Already got my tix ... wouldn't miss it for the world.

Peavy vs. Fogg.

Peavy has been dominant, but of course we just beat him on the road a week ago. Why? Because the Padres have a joke of an offense.

So anything can happen. Particularly at Coors Field.

Fantastic atmosphere today. Almost as fun as the game on the field was the scoreboard watching.

-- coming through the turnstiles into Coors the ticket scanner guy tells everyone it's 3-0 Padres

-- first big cheer of the day comes when the Brew Crew puts a run on the scoreboard

-- I go out to get food and beer ... guy standing in line next to me almost makes me spill my beer when he yells "4 to 3 Brewers."

-- All of a sudden the scoreboard numbers start flipping: 6-3, 9-4, finally 11-4

-- we finally squeak out a run ... guy behind me leaves, only to come back an inning later saying that the line for the tiebreaker game tickets is already around the block

-- Meanwhile, the D'backs catch us and we all start to realize that the hard part of this will be winning our own game ... thankfully Atkins and Hawpe come through, and just as thankfully the D'backs decide not to use their better relievers until the 8th

-- a win, and everyone stays in their seats to soak it up

Amazing.
