux, Wolf and the 5th starter, and all of the relievers except for Bell and Adams.
The speculation is that there will be trades before July 31 - I predict Tony Clark, Greg Maddux, Randy Wolf and perhaps another outfielder will be traded for prospects. We might as well play the prospects and see if they can play at this level. Josh Bard and Chris Young should be back in awhile off the DL.
Game 96, Thursday, July 17, San Diego at St. Louis: Cards win 4-3. Jake Peavy pitched mediocre (7 IP, 4 HRs, 8 H, 0 BB, 7 SO, lost, 7-6). The Pads scored 3 runs on 9 hits, with the big blow an Edgar Gonzalez homer in the 3rd. After 96 games, the Pads are 37-59 overall, 23-30 at home, 14-29 on the road, Runs 353-445, Homers 87-94. They've lost 3 in a row, lost 6 of the last 10, and are 4-8 in July.
Game 97, Friday, July 18, San Diego at St. Louis: Cards win 11-7. Greg Maddux pitched poorly (4 IP, 6 R, 8 H, 1 BB, 4 SO), but could have won if he'd held a 6-3 lead. The bullpen gave up a 7-6 lead in the 7th (Thatcher gave up 1 run) and Bell (gave up 4 runs, lost). Gerut and Greene had homers, and Gerut and Giles had 3 hits. After 97 games, the Pads are 37-60 overall, 23-30 at home, 14-30 on the road, Runs 360-456, Homers 89-96. They've lost 4 in a row, lost 7 of the last 10, and are 4-9 in July.
Game 98, Saturday, July 19, San Diego at St. Louis: Pads lose 6-5. Ahead 5-0, Randy Wolf gives it up in ther 5th and 6th (5.2 IP, 6 R, 4 ER, 8 H, 2 BB, 4 SO, lost, now 6-10) as the Cards come from behind. Edgar Gonzalez had a 3-run homer in the 2nd inning.

Game 99, Sunday, July 20, San Diego at St. Louis: Pads lose, 9-5. Ahead 3-1 (on Hairston and Baek homers) in the 7th, the bullpen fails again (3 runs off Bell, 4 off Corey). The Pads scored 2 in the 9th to tie it, and Brian Corey gave up a walk-off grand slam to Aaron Miles to lose it. The key play was a pickoff throw by Luke Carlin that advanced Pujols to 3rd base with one out, and Corey then had to walk two batters to set up a force play. After 99 games, the Pads are 37-62 overall, 23-30 at home, 14-32 on the road, Runs 370-471, Homers 92-98. They've lost 6 in a row, lost 8 of the last 10, and are 4-11 in July.
Game 100, Monday, July 21, San Diego at Cincinnati: Pads win 6-4. Josh Banks pitched fair (5.2 IP, 4 R, 7 H, 2 BB, 2 SO) but gave up a homer to Ken Griffey that put the Reds ahead 4-2 in the 6th. Hairston hit a solo homer in the 7th, and the Pads scored 3 in the 9th on an RBI by Giles and a double by Kouzmanoff to drive in the winning two runs. Trevor Hoffman came in and loaded the bases, then got three outs to save the win (#18) for Clay Hensley, who pitched well in relief. After 100 games, the Pads are 38-62 overall, 23-30 at home, 15-32 on the road, Runs 376-475, Homers 93-100. They've won 1 in a row, lost 7 of the last 10, and are 5-11 in July.
In these 10 games, the Pads were 3-7, 2-3 at home, 1-4 on the road, Runs 46-57, Homers 12-15. This was the worst 30-game block of the season (7-23).

It sure looks like a 100 loss season, and perhaps last place. We might even get the first draft choice! What a great short-term goal.

Games 91 to 100 Summaries:
Game 91, Tuesday, July 8, Florida at San Diego: Pads win 10-1. The Pads started off with 4 runs in the first inning and added 5 more in the 6th off Andrew Miller. Randy wolf pitched well (7 IP, 1 R, 5 H, 1 BB, 7 SO, won, now 6-8). The Pads got homers from Hairston and Myrow, 3 RBIs from Hairston and 4 RBIs from Headley. After 91 games, the Pads are 36-55 overall, 22-27 at home, 14-28 on the road, Runs 340-420, Homers 83-86. They've won 1 in a row, lost 6 of the last 10, and are 3-4 in July.
Game 92, Wednesday, July 9, Florida at San Diego: Fish win 5-2. Cha Seung Baek pitched well enough to lose (5 IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 3 SO, now 2-4) as Scott Olsen gave up only 1 ER, 4 H over 8 innings. Hairston hit a homer, as did two Marlins. After 92 games, the Pads are 36-56 overall, 22-28 at home, 14-28 on the road, Runs 342-425, Homers 84-88. They've lost 1 in a row, lost 6 of the last 10, and are 3-5 in July.
Game 93, Frdiay, July 11, Atlanta at San Diego: Pads win 4-0. Jake Peavy pitched well (7 IP, 0 R, 4 H, 1 BB, 7 SO, won, 7-5) and Hairston, Edgar, Adrian and Headley each had two hits to score 4 runs. After 93 games, the Pads are 37-56 overall, 23-28 at home, 14-28 on the road, Runs 346-425, Homers 84-88. They've won 1 in a row, lost 5 of the last 10, and are 4-5 in July.
Game 94, Saturday, July 12, Atlanta at San Diego: Braves win 4-1 (we were there). Greg Maddux pitched fair (7 IP, 3 R, 6 H, 2 BB, 3 SO) but the Pads couldn't scratch more than 4 hits off Charlie Morton over 5.1 IP, and couldn't touch three relievers. Very sad and lackluster offensive production. After 94 games, the Pads are 37-57 overall, 23-29 at home, 14-28 on the road, Runs 347-429, Homers 84-89. They've lost 1 in a row, lost 6 of the last 10, and are 4-6 in July.
Game 95, Sunday, July 13, Atlanta at San Diego. Braves romp 12-3. A terrible game, with Randy Wolf (5 IP, 6 R, 6 H, 3 BB, 1 SO, lost, 6-9) and 5 relievers pitching poorly. The Braves were ahead 3-1 when they scored 5 in the 6th to break it open. The Braves had 16 hits, and the Pads 8 hits included homers by Headley and Kouzmanoff. After 95 games, the Pads are 37-58 overall, 23-30 at home, 14-28 on the road, Runs 350-441, Homers 86-90. They've lost 2 in a row, lost 6 of the last 10, and are 4-7 in July.
It's the All-Star break! No Padre games for four days. Oh, the agony. This team is seemingly hopeless. They can't hit with men on base or for average, they strike out too often and don't walk enough, and the pitchers can't hold leads or stop rallies.
The players who have not played to expectations include all of the catchers, Kahlil Greene, the sub outfielders, Maddux, Wolf and the 5th starter, and all of the relievers except for Bell and Adams.
The speculation is that there will be trades before July 31 - I predict Tony Clark, Greg Maddux, Randy Wolf and perhaps another outfielder will be traded for prospects. We might as well play the prospects and see if they can play at this level. Josh Bard and Chris Young should be back in awhile off the DL.
Game 96, Thursday, July 17, San Diego at St. Louis: Cards win 4-3. Jake Peavy pitched mediocre (7 IP, 4 HRs, 8 H, 0 BB, 7 SO, lost, 7-6). The Pads scored 3 runs on 9 hits, with the big blow an Edgar Gonzalez homer in the 3rd. After 96 games, the Pads are 37-59 overall, 23-30 at home, 14-29 on the road, Runs 353-445, Homers 87-94. They've lost 3 in a row, lost 6 of the last 10, and are 4-8 in July.
Game 97, Friday, July 18, San Diego at St. Louis: Cards win 11-7. Greg Maddux pitched poorly (4 IP, 6 R, 8 H, 1 BB, 4 SO), but could have won if he'd held a 6-3 lead. The bullpen gave up a 7-6 lead in the 7th (Thatcher gave up 1 run) and Bell (gave up 4 runs, lost). Gerut and Greene had homers, and Gerut and Giles had 3 hits. After 97 games, the Pads are 37-60 overall, 23-30 at home, 14-30 on the road, Runs 360-456, Homers 89-96. They've lost 4 in a row, lost 7 of the last 10, and are 4-9 in July.
Game 98, Saturday, July 19, San Diego at St. Louis: Pads lose 6-5. Ahead 5-0, Randy Wolf gives it up in ther 5th and 6th (5.2 IP, 6 R, 4 ER, 8 H, 2 BB, 4 SO, lost, now 6-10) as the Cards come from behind. Edgar Gonzalez had a 3-run homer in the 2nd inning. After 98 games, the Pads are 37-61 overall, 23-30 at home, 14-31 on the road, Runs 365-462, Homers 90-96. They've lost 5 in a row, lost 7 of the last 10, and are 4-10 in July.
Game 99, Sunday, July 20, San Diego at St. Louis: Pads lose, 9-5. Ahead 3-1 (on Hairston and Baek homers) in the 7th, the bullpen fails again (3 runs off Bell, 4 off Corey).

Games 81 to 90 Summaries:
Game 81, Friday, June 27, Seattle at San Diego: M's win 5-2, and it wasn't that close. Randy Wolf went 3.1 iIP, with 3 R, 8 H, 5 BB, 2 K, deserving to be 5-7 now.

Halfway point - looks impossible to be a 0.500 team - they would have to play 0.600 ball to do it.
Game 82, Saturday, June 28, Seattle at San Diego: M's win 4-2. Baek pitched poorly (5 IP, 4 R, 8 H, 1 BB, 5 SO, lost, now 1-3), and Tony Clark drove in the only two Padre runs in the 7th.

Inter-league play is done! Hooray. Are the Padres Petcoized yet?
Game 84, Monday, June 30, San Diego at Colorado: Pads win 15-8. It's amazing what a little light air will do. Greg Maddux pitched poorly (4.2 IP, 8 R, 8 H, 3 BB, 1 SO) but didn't lose because the Pads got 5 in the 6th to tie it 8-8 and 7 in the 9th to win it.

The catchers are hitting less than 0.200, with only 2 homers and 18 RBI. Greene strikes out a lot and has made several errors - tired and frustrated? The offense doesn't get enough hits or RBIs, and doesn't move runners along well. There is no speed either (only 24 SB all year). The starting pitching has been spotty with only 2 wins in the last 10 games, and Maddux and Wolf pitching poorly. Other than Bell and Adams, the bullpen is not reliable.
The DL has Young, Estes, Bard, Barrett and Iguchi on it. Now Giles is limping and being replaced in the late innings. Catcher Nick Hundley was called up from Portland to replace Barrett.

Very little went right in this 10-game block. Chase Headley came up from Portland and played every game, with Justin Huber sent down.
The DL still has Young, Estes, Bard and Iguchi on it.
Just at the time that it seemed like the Pads might make a move, they ran into superior hitting and pitching in the AL clubs. They made them all, with essentially .500 records plus or minus a few, look like World Series champions.

Game 74, Thursday, 19 June, San Diego at NY Yankees: Yanks win 2-1. Josh Banks deserved better (5.2 IP, 2 R, 4 H, 1 BB, 3 SO, lost, now 2-1) but the Yanks stole bases with abandon to set up a SacFly and an RBI single. The Pads had only 5 hits off Chamberlain and 3 relievers, getting their only run in the 4th on a Tony Clark RBI double.

Edgar Gonzalez and Michael Barret each had 2 RBI. After 76 games, the Pads are 32-44 overall, 21-19 at home, 11-25 on the road, Runs 286-351, Homers 68-68.
