Peavy opens series against Giants

The Padres hit the road for a 10-game swing, finding themselves in a pretty good position before making stops in San Francisco, Cincinnati and Los Angeles.


With a 5-1 homestand, the Padres are breathing down the necks of the Dodgers, just one game back in the National League West heading into Friday's series opener against the Giants. San Diego also has a little more room in the NL Wild Card race, pulling out to a three-game lead on second-place Florida and Philadelphia.


The Friars finally straightened out their troubles at PETCO Park, but now head out on the road, where they have been much more successful this season. They are now 38-37 at PETCO, but 35-29 on the road this season.


After an off-day Thursday, Jake Peavy will face Matt Cain on Friday. Peavy has been battling a badly bruised fourth toe on his left foot, suffered after bumping it on some furniture in his home. He needed novocaine to get through his last start on Saturday, a brilliant two-hitter against the Reds.


The right-hander almost always pitches well in the midst of strange injuries or illness, and Friday will be another test of that.

Cain has owned Peavy this year and I hope he keeps it up

[padrefanforever]

Go Padres..........Go Chargers.........we could make the Bay Area bleed this weekend....nice nice.....

[HollywoodLeo]

Cain has owned the Padres, while Peavy has struggled against San Fran this year and I hope they keep it up

Fixed it for you.

Cain isn't exactly going directly against Peavy.

I cant wait too see the Wells vs Bonds matchup, i cant wait till he takes his fat ****ing ass yard!

[HollywoodLeo]

That's ok, that's the same game the Padres are facing Jason Schmidt, which means Bonds can hit three home runs off Wells and the Padres will still win.

[GiantsFanatic]

Hahaha good point there.

Fixed it for you.

Cain isn't exactly going directly against Peavy.

Why do you always need to try and fix things when things don't need fixing. Cain has outpitched him this year resulting in wins which means he has owned him but whatever.

[HollywoodLeo]

Padres will beat the Giants.

fixed it for you.

Super sweep!

[padrefanforever]

Not looking good so far.....but a long way to go still

[Rufio181]

1 hit in only 6 innings. We're making Cain look like a pro tonight.

[HollywoodLeo]

Cain IS a pro...

[Rufio181]

Cain IS a pro...

The point i was trying to make is that we're making him look good today.

Freggin hit the ball!
