AIM Chat Snaps Streak

Title Track

See here. Couple of quick thoughts:

1) Brian Giles called out on the appeal to first is one of the top five worst calls of the year in any sport, period.

2) Peavy is amazing. 8.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 10 K, 0 HR

3) The AIM chat is seriously good karma.

4) The recent eight game losing streak shouldn't negatively impact the team this year and may positively impact them in future years. The NL West cannot be lost at this point. It just isn't going to happen. That being said, Los Angeles and Arizona look like they are in it and thus cannot sell off players for prospects that might have helped them down the line. How's that for a silver lining?

5) I hate that Cardinal fan who was sitting next to the mic. What a jerk.

6) The only people who think there is a shot in hell that the Padres won't win the NL West are Padre fans.

Lineups

With absolutely zero justification to follow, here's how I'd fill out the lineup:

Vs. RHP:

C	Fick
1B	Sweeney
2B	Loretta
3B	Randa
SS	Greene
LF	Klesko
CF	Nady
RF	Giles

And

Vs. LHP:

C	Fick
1B	Nady
2B	Loretta
3B	Randa
SS	Greene
LF	Young
CF	Jackson
RF	Giles

Basically, I'd have five "every day" starters in Fick, Loretta, Randa, Greene and Giles. Sweeney and Nady would platoon first. Klesko and Young would platoon left. And Nady and Jackson would platoon center. So, I suppose I'd actually have six "every day" starters, Nady would just alternate between center and first.
