    BJ Monday Bases Play

    San Diego Padres -102 (2x)
    ACTION
    It is time to start commiting some treason on the base paths. As a die hard Met fan who rode them through some hot streaks and took some tough losses it is time to turn against them just like I did Saturday night in a game they kept giving away in a loss to Arizona. If I know anything, I know my Mets and you can stick a fork in them. After a gritty season where glimmers of hope showed through injury after injury it is now officially over. Carlos Beltran now resides on the West Coast, Jose Reyes is nursing what is apparently the most sensitive hamstring in the world, K-Rod is out of the spotlight brewing a division title, and Johan Santana is still nowhere in sight. But worst of all the red hot Daniel Murphy who carried this team through the early summer is out for the year as well. None of this news but now this team has officially lost their fight. They have dropped five straight and are playing all the way in San Diego which has been a house of horrors for the Mets who are 8-20 in San Diego over their last 28 games.

    As for the Padres they still are struggling but have found a way to win 7 of their last 11 but the way they have won those games has been impressive. Mostly, with the bats rather then the 2-1 games we are accustomed to seeing the Padres in year after year. Over those last 11 games the are averaging over 6 runs per contest. One of those games was against the starter they will see Monday night, R.A. Dickey. Aaron Harang, Monday starter, faced Dickey last time out a game in which the Padres won 9-5 in New York. In that game the Padres scored the first three innings and led 5-0 after three. When the starters left the Padres led 5-3 and after the Mets went into the 9th trailing 6-4 the Padres rocked Bobby Parnell for 3 insurance runs giving them a comfy 9-5 win.

    The Padres are 14-6 in Harangs starts this year while the over is 13-6-1 which shows that Harang may get touched up every now and again but when a pitch needs to be made to keep the game in check he has been making them this year. Just look at his 11-3 record. I think Dickey gets touched up for a few early and I think this game stays fairly close until the Mets bullpen comes in to hand it over.

    Good luck everyone.

    Of course he will but the fact remains that I have invited him to breakfast, lunch, dinner and challenged him to a gamblers olympics as well as numerous fights and he has never showed. Until he pokes his head in public I am not buying he lives in my area.

    Actually, I almost bet the over. Padres games are flying over, both pens are struggling and both pitchers are prone to give up there 3-4 runs per start.

    That was a good write-up and while you state some good points, the Padres offense has been horrible @ home. They are batting as a team .60 points lower @ home than on the road (Leading Padres Rbi hitters), they are 23-36 @ home, and I just seen some horrible offensive efforts over this year. Being from SD I watched most (unfortunately), with that said I'm convinced the Padres will hit R.A Dickey(5-11, 3.75). 8/11 was the knuckleballer’s first career meeting with the Padres, yielding five runs - three earned - in six innings. Dickey is trying to avoid losing a fourth straight start, which would match a career high set with Texas from May 13-28, 2004. He has a 3.79 ERA in the last three but has received four runs of support.


    Throughout the year Harang has benefitted from Padres offense, averaging 6 runs per start, and having the "over" being a winner last 6 starts.



    I'm stuck on the fence about this play, as I've seen the Padres play some HORRIBLE baseball @ home this season.


    I'm going to wait to see the lineup in a little while. I'll b back.

    First home game after road series. Fade away. Time for Harang to drop one.

    I'd like to be with you here Beejer and I love fading the Mets, but I'm generally not in favor of taking teams coming home off a long road trip and Ape Man has been dogshit lately (startling 44 hits allowed in his last 27.2 IP).

    BOL though bud.

    Thanks everyone, glad some people disagree. Harang has been awful but he is the classic average starter. Lots of hits but keeps it in the park and God knows the Mets can't put one out of any ballpark. This more of a fade on the Mets then anything. I think they are going to tank the rest of the way and when you look back at the season you look at this West Coast trip and say "Yup, that was the begginning of the end."

    Good luck regardless of who you bet. I like Pads to win it 6-3.

    JOSH SPENCE = FAIL EXPERIMENT AT RELIEVER. That's the 2nd time he's given up a lead. I had $500 in return for parlay that he cost me w/ a 3-run homer against the Reds Friday 8/12. Hopefully this is the last time he comes out to relieve, his stuff is just missing everywhere.

    Sorry for the ones that had a play on the ML. Just had the over here, I can't trust the Pads @ home.

    That now makes the Padres 2-7 in extra inning games @ Petco...
