Open Thread: 7/7/7, Padres vs. Braves
The game is on Fox today. It's the game of the week, which puts crafty veteran David Wells against the young and vivacious rookie something Reyes. Reyes is making his major league debut.
What's Bud Black have to say about all of this?
Bud Black knows his first name so he knows more than me.
Jon and Kev are coming over and we're gonna watch the game and get some In-n-out, because after all that's what a hamburger is all about.
Let's try to be less critical of the Padres today. Perhaps even cut down on the cussing, unless totally necessary. Yes their offense is frustrating at times, yes our pitching isn't perfect and yes we are the best team in the MLB. Let's do this!
GO PADRES! EXPERIENCE IT!

On being more positive
My b/f got on me for being negative. He wasn't wrong, but I was able to explain myself to his satisfaction. I am completely convinced that this offense is underperforming. I don't think we desperately need a big bat, though I wouldn't say no if Big Papi showed up and offered to play for us. What I think is needed is just some good luck, some better at bats, and for the guys to hit like I know they can. And they will. It's just been a rough month so far, and last month wasn't any better.
And it's baseball. As many have pointed out, it's a game based on failure. So it can be hard to stay positive. But I have absolute faith.
Have a great game today, everyone. Enjoy it! Er, I mean, Experience it!
Fox?
I guess I don't get the whole "blackout" thing.
Do I get screwed because I'm in LA? We get Angels games anyway on Ch. 9, so I don't understand. Can anyone explain?

this never makes sense to me
anyway. i listened to the radio broadcast today. which was oddly pleasing.
Tim M. and Joe Buck
yes he is

Who cares that Reyes' parents are taking his friends out to dinner!

I hope Clemens gets his ass handed to him
Not that I miss listening to McCarver. Lietner's better than Timmeh, but it still would have been nice to see the Padres on TV, since it's a rarity. At least I got to see it last night on TBS, even though it wasn't the best game.
Doesn't ESPN have tomorrow's game?

Probably because he won't be playing in the soon to be built 1 billion dollar stadium.

I apologize
I stated my case for my frustration on an earlier thread. I am tired of this team just 'making it' to the playoffs. I KNOW this current team will make it. They are GOOD. But - they WILL lose in the post season IF someone does not figure out how to get more production from this lineup. It is appalling to me when I can watch 9-10 year old Little Leaguers move runners along and have 'quality' outs and drive in runs with 2 outs and know that the Padres cannot do it. Chronically cannot do it. And that nobody other than us seems to acknowledge that or seem to care.
See how the Braves just tied it? When we do it - it's a fluke.
Meanwhile, I wont participate anymore today. Guess I should give my negative self a time out.
GO PADRES - there is a little boy in Sweden who wants to come home to a first place team in 3 weeks.
Oh man...not cool.

Fine - one more comment
That umpire was way too quick on the trigger AND he was wrong on those two pitches.
And now I am leaving for about an hour for an appointment. PLEASE TRY to get this team up! I would love to believe that we can come back from a 2-run deficit. RIGHT?!!
Roster moves....

See ya, Jojo
Kinda sucks for the Reyes kid, but hey...trial by fire. He'll be okay.
Meanwhile, we've got a game to win. Let's hope "the best bullpen in baseball" can come through.
Glad to see our offense working tonight. Are the Fox guys really being dicks? (Oh yeah, it's McCarver...dumb question.)

But I didn't, and--thankfully--he didn't! SWEET WIN!
Cool that a national audience (except LA, durnit!) got to see the Padres at their best. AND they got Wells putting on a show, as well as Trevor Time! I envy them, but I'm happy for the Padres!
Let's take the series!!!!!!!!

I Like the Dueling Headlines
For today's game, it simply says "Braves Lose As Bullpen Falters". For yesterday's game, it screams "Braves Bash Padres in Series Opener."
In both games, the winning team won by 3 runs, but for some reason, I guess the Padres win today didn't qualify as a "bashing".
