Padres Off To Solid Start, As Are Union-Tribune Photographers

Scott,

Nice air on that leaping grab in the top of the 8th to preserve a 2-run lead over the Giants last night. Great placement of your right hand and right leg on the wall for support, and nice stylish lift of your left leg behind you. No doubt you intended that.

Spicoli in the front row looks impressed.

Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't give you a shout out for your 3-run bomb in the bottom of the 8th off the Gints' Merkin Valdez. That ball flew out of Petco like it had jet thrusters attached to the seams. You had your arms fully extended on a ball out over the plate and really put the Hairston into it. Nicely done.

Nice job as well by those U-T photographers, eh? First, Sean M. Haffey snaked that sweet photo of Nick Hundley and Heath Bell in front of the mound right after Bell closed out the hated Dadgers Thursday afternoon (see photo in yesterday's post). And then, John R. McCutchen caught you leaping against the wall last night and robbing Bengie Molina of at least a double. It's like he knew you were going to make the catch.

Well done, guys.

Best,
Bevormo
