Saturday's game with the Padres wearing the club's 1936 PCL uniform was something special. Jake Peavy did not pitch his best game but looked so much the part, even with the double pump to start the game.
Having the Pacific Coast League Padre players attend the game was a great tribute to San Diego baseball history. I have been fortunate to see the Padres play at Lane Field, Westgate Park, etc. For a while I thought I was a little kid at Lane Field again.
Jake Peavy reminds me of the way the game was played years ago. He wants to stay in the game. He would make every game a complete game if he could. He actually enjoys the competition. This young kid is the true leader of this team. Maybe Ryan Klesko and Phil Nevin can learn something from him. The Padres would be better off if they stopped making excuses, shaking their heads, get the sour looks off their faces, sucked it up and had some fun. As Jake Peavy might say "Come on Boys, lets play some ball"
