May vs Suppan

These 5:10 starts screw me up a little bit. We join the action in the bottom of the first. The Padres have already struck for one. Let's go Padres!

Padres are looking pretty good so far

May looks confident. Poised some would say.

I'll say he looks sanguine.

a bounty to be sure

I came home today to find that wifey had hit Costco today. So, now I'm eating some Kirkland Extra Fancy Mixed Nuts. Deeeelish. Shortly, I'll be sipping a Dr Pepper.

Ramon with a broken bat single. Ramon's my Padres all star. He's provided some good Major League Memories®

Reggie Sanders home run

Why is he so mad at us? Why does he dig a little deeper? Why does he unleash such fury on our boys?

Padres with a couple of breaks here

I think the Cardinals want us to win.

Everybody roots for the underdogs.

nevin

continues his hitting streak with a double that means 14 games with a .142 average. I made up that average.

nevin to third

giles appears to be thinking about kournikova again.

Doesn't it seem like there are a bunch of Grannies in the stands today in STL.

2-1, St. Louis

Time to get aggressive, Padres.

Get aggressive soon, cause jbox is falling asleep on my couch and waking him up is like trying to get a leash on a hippo.

Jbox gets grouchy.

Giles has a horrible arm

And now it's 3 to 1.

Friggin' May, dude

Somebody call timeout. Calm May down a little bit.

Jbox is dictating his comments to me from the couch so that we give the illusion of more than just us in the comments section today.

where's the shalaylee?

Somebody get the shalaylee.

by jbox on May 6, 2005 6:35 PM PDT reply actions

4-1 St. Louis at the end of 3

That's nothing dude.

Oh man. Grant just broke out the shalaylee.

Roberts gets a big double

and loretta bunts him over to third

May is not destined to be anything for the Pads.

Those curves look so slow

They look as though they could be hit a mile. Suppan's stuff looks like soup. But I guess the Padres aren't in the mood tonight.

May

I sometimes do what May did when I'm playing MVP Baseball 2005 on the PS2. Like I'll give up one run and then I'll get mad and just give up a ton of runs. Then I'll turn the PS2 off in frustration.

by Dex on May 6, 2005 6:59 PM PDT reply actions

You see Suppan sniff his cap?

That's nasty. Though I guess you gotta check for the funk sometime.

BIG LEAGUE BALD SPOT!!!

So who takes off Sweeney's helmet when

he goes big league.

by bktabinga on May 6, 2005 7:03 PM PDT up reply actions

They must have it figured out

If Sweeney's gonna be clutch all the time, somebody better be Big League Hairing that guy.

We're in the bullpen, boys!

Thank Grant for the shalaylee.

So how unintimidating is it to have

two cute little red birdies holding up a bat. I guess you can see I don't like the Cards uni's. But I do like the contrast between Red and white, especially to see the crowd decked in red. It's like a high school football game.
