well there you have it, one of the greatest runs in baseball is over. Pedro Martinez gave up 3 runs to the SF Giants and lost his first game in 31 straight decisions. Amazingly, the Giants are the worst team in the NL West and some how found a way to beat the best pitcher in baseball.

About San Diego...i've noticed some trends in some other leagues people have had. i think it just has to do with opportunity and development. San Diego is winning more games every year and this year (2004) decided to up payroll by about 10 million dollars. with more fans coming to the games (interest is at 80 now) and a very good young staff (minus the career ending injury to Adam Eaton) thats only getting better, the Padres have a future in my league. So maybe Pedro noticed that and signed on. Ofcourse, he took 240,000 more dollars to sign with San Diego over my 2 time Champion Yankees, but ya know thats ight. i'm kool...

Pedro is pretty dominating in the game. He has won every AL Cy Young so far and looks like he's on his way to dominating the NL.
Good thing for guys like Seattle's Pineiro (who's becoming a monster) and the White Sox' Bud Smith (who is almost unstoppable now) and ofcourse Roy Oswalt has got to be thankin me for moving the Astros to the AL West.
