In Game Doubleheader
We had nothing else to do tonight so we were watching the Padres-Reds? Why, you ask? Because the game was in the 16th inning. The game ended moments ago with 2 outs in the bottom of the 18th when Padres 1st Baseman Adrian Gonzalez hit a walk off 3-run home run. Gonzalez hit a 3-2 pitch off of Edinson Volquez who was in his 2nd inning of relief after throwing 6 innings in his Friday start.
The Reds had the distinction of using 3 starting pitchers in the game. In addition to Volquez, there was the actual starter of course, Matt Belisle, who lasted only an 4.1 innings, and Aaron Harang who preceded Volquez with 4 shutout innings.
In all, Cincy went with 10 pitchers while the Padres used 8. Josh Banks threw 6 shutout innings of relief to get the win. These games of course can be tough on batting averages. Just ask Corey Patterson who was 0-8.
Oh, and Padres front office, those fatigue uniforms have gotta go.

Padres Fatigue Uniforms:
Yes, i agree that the uniforms have to go or be updated. They have to be the ugliest ever except for maybe the Astros from the 70's..
Anyways, I want to point out that the flag on the uniform is flying in the wrong direction which is anti-american the opposite of what their intent is !!!
Lets get it right fellas...
I support the troops...
