It takes right-hander Jake Peavy very little time to start thinking about his next start, especially these days with the San Francisco Giants in the thick of a pennant race with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Peavy allowed a run, five hits and a walk over seven innings Tuesday night, leading the Giants to a 2-1 victory against the Arizona Diamondbacks. With the Dodgers losing at Colorado, the Giants closed to within three games of the NL West leaders. In a few short days, Peavy will make his next start at Dodger Stadium, where first place might be on the line. And Peavy can't wait. He's not waiting, actually. He's already thinking about it. "I won't lie, I was just in the shower thinking about Dee Gordon," Peavy said of the Dodgers leadoff batter. Hey now! Talk about working up a lather, to quote Andrew Baggarly of CSN Bay Area . Wow, that's some progressive talk from a major league ballplayer.
