June 14th, 1990

We are finishing up in San Diego but Jim gave me the day off.

That's fair. This season is a rough slog. It can wear on a person.

At least that was the plan.

In the bottom of the 2nd Tim Naehring was involved in a collision at 2nd and had to leave the game. It looks pretty bad.

Jim brought me in to replace him.

Going into the 3rd we led 3-0. We had Roy Smith and they had Bryn Smith.

I came up with two out in the 4th. I reached 2nd on a throwing error by Torey Lovullo.
Then they game Craig Grebeck the intentional pass to face Roy.
I didn't quite work as Roy hit a single up the middle... but I was thrown out trying to score.

I am I slower this year?

I took care of an Ozzie Guillen grounder for the 2nd out in the bottom of the 4th.

The Padres got not he board in the 5th when Tom Quinlan crossed on a Junior Felix double.
Then Felix scored on a John Kruk single.

Giants lead 3-2

I came up with two out in the 6th and grounded out to Guillen at short.

I caught a foul pop from Luis Lopez for the 1st out in the bottom half.

Rick Sutcliffe received for us in the 7th with two out and a man on.
He couldn't strand the inherited runner as Felix doubled home Darrell Sherman to tie the game.
Then Felix scored on a Kruk single, again.

Padres lead 4-3

In the 8th Guillen scored on a Lovullo single.
Lovullo ended up scoring on a Felix sac fly.
Pinch hitter Greg Bailey scored ona. Charlie Hayes single.

Padres lead 7-3

I came up in the 9th with none out, Alan Cockrell on 1st, and Eric King pitching.
I walked.
With two out, Ryan Klesko walked, loading the bases.
Joel Chimelis reached on an infield hit, allowing Alan to score.
We are left that way and lost, 7-4.

Our winning streak lasted one game.

And now it seems that Tim is hurt.

I went 0f or 2 with a walk, and didn't get the rest I needed.

What now?

We are headed home to face the Braves.

This road trip has been awful.
