Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
That's three in a row from the division leaders, we are really picking up ground in this long series.
This win locks up a series win against the Dodgers, that's something to really be proud of right now.
Scott Hairston has been solid in the leadoff spot, his average has spiked to well above .300 since he was given the role.
Adrian Gonzalez is still swinging the stick, add another RBI to his total in this little streak.
Heath Bell was able to get a save in this game because Cla Meredith was unavailable since he's pitched three straight days.
Shawn Hill has been a huge asset for us, he lowered his ERA to under three in getting his first win of the season.

Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
Talk about sending a message to the NL West, we aren't just going to accept last place.
So far we are 2 for 2 in this series against the best team in our division, that bodes very well for us.
Kevin Correia has been so strong this year, and he dominated today only giving up 3 hits in 8 innings.
Our offense was simply amazing today, homers from Gonzalez, Giles and Hundley. Those three are all on fire right now.
Adrian Gonzalez has been raking over the past week, it's no coincidence that we have a winning record over our last 10.
This win is bunching the NL West together, we are creeping up on the other teams during this stretch.

Ron Burgundy's Thoughts
Well my first month as the general manager of the San Diego Padres is in the book. We got off to a nightmare start, but things are really starting to turn around for us now. Our offense has been sputtering all month, but all signs point to the situation being straightened out. Adrian Gonzalez is supposed to be our superstar but he didn't perform like it most of the month. A positive is that he is still getting on base via the walk and leads our team in on base percentage. Our superstar has been Nick Hundley, somebody who plays catcher, a position we thought would be the first to need to be upgraded to succeed. The biggest downside to the month has been Jake Peavy. We thought he would be our All-Star of old, but instead he's only won one game and given up a huge chunk of runs. If he doesn't improve in the future I really don't know where that will leave him as a Padre. We are paying him a ton of money to not produce right now, but I know he'll be able to turn it around.
Well I'm ready for May, how about all of you? It's time to jump some spots in the standings and make a little noise. Things aren't going to get easy though, the NL West is a proverbial bear pit. But gentlemen, the Padres will be going into the bear pit full steam, and we are going to come out winners! I hope....Anyways, as always, it's been a pleasure to run your hometown team up to this point, and you stay classy San Diego.

Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
We were worried about playing the first place team, but we took it to them early and were able to hold on.
Chris Young is really getting on a roll. He's starting to pitch like the top of rotation pitcher that he really is.
Kevin Kouzmanoff is hitting really well this month, he and Nick Hundley are carrying our offense.
Cla Meredith bounced back from his loss nicely by converting the save easily in this game.
This wraps up an up and down month for the Padres, I'm proud of how we are doing right now though.

Ron Burgundy's Thoughts
Last time we played the Dodgers they really took it to us. This time we head into Chavez Ravine to take on the division leaders at their home park. That means Ron Burgundy is going Hollywood. I'm going to have a good time tonight, hopefully our team plays some decent baseball so I'm not distracted by anything. Adrian Gonzalez is finally starting to hit for us so that could mean trouble for the rest of the National League. If he gets hitting like he's capable of he can win us some games we otherwise would have lost. We've also got the back end of our rotation going in this series, which is actually a plus because they have been outperforming our marquee starters to date. I have to say, there's no place like sunny San Diego, but if I had to stay any other place on Earth, it might be Los Angeles. So this week we are coming in and taking over this town.

Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
Jake Peavy looked very good for six and a third inning, then the wheels fell off.
It was very disappointing that he had such a solid start going on and then he got rocked and couldn't get out of his jam.
If a positive is able to come out of this game it's that Adrian Gonzalez continues to play well, hopefully he'll become the superstar we know he can.
This was a disappointing series as a whole, we thought we could come in and win at least two of three, but we only got one.
Through three starts Edgar V. Gonzalez is looking good at second base, that doesn't bode well for David Eckstein as a Padre.

Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
Another solid game for our team, we have been looking very respectable in the past week.
Jeff Niemann makes his second good start in a row, he's looking like a solid pickup.
Adrian Gonzalez is on the board! Took him almost a month for his first homer, but now hopefully he'll start racking them up.
Nick Hundley hit the ball hard again tonight, he may see a bump up in the lineup to get our offense rolling even more.
We look for another series win tomorrow as we have Jake Peavy on the mound, look for him to have another good start.

Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
This was a tale of two games, we started off great, then gave up a five run lead.
I have to question our manager in leaving Cla Meredith out there for the 10th after giving up the lead in the 9th.
Another great start from Shawn Hill, every time he comes on the mound we can count on him going deep.
Kevin Kouzmanoff is starting to heat up, we definitely could use some production from other people.
In Edgar V. Gonzalez's first game in the lineup he makes us look good with a 2 RBI performance.
------------------------------------------------------------
INJURY
Injury news came in early this morning. It appears Luke Gregerson was flipping through channels last night at the hotel room and somehow ended up with a fractured finger. I don't even want to know what was going on there. We placed him on the 15-day DL, he should be good to come back right after those 15 games. So far this season Gregerson has a 1-0 record with a 3.00 ERA and 5 strikeouts in 6 appearances.
To make up for the loss of Gregerson righty Edwin Moreno was called up from AAA. In 11 appearances in AAA Moreno is 0-0 with 1 save, a 2.51 ERA and 18 strikeouts. This strikeout artist is looking to carry over his impressive season to the majors and give the Padres a solid arm to carry them to victories while Gregerson is out hurt.

Ron Burgundy's Thoughts
We are coming off our first successful series of the year, we took two of three from the Pittsburgh Pirates. Now we are heading into the mountain air of Denver, and we come in with some steam. We are looking to play a little leapfrog and jump the Giants and pull even with the Rockies in this series. After our atrocious start we've looked decent in the last few games and that gives us hope that we will at least be respectable this season. We've also got Jake Peavy pitching in this series, and he had his first real lights out Jake Peavy start last time out, here's to hoping he has another one. Nick Hundley has also been tearing the cover off the ball, if he keeps this up he will prove to be an upper level catcher for us. Now it's time to sit back and enjoy some baseball, and as always, you stay classy San Diego.

Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
All good things come to an end. We won the series even though we lost this game, I'm proud of our guys.
Kevin Correia looked strong once again for most of the game, but he tired out and the LaRoche's smashed him.
The Hairston/Gerut duo in the leadoff spot is doing very good, vastly outplaying what Eckstein was doing in that role.
Speaking of Eckstein, he's going to be sat for a few games while we give Edgar Gonzalez a shot to start.
Our team is staring to show more positives, I think things are turning around.

Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
Heat wave. A tropical heat wave. Three wins in a row, we are on fire baby!
What a great game from Chris Young. That was a gem from start to finish. He needed that.
This was a classic Petco Park pitchers duel. Good thing we had the better man out on the mound tonight.
Chase Headley was our offense tonight, he drove one in then scored on a wild pitch to give us a one-run win.
Tomorrow we go for the sweep, if we win we doubled our wins for the season in this three game span.

Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
And that's a winning streak! Two in a row baby!
A very good start tonight by Jake Peavy, I'm so happy to see him back on track after such a tough start to the year.
Nick Hundley is stepping up huge so far. He's already hit four homeruns, we didn't expect much more than that all year from him.
Now that Peavy is back on track hopefully Chris Young does the same tomorrow.
Everth Cabrera swiped his third bag of the year, he gives our offense a legit speed threat.
Cla Meredith is looking very solid as our closer so far this year, I hope he starts to get more chances to close out Padres wins.

Ron Burgundy's Thoughts
We got back in San Diego last night, and I had a delicious steak a Tino's today to get ready for what I think is going to be a great series against the Pirates. I kid about how bad the Pirates are, but this year they are 8-8, so they may not be as bad as everybody thinks. Our team has started to click in the last couple of days, so hopefully we can notch off a couple of wins in this series. Also, Jake Peavy and Chris Young have been struggling. This Pirates offense could be just what they need to break out of their funks. It's another sunny day in San Diego, I might have to go grab me some afternoon delight before tonight's game.

Ron Burgundy's Game Notes
We'll take the split! Our offense wasn't overly impressive today, but we kept at it and put runs on the board.
This is the kind of performance we expect out of Niemann more times than not as he starts to develop.
Good to see Adrian Gonzalez get on the board with a big RBI, hopefully his bat starts to come alive.
Heath Bell was able to come in and pitch a scoreless ninth, that's good to see. He needed a good outing.
We go home to host the Pirates now, hopefully we can finally win a series.
