What a weekend!

I'm still trying to get over the 3 straight losses to the Phillies.  That is why I haven't been here much the last few days.  The highlight though for me was Saturday.  Positive highlight, that is.  I went to the "Party in the Park" which is a season-ticket-holder-only event.  I'm sure many of you know about and possibly were even there.  I took a bunch of awesome pictures, and I mean AWESOME.  Some of Klesko, Sweeney and Peavy (my two faves), Nady, Hensely, Hoffy, and more.  To prove my dorkiness, I created a video slide-show to music of all the pics I took.  I can't post it to the site, but if anyone wants it, send me your e-mail and I'll send it to you.  You can e-mail me at lara1974@yahoo.com.  Warning...the video is waaaaayy amateur, so I won't accept any complaints after you see it.
So... I got more confirmation that Sweeney is one heck of a guy.  He is hillareous!!  He straight-out said to all that Fick needs an extreme makeover.  Ted Leitner was asking all the guys the questions, and he asked, "If there was one Padre that could receive an Extreme Makeover, who should it be, Anyone....?"  Sweeney took the mike and said, "Are you kidding me?  That is eeaassy.  Robert Fick!!  Has anyone taken a good look at that guy recently?  Maaan!  That guy is in maajor need of a ta'an."  That's not the exact wording, but it..was...funny.  I got some pics of him saying that and all the guys laughing.  Then of course Sweeney tried to get all the guys to show their "Pelo".  He said Hoffy had the best pelo.  And there were a few guys that he said would never show their pelo.  Some proved him wrong though and took their hats off.  Anyway...I could go on and on.  You shoulda seen it though.  That and watching Peavy pitch on Friday (save the 3 run homer in the first)were my highlights.  I'm trying to forget the losses.  And one more complaint...why, oh why, did Boch put Trevor in on Saturday when it was NOT a save situation.  I was pissed!  I hope B-Law can put up some goose eggs tomorrow...like 9 would be nice.  Go Pads!
