Games about to start. Here's your source for witty banter during.

Let's see if Clay can't mold a victory out of this one. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!

That's actually a Padres.com joke. Don't blame me.

Zambrano struggling

See the old Padres would've let Zambrano settle in and relax without scoring more this inning.

As of today, these are the new Padres and they won't be letting up that easy.

Or maybe they will

Now the pessimist in me is saying that Zambrano will pitch no hit baseball the rest of the way through.

even if Victor could toss a no no

he'd still walk 12-13 guys.

Hensley getting no help...

BB, GB, GB should be inning over.

Pulling Hensley is crap here.

A guy induces two groundballs and a pop fly and you pull him? Bull shit.

It has been suggested that he was...

nearing his pitch count. If so, it still sucks.

This is why you don't pull a guy who is cruising.

Cassidy has made this one ugly.

If the Padres lose this game,

it's Bochy's fault.

Scott Cassidy is a bum.

He just walked Jose Reyes and Chris Woodward in the same inning.

The least you can ask of a manager...

is that he no lose games for you. Bochy can't meet that simple requirement.

"not" rather than "no"

Bochy is retarded

for lack of better words.

If you expect Hensley to be a starter

then let him pitch like a starter, not an extended relief specialist (75 pitches and he's done without a hard hit that inning).

by bktabinga on Apr 23, 2006 3:02 PM PDT up reply actions

Maybe he told Bochy he was tired?

by Dex on Apr 23, 2006 3:10 PM PDT up reply actions

I think he told Bochy

that he didn't have his greenies today.

Speaking of Keith...

(or at least his counterpart) he mentioend that Clay Hensley was one of the guys busted for steroids last year, one of the minor league pitchers.

Is that true?

by bktabinga on Apr 23, 2006 3:07 PM PDT reply actions

Steroids or steroid precusors

Clay needs to be more careful with his prescriptions.

Padres getting some them runs back

I'll be happy with a split this series, but I'll still be bummed about the wasted Peavy start.

by Dex on Apr 23, 2006 3:13 PM PDT reply actions

Dude...I thought I dwelled...

think today!

How about I really like Hoffman at 3rd...last year Pich would have held Barfielf for no discernable reason.

I like how he held Hensley at third with floyd fielding and avoiding a nasty pitcher sliding at home situation. I think Pich in that case sends him because he has no idea what to do.
