Tuesday's Friar On Fire
In the first installment of Friar On Fire, we aim to choose the Padre who will be the difference maker in that day's game. The most obvious choice here would be the white hot (and tan) Brian Giles who is coming off a career series in Cincinnati that saw him raise his homerun total from 2 to 7 in the three game set. While the Padres right fielder should have earned this first spot as FOF, he has not. The FOF for Tuesday night is Khalil Greene. The shortstop has been hitting the ball well and heavily contributed to San Diego's record breaking performance on Sunday (9 doubles, 12 extra base hits) with a career high 3 two baggers. I like Khalil's chances against the Rockies left handed starter this evening and I am feeling like he's got a "hang a star on that" type play up his 3 quarter blue sleeve!

Khalil is tearing it up in August thus far. He is 14-47 which is a .298 clip. He leads the Friars with 11 rbi's & 27 total bases. Only Blummer has more hits this month (16).
Fox sports also hands us this great information..."Shortstop Khalil Greene was 8-for-13 (.615) with a homer, three doubles and six RBIs in the Cincinnati series, and is batting .348 (8-for-23) with three home runs and a double lifetime against Francis.

I'd say the FOF would go to Kouz, or Maddux. Khalil had a good game, just not the true FOF...
FOF is off to a losing start:
0-1
