Why Giants righty Jake Peavy is pitching for another contract

BOSTON -- There are days when Jake Peavy could feel cheated. There are days when he could feel frantic. Some others, he could be plain worn out.

He is a 35-year-old pitcher who hasn't spent much time in the garage over his baseball life, and he is well past the turnaround point. When you are headed home, you tend to savor the sights, and the colors are saturated from all you've experienced.So when Peavy stands on the slab Tuesday at Fenway Park, he knows the most maddening and frustrating five months of his life will fall away.This will be a day to feel blessed.
