Where's the Offense?
Padres 4, Nats 1: The Big Chill continues out West.
Here's Jim Riggleman's take on Elijah Dukes getting picked off first in the seventh, which was naturally followed by a Josh Bard HR:
"You don't know that you're gonna get that home run if we weren't picked off. But you can't get picked off either way. The issue is getting picked off, it's not the fact that we got a home run afterwards. We're equally at fault if we get picked off whether we hit the home run next or not."
