Life sometimes just doesn't get better, right?

Cool. This just posted on ESPN a half hour ago.

So Peavy's out for at least a month. Great. Also, he hurt his ankle the day after he rejected the White Sox trade. And he was running the bases. Which is ironic because if he'd taken the trade...the DH would have been running the bases for him. Life's too weird, now he has no trade value and no club value. Awesome. We're down to Chris Young being our number one starter...we should trade the shit out of Chris Young. His numbers are no better then Kevin Correia.

Padres....nine in a row baby

So my Padres just won nine in a row. With a suicide squeeze thrown in! Lovely. And Peavy exercised his no-trade rights. I think it was a good thing all around. The Padres don't really have to trade Peavy. There's no real need except payroll which doesn't make a whole lot of sense, really. New ownership is in town. I think Moores might need the money but in the end he'll still be a millionare anyway...what's another five!(right? anyone?)

Plus, for Jake, the ChiSox are quite possibly the most terribly run team in the majors. Ozzie Guillen for fucks sake. Scott Podsednick. For fucks sake. In the AL no less. In a home run park. Good choice. Jake ball needs to go to a hitter ugly park and dominate.

About the streak....pitching pitching pitching!! In nine games (one of which went 16 innings) the Padres allowed a total of 18 runs. 1 shutout, four one run games, two two run games. And only one game over the magical four run barrier that DePo keeps talking about. And that one game was the 16 inning game. That's what the streak was about. Pitching.

Peavy go bye bye?

I mean....meh. There goes an offer for Peavy.

I can't see all the prospects offered but from the two pitchers mentioned, man....I mean, I wish we could get at least like a Matt LaPorta or something.

(Not Matt LaPorta specifically, but someone of his caliber who I could hope and dream on)

I mean, lets trade with the Giants! Everyone should recall the Nathan-Liriano-Bonser deal they did.

I guess what I'm saying is look what Cleveland got for Sabbathia. Look what Baltimore got for Bedard. The Padres really should get something of value for Peavy and "Richards is a sinker-slider kind of guy, with good stuff. I'd project him as a middle-of-the-rotation or bottom-of-the-rotation kind of guy." Not really that good enough.
