Obligatory Friars Post

After dropping two of three to the M's at Safeco this weekend, my Padres have dropped a half game behind the Snakes as they head to Phoenix for a battle for first place this week (please note that the Dodgers are not involved in said battle for divisional lead).

The weekend series in Seattle was disheartening because it marked the end of San Diego's eight game win-streak. The Padres only managed a win with Peavy on the mound. He blew away 10 M's on Friday night. The kid now has 71 K's on the season and just looks dominant. But the Pads were unable to get it done at the plate despite decent starts by BLaw and Stauffer (whom I would have written about last week, but for fear of him being snapped up by you-know-who in our fantasy league. Nevermind, someone else nabbed him. But just goes to show you that you really can't expect complete transparency in my baseball analyses. Sorry, I have my priorities.)

In watching the series, I also have to give the Mariners credit. Aaron Sele pitched a helluva game yesterday and Richie Sexson, Adrian Beltre (yes, him), and particularly Ichiro flashed some damn impressive leather. On various plays, they probably saved 7 runs over the weekend. Give 'em credit.

On to PHX.
