Today John Burkett and the Giants are taking on Ed Wojna and the Padres.

I opened the game by pushing one through the right side for a single. Then I stole 2nd. I moved to 3rd on a single by Mike Aldrete. Chili Davis walked to load them up with none out. Two infield flies and a strikeout later... we got nothing.

The Padres also loaded the base sin the 1st but then Randy Ready scored on a Carmelo Martinez fielder's choice. I took an Ozzie Guillen roundball to stop things there.

Padres lead 1-0

I came up in the 2nd with two out and John Rabb on 1st. I grounded out to Ready at 3rd.

In the 3rd Ready hit a solo bomb.

Padres lead 2-0

I got the 1st out in the bottom of the 4th off a grounder by Martinez. We then made a nice Thompson - Priske - Aldrete double play to get Guillen and Junior Felix.

I came up with one out in the 5th, now facing Kimiyasu Kudo. I hit on to Ready again, but he wasn't himself and picked up the error. Mike hit into a fielder's choice and I went and sat down.

Butch Henry took over pitching for us in the 5th.

I was lifted for a pinch hitter in the 7th.

We lost 2-0.

I went 1 for 3 with a single and a stolen base. My average is up to .171
