It was a classic Coors Field game tonight with balls leaving the yard that would have been routine outs in any other park in MLB.

Pads will try to take the rubber match tonight against the Rockies and take the series for the first time this season. Here’s Buddy’s lineup card.  First day off this season for Maybin.      

Congratulations to Rockies’ starter Jamie Moyer for becoming at age 49 the oldest player in MLB history to be a game’s winning pitcher, after his team’s 5-3 victory over the Padres tonight.

A little trivia question for tonight’s ball game between the Padres and Rockies.

“I could probably throw harder if I wanted, but why? When they’re in a jam, a lot of pitchers…try to throw harder. Me, I try to locate better.”

“Is Coors Field a good park to hit in? Yeah. So are Wrigley Field and Camden Yards. I didn’t design Coors Field—I just play there.”

EARLY AND OFTEN – that was the motto that the Padres offense adopted tonight in the opening game of their three game set against the Rockies.

“A life is not important except in the impact it has on other lives.”

Just when you think you’ve seen it all, this great game of baseball will throw you a nasty curve to keep you honest.  Today it was a potentially game changing triple play that created heated controversy

For the 5th time in six contests this season the Padres lost to their division rival Dodgers, this time 6-1.
