Jake Peavy got his first loss of the year yesterday after giving up only 2 runs over 7 innings. I don't know what more you can expect from your starter, but the Padres need more. They didn't even manage to get him a win in his 8 innings of shutout ball in the infamous 22 inning game where the Pads managed only 1 run.
Though Jake Peavy is on pace for a second straight CY Young, he may not get there unless he can get some run support. It looks like things may be getting to him as he has started drinking away the losses that keep mounting.
Ok, this isn't really after the game, but if I was him I would be doing this after just about every start. Only two teams in all of baseball have a worse record, and only the Giants in the NL are even close to the Padres in runs scored (both tied at 84).
Coed Magazine found and posted these pictures, so thanks to them...maybe someone out there knows where they are from.
Maybe the rest of the team needs to relax with some Jager and Jake to have his success rub off on them. Not only does Jake lead all Padre starters in ERA, but he is second in batting average (.308) behind fellow starter Justin Germano (.400-Adrian leads the rest of the team at .280) Maybe we should send a few cases of Jager to the clubhouse.
A drunk Jake Peavy is probably better than most guys sober.
