Baseball under the sun

As longtime Padres announcer Jerry Coleman would say, today is "baseball under the sun." We're heading to Petco Park in a few hours, and got lucky because we'll get to see Jake Peavy (against Livan Hernandez of the Nationals). I really like Peavy, though this season has been horrible--there is all kinds of speculation, much of which centers on his participation in the World Baseball Classic.

Even better, it is "kids run the bases" day, so my kids and their cousins will go down on the field after the game. This dad/uncle also plans on being down there.
