Pads run into Kryptonite.
And it came in the form of Doug Davis....
Well the balloon was swelling to such enormous proportions that at some time the air needed to leak out. Davis had the Pads guessing most of the night, and Lawrence was just awful. Then again, he DID take one for the team as the tired bullpen needed a break before a long series with the Cubs. B-Law was hit hard early & often, and it was the friendly confines of Petco that kept the score as low as it was. A grandslam by Blum in the bottom of the ninth would have been ridiculously too much to ask for. Some notes...
-Blum had his 6th straight multi-hit game, and is really looking a bit like Loretta from last year. Mabey opportunity coupled with finally figuring a few things out will make him a solid everyday player for a few years.
-SD is three runs shy of St.Louis' league leading 270 runs scored, and have the best home record in baseball.
-Giles leads all baseball in walks(43), and his .930 OPS is making it unlikely he'll resign w/the Pads next year as he'll probably command a three year deal at high dollars. Being he'll be suited to basically playing LF, this is exactly the type of contract the Pads DON'T want to get stuck with.(see Phil Nevin)
-Hernandez on the other hand just turned 29, and a three year deal would be ideal. Unfortunately he wants four, and in the 10mil range. Too much for a guy who has nice(but not exceptional) power, and doesn't draw many walks. His .804 OPS is probably what you'd expect from him throughout the contract(w/mabey a peak .850 year) and I say that's worth 3yrs/25mil tops.
-Stauffer goes tonight and has gone at least 5.2 innings each outing with ERs of 2,3,4,2. Very impressive.
With the four game series upcoming with Chicago, we miss Wood & Prior(both on the DL) which should make it a very winable series. Woody may pitch Saturday instead of May, and Peavy vs. Zambrano Sunday is a great young pitching matchup.

Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.
Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements
The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology
We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
