A perfect Sunday morning at Petco
The sun is shining, and Jason Schmidt, Rick Honeycutt and Rob Flippo are all headed down to the bullpen for another Schmidt side session. This is actually a big game for the boys. Even if they don't get another shot at Peavy until Friday night, this is their chance to prove they can beat a good pitcher (Chris Young). ... Not to shoot all of you down, but I'm thinking this whole mysterious substance on Jake Peavy's hand thing is a whole lot of nothing ... and even if it is a little bit of something, it's probably the same little bit of something that almost every pitcher in baseball is guilty of. It ISN'T the reason he is now 10-1 with a 2.21 ERA against the Dodgers for his career. Again, this team HAS to find a way to beat good pitchers, whether those pitchers have their hands slathered in pine tar or not.

Personally, I figured the same thing I said with Kenny Rogers - they were out of toilet paper in the mens room.

Greetings.
My expectation is that nothing official will come of this, but that Jake Peavy will not have quite the same season in 2008 as he had in 2007.
