Pad-dled

"His undoing in the seventh inning was walking Roberts on four straight pitches." (Frank Robinson, via Washington Post, 8/6/2006)

Padres 6, Nationals 3. Frank lacks faith in the 'pen, so he leaves Astacio in for maybe, maybe, just a little too long. (Although you get the feeling that if it wasn't Astacio blowing this one, it would have been Rivera or Corky)

Zimmerman goes long for the second night in a row. Marlon goes yard, too.

Mercifully, the Roy Corcoran Era is over (for now) - sent back to NoLA after the game. See you In September, Corky. Billy Traber called back up.
