Seven games left and we are in San Diego to face Ed Wojna (9-12, 4.69) and the Padres.

The Giants are pitching Eric Show (14-12, 3.85).

I have gone 3 for 16 against Wojna.

I opened the game by grounding out to Ozzie Guillen at short.

I got the final out of the inning off a Guillen grounder with the bases loaded.

I came up in the 3rd with Eric standing on 1st. I dropped one into short left for a single. Eric went to 2nd. I was erased as Mike Aldrete hit into a double play.

I nth bottom of the 3rd Randy Ready doubled, scoring John Kruk and Kevin McReynolds.

Padres lead 2-0

I came up with two out in the 5th and outran a squib for a single. Stolen base #120. I got no further.

I handled a McReynolds grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 5th.

Frank Williams replaced Eric in the 7th, after our starter was lifted for a pinch hitter.

I led off the 8th and grounded out to Kruk at 1st.

In the bottom frame, McReynolds scored on a sac fly by Junior Felix. I then took a grounder for Tom Dodd for the final out.

Padres lead 3-0

We were unable to score in the 9th and were shut out.

I went 2 for 4 with a couple of singles and a stolen base.

The Blue Jays clinched the AL East.

That would sure be something if the Giants faced the Blue Jays on the World Series.
