What an epic game at Petco last night, fortunately I wasn't there...
Jake Peavy took the hill at 7:05 and was his usual dominating self, and his opponent for the night, Colorado's Jeff Francis, was equally as effective. The Rock's ace threw seven 3 hit shutout innings, striking out 7 while only giving up 1 free pass. Jake went eight, allowing 4 hits and 3 walks, while fanning 11. These were two equally masterful performances, highly entertaining to watch, and when the game was put in the hands of the bullpen, the score was still 0-0, top of the ninth.
It would stay that way until the 14th, when a bases loaded walk to Brad Hawpe forced Willy Taveras across the plate. The Pads didn't give up however, and responded with a run of their own in the bottom half of the inning, as Josh Bard delivered a bases loaded single plating The Kouz. Unfortunately for the San Diego nine, and the fans who were in attendance, the Pads left the bases loaded, and we moved on to the 15th.
Well, some of us did, I had stretched out on the couch a couple innings earlier, and my lights went dark somewhere in the middle of the 43rd Mossy Nissan commercial of the evening...
Awkening at 4:30 this morning, I got the news from my girl Robin Meade that this baby stay deadlocked at 1-1 through 21 innings, and was finally decided by a Troy Tulowitski double in the top of the 22nd. San Diego only had 2 guys left awake by that time , and Kip Wells , who threw 4 innings of 1 hit shutout ball for the W, shut them down in the bottom frame.
WOW.
I'd post a boxscore, but it would probably take up two pages, and I'm not real good at the whole code formatting thing anyway. I'm sure you guys know where to find it if you're interested...
147 AB, 25 hits,13 BB, 37 K, 6 hours and 16 minutes.
Mr Veres, didja make it through to the bitter end?? If so, tell us about it when you wake up around noon. 
The Madres played 22 innings and lost -- wimps.
I was at Shea for the 14 innings last night, and when I saw Col/SD had gone 22, I was hoping that it was all for naught for San Diego. It's the one thing brightening this work-filled day on 3 hours sleep.
Mets would've won.
I was pretty depressed after watching that game.
Watching Glendon Rusch swing for the fences, made me rethink my views on the DH. Everybody thought it was a neat game. I thought it was horrible.
The Padres lost because of two errors at 1:30 in the morning... um, maybe they shouldn't have been playing baseball at 1:30 in the morning.
No way in heck the Padres and Rockies will match up again this year, and finsh this game, right?
horrible.
Check out the Fangraphs plot of the game.
pretty cool.
Apparently San Diego is still reeling from that 22 inning bore fest. grrr,
