I never thought it would be this hard to sit through a Padre game. I debated changing channels to watch a little of the NBA playoffs but that lasted only a few minutes. I realized I would rather watch the padres get shut out for the 8th time in 32 games, instead of watching guys flop around the court in the Celtics game. I was disappointed in the lineup tonight when Forsythe wasn's starting once again. I figured with the loss of hudson we might get to see a little of what the future holds. Instead i am forced to watch Eric Patterson and his amazing .150 average and shaky defense tonight. If patterson was tearing the ball off the cover I am all for him starting while Hudson is on the DL, however the stats dont lie. We should have left Forsythe down in triple A to keep getting at-bats for the next two weeks instead of riding the pine. On a bright note Mr. Venable has finally climbed above that magic mendoza line that most the Padres seem to love. Not only does he have four hits in the last two games, he also doubled his extra base hit total. Time to win our 3rd series of the season tomorrow with Harang ready to turn it around on the bump.
