In the last 10 years I've seen 2 of our starters (Ashby and Young) get within 2 outs of finishing it and fall short, as well as many others who haven't gotten as close. My feeling is that I can't possibly make it any worse by saying something, since it's clear that we can't do it anyway. That being said, Peavy is going to throw a no-hitter tonight. I can feel it. lol I’ve given up on trying to not jinx them because years of watching the Padres get oh-so-close to the no-no and fail have made me believe that nothing we as fans can say has any effect on it, outside of making noise if you’re seeing it happen in person.

I just gave trying when in the 7th as loud as could be she goes " Oh! I get it he is throwing a no hitter " about 20 eyes looked back at her. I said to myself he better throw a no hitter or I might be fighting my way out here.

In 12 hours I'll be at the ballpark...this is like Christmas morning for me. I'm incredibly excited about the possibilities but I have no idea what will happen...

Looking back on it now I can't believe that line up didn't get a hit. A-Rod, Griffey, Martinez and Buhner my God !!!! I also remember that Gooden had just come back from Tampa and working Connors because he was doing so bad. You just never know.
