Brew Crew 7, Drinos 1

Didn't see much of last night's game. Saw A-Gon whiff at at C.C. slider in the dirt. Saw a brief replay of Chase's sliding catch and Jody's reach-out slap bomb over the centerfield wall. Saw footage of Cory Hart's bases-clearing triple that hung up in the left-field corner. But that's about it.

That's all I really needed to see. If you had asked me to predict the outcome of any sporting event around the world last night - the Men's Individual All-Around Finals, the U.S.-Greece Men's Basketball game, one of those swimming relays, any other game on the MLB circuit - I would have been most confident that C.C. Sabathia would beat the Padres at Petco. There was really no question. The psychology of this Padres team right now is that they were beaten before they even took the field.

But today is different.

Today is Peavy, in the afternoon, under the sun.

So bring on this Ben Sheets character. And let's watch A-Gon and the boys unleash the fury.
