dland is right. I'm 2 hours ahead and there have been nights where I had to go to bed while the game was barely in the 7th inning.

On Tuesday night, Padres pitcher Chad Qualls irked some Giants players and some fans when he spiked the baseball and yelled after tagging Andres Torres out at the plate.  

We can argue whether the Giants -- who have a number of players who are demonstrative, flashy and just plain silly -- have any standing to take issue with Qualls, but justified or not, there is some tension there.  Chris Jenkins of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports that San Francisco talk radio was buzzing with serious Qualls hate all day yesterday.

Don’t expect that tension to be reduced any after Jenkins’ story, however, because Qualls -- while speaking pretty truthfully based on what my San Francisco correspondents have told me -- added some fuel to the fire, at least with the fans, when he had this to say about playing in beautiful AT&T Park:

“Playing in San Francisco, you gotta understand, when you’re warming up two feet from the fans, they’re not telling you how good you are or telling you how glad they are that you’re warming up," Qualls said.

"They’re calling you every name in the book, every cuss word in the book. To shut them down on an inning where we’re ahead, it’s kinda putting it to the city and the fans, because they’re just wearing you out on a consistent basis as you’re warming up, spitting on you, calling you anything they want. The later the game, the more drunk they are, the more harsh the words.

What an idiot. That goes for every city, there's not a place in the world where the visiting team is going to be greeted with bells and whistles and have a parade thrown for them.

Dude let his emotions take over when he spiked the ball. The Giants made a fuss about it - which they really shouldnt have in the first place. Score some %@@@+#@ runs and shut up. Now he has to answer for his actions and decided to mention something as obvious as heckling. It's a stupid non-story.

Bill Hall hurt (not that I care)....we could field a whole damn team with DL/injured players with Sanchez being the starter.

That was a bomb by Ludwick.

But a 3rd straight quality start by Zito is just what we needed after our bullpen worked a lot last night.
