After that embarrassment yesterday, and out seven game losing streak, we really need a win today.

The Padres are pitching Tom Belcher (7-6, 2.69).

The Giants have Frank Viola (4-5, 4.48).

I have gone 7 for 21 against Belcher.

We need some of that Sweet Music from last year.

I led things off by taking a four pitch walk.
With one out, I was thrown out trying to steal 2nd.

What is going on?

The Padres scored in the 2nd when Junior Felix crossed on a Harold Reynolds double.

Padres lead 1-0

I came up in the 3rd with one out and Tim Naehring on 1st. I walked again.
We both scored on a Ryan Klesko double.
Ryan scored on a Harold Baines single.

Giants lead 3-1

I handled a Charlie Hayes fielder's choice ball for the 1st out in the bottom of the 4th.

I came up with one out in the 5th and struck out.

I next came up in the 7th, with two out and Tim on 2nd.
I fouled out to Hayes at 3rd.

Bobby Thigpen came in to pitch the 9th for us.

He gave up a hit but that was all and we had FINALLY broken that losing streak.

I went 0 for 2 with a pair of walks and a caught stealing.
