Dan Haren (8-5, 4.06) vs. Jesse Hahn (4-2, 2.34).
In his last outing, Haren was all wet. Following up a 7.0 IP, one-hit wonder against Cleveland, Haren went out there July 5 at Coors Field and shit the bed, yielding 10 H and 8 ER over 5.1 IP. Haren's ERA continues to steadily rise this year, but this outing alone accelerated this rising trend by almost 0.50 runs, his biggest game-to-game increase since early April. This does not give us a lot of reassurance.
Meanwhile, Hahn's ERA is going in the opposite direction: downward. Hahn made his major league debut this year on June 3, and the Pirates shellacked him: 3.2 IP with 6 H and 4 ER, giving him an ERA of 9.82. But four consecutive winning starts later, Hahn's ERA sat at 1.95, with his last outing (7.0 IP, 3 ER in a loss to the Giants) showing a slight blip back upward. Which means Hahn has four wins in his last five starts (and no NDs across six starts). So if Haren is wet, will Hahn be super-dry tonight?
At the very least, we need to make sure this isn't a complete game from the Padres' starter. Not aiming very high, I know. But the thought of a smug Hahn solo would be too much to bear.

surprised to see SVS in instead of Dre vs the righty
Hahn solo? Joba be ashamed of yourself.
"overall soreness" for Andre, is that better or worse than "general soreness"?
Mattingly announcing Dre 'suffering from overall soreness' which is why he's not starting.
Are you spying on me, FB??!!
The Kid is beardless.
Seth Smith will hit 3 homers tonight
please, Dan, keep the ball down and in the park tonight
oof Dee crunches his junk against the wall
and please, throw strikes for chrissakes
Carlos Quentin, "Pride of Stanford"? I'd prefer we get a confirmation from Stanford before we start calling him that
Dodgers fans are to forgiving. Carlos Quentin should get his fat ass booed out of the stadium everytime he comes to the plate.
Uribe can't get the grounder up the middle, Haren in some 2-out trouble
Spanky in da house!!
Haren getting squeezed
nice pickup by Dee to end the inning
attaboy Matty!
FH up 2-0 in first against 'Bags.
My Man brings in the RBI. 1-0 Good Guys.
AMARISTA?!? Dan Haren, fuck you!
UNACFUCKINGCEPTABLE
Stupid ass wild pitch K
FB FURIOUS
ugh
I flipped on the TV just as that ball was leaving the yard.
Schleprocked.
nice play, Dee, terrible pitching, Dan
belated BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I am trying hard not to complain about Haren, trying to stay positive
at least we cleared the pitcher
I was taking care of my mom and missed the Amarista homerun. Here's my belated "What the fuck?"
Vinny talking politics. That's so unlike him. It must be weighing heavy on his mind.
Matty works the walk after going down 0-2. Nice
Scotty looked fooled on that K.
cmon Dan, finish this off, keep them at 2
nice work, Dan
*sigh*
Chase. Fucking. Headly.
Headley RBI double makes it 3-1 Padres. Just trade for him already
Haren at 96 pitches with no outs in the fifth.
SF 5-0 in the 5th. Goodbye, sole possession of first place
Haren tossing up BP now.
Mattingly pulling Haren.
this is sad
Vinny saying Haren only able to get into the seventh 3 times in 19 starts.
Perez in. Now things are really sad.
Haren can't even get one out in the fifth.
Ned is on the phone to David Price.
Can AJ look at some film of Haren and figure out his problems?
Our biggest lead of the year has been 1.5 games, so it would have been pretty damn impressive if we had picked up a full game today.
Still could happen, however.
what a fucking tease
Matty breaks his bat over his knee after that K.
That's gonna leave a mark.
why am I still watching this?
Vinny talking about The Babe and what a tough life he had as a youngster. 6 of his 8 siblings died young, his mom died of TB and his father was stabbed to death in front of the saloon he owned. Vinny saying that that saloon still stands about 75 yards from second base at Camden Yard. I was lucky enough to see it on a visit to Camden Yard and really felt like I saw something.
not you, karen, this team right now who can't hit, pitch or catch
Rancho Headleyendo
imagine how awful Headley would be for us if we traded for him
Jamey working to get out of this mess, one more out to get
and he does get the third out...
this is so sad, good night
We're losing 6-1? What happened?
Never mind, I don't want to know
I've been sitting here watching this game and I still can't figure out how the hell we got behind the lowly ass Padres by 5 runs. When this team goes bad, they are really painful to watch.
Boys threatening (teasing?) in the 8th. 2 on, no outs.
RA for boys, 2 out CC AB.
Nope. CC grounds out leaving bases juiced. Onto ninth.
No foam parties, streaking or questionable acts with fish and/or barnyard animals tonight for SoSGers.
Maholm probably tomorrow nights starter so not much hope there either.
We lose. Giants win. All tied up again.
PGT up!
