And San Diego fans should pillory Peavy every bit as much as Hoffman. He was awful in that game. He's supposed to be the best pitcher in the league and he got hammered in the biggest start of his career.

Hes horrible in Colorado, I saw it coming.

Mcclelland should be fired, the crooked as umpire and officials in this country are really killing sports

Oh, I know Cla...I called him the 1-iron for a while last year, because not even god could hit the sonofabitch. He struggled a might this year, though.

How cold was this game?

Hes still the right pitcher for that situation.

75 degrees at first pitch, I'd imagine high 50's at the end of the game.

I'm not doubting that...

It's still 61 here currently, FWIW.

cough....cough...bullshit.....cough....cough

Condolances, BK. Shitty week for you.

At least your suffering with the Padres is over.

At least you have the Clippers to look forward to......oh wait.

There's always next year!

Lets see...

Notable Trevor Hoffman Blown Saves:

2007- Blew a 2 run lead to the Rockies in the bottom of the 13th in a one game playoff for the NL Wild Card.

Blew a 1 run lead in the bottom of the 9th against the Brewers with 2 games to go in the season which would have clinched the the NL Wild Card for the Padres

2006- Blew a 1 run lead in the top of the 9th in the All Star game. This would have clinched homefield advantage for the National League, and clinched the first win for the NL in an all-star game in over 10 years.

1998- Blew a 1 run lead in the top of the 8th inning in game 3 of the World Series by giving up a 3 run home run to Scott Brosius.


Im sure there are more, these were the only ones I could think of right now.

The only 2 games that I can remember he saved in a clutch situation were last year, last game of the year, had a 3 run lead in the 9th, and due to a bad call by the umps, he got the 3rd out and saved the game by 1 run.

And in 1996 he saved the final game of the season against the Dodgers to win the NL West.

In both of these situations, the Padres had already clinched at least the Wild Card, so even if they lost they would have already made it into the Playoffs
