Open Thread: Game 1 Division Series or The Battle of Karma and Balls

by Dex on Oct 4, 2005 9:24 AM PDT in News Comment 159 comments

Today's the big one. Ramon's in the clubhouse getting the nervous poop out. Khalil's oiling up his gears. Brian Giles is actively looking for somebody to teabag.

Everybody relax. Relax. All those numbers don't mean anything now. Now it all comes down to karma. Karma and balls. St. Louis may have all the numbers and statistics and damn lies on their side. Padres have karma, balls, and Big League Hair.

Starting lineups announced soon!

LET'S GET PUMPED!!!

Barring a comeback

Before anyone goes off and gets disappointed, let me take you into the FishStripes time machine for a quick Marlins story:

The Marlins were shut out in the opening game of the 2003 NLDS at the hands of Barry Bonds, Jason Schmidt, and the other evil Giants.

After that though, the underdog Marlins came back and won three straight to take the series. I don't remember what happened after that, but as I recall, it didn't suck. Hopefully the Pads will do the same.

Oh well

Somebody must have gotten distracted there. It was a good attempt, Gaslamp Ballers. We just need to do that a little earlier if we fall behind Thursday.

Never Mind That

Forget falling behind. Focus to get a huge lead early.

Let's go, Pedro.

Go Padres!

hell

at least they showed a little life. let's hope they don't get too down on themselves here...there was some serious bad luck in there too. don't get me wrong. St. Louis is GOOD. They whupped up on us today. But take away a couple ducksnorts and some liners right at guys and it's a different game.

all that said, scoreboard. I know. but they got a series here, not one game. they gotta get jacked up and go to battle next game.
