Open Thread, Padres vs Dodgers

It's funny how everyone got so excited about them and their pathetic little winning streak. They won four straight...three of them coming against the Nationals...one of the worst teams in baseball. Welcome back to real baseball, Dodgers.

Wells and Hillenbrand.

Nice to see us put up some runs for Jake

Barring a major disaster, he'll lead all NL pitchers in wins after tonite.

This is probably my only post tonite. I'm in San Diego at the parentals and it's hard to peel myself away from glorious Channel 4 HD.

I haven't taken out the laptop tonight so I am on the sofa in front of the open window with the nice breeze and getting up to come to the PC to post seems like quite a journey!

Cameron's Slam

Rewinded the DVR to watch it again, and confirmed what I thought when it happened.....

Cameron's grand slam was on a slider. Makes it that much more impressive, since it's his and K-Bot's kryptonite.

Christina...

Did Alex have his first game today?

by Drama on Sep 1, 2007 8:58 PM PDT up reply actions

Yes!!

Thanks for asking :-)

Short story - they won 20-0 in 115 degree heat on the field in Temecula.

Long story - see my blog :-)

Awesome.

Wolfie needs to give up that radio gig. He has a Hall of Fame career as a coach in front of him.

by Drama on Sep 1, 2007 9:00 PM PDT up reply actions

You are not the first to say that!!

You know what he did after coaching those kids in that heat??? He left to go scout a future opponent!! He is insane!! Err....dedicated ;-)

Cam

Sure glad we didn't re-sign him when we had the chance.

by Drama on Sep 1, 2007 8:58 PM PDT reply actions

Yeah.

Just as well we took a wait-and-see, wouldn't want to be stuck with him now.

Kent - not only a jerk

but kinda annoying, too.

i'm going to smoke a cigarette

and catch some of the game on the 56" 1080p HDTV, I might bring my laptop along but I don't think we're in any jeopardy from the dodgers. bbs

Jake

Has he been under 100 pitches in the 7th at all this season??

by Drama on Sep 1, 2007 9:06 PM PDT reply actions

Jake

7.2 innings right now....his longest start of the season.

by Drama on Sep 1, 2007 9:07 PM PDT reply actions

Sorry.

I'm a dipshit. He's at 7.0.

by Drama on Sep 1, 2007 9:08 PM PDT up reply actions

Yeah, Martin, go ahead

argue with the ump. Get your hiney booted from the game.

by Demoira on Sep 1, 2007 9:08 PM PDT reply actions

Martin tossed

Why's he complaining? Spares him getting struck out like a punk two more times this evening.

by Dex on Sep 1, 2007 9:08 PM PDT reply actions

I don't know.

They only have 2 more at-bats. I don't see his spot in the order coming back up again. :)

by Drama on Sep 1, 2007 9:09 PM PDT up reply actions

Hu's on second?

by planetjeffy on Sep 1, 2007 9:14 PM PDT reply actions

nice one

by Drama on Sep 1, 2007 9:15 PM PDT up reply actions

Actually

Hu's on short. Greatest joke ever in my lap.

by planetjeffy on Sep 1, 2007 9:16 PM PDT up reply actions

Hu's out?

by planetjeffy on Sep 1, 2007 9:21 PM PDT up reply actions

Hu's out at first

According to Quist.

Why did that make me laugh out loud??

Don't feel bad.

Quis was way worse.

by Drama on Sep 1, 2007 9:22 PM PDT up reply actions

It took the guys in the booth

way too long to see that one - they probably saw it on here first.

by Demoira on Sep 1, 2007 9:22 PM PDT up reply actions

I was shocked

they didn't work it much sooner.

by planetjeffy on Sep 1, 2007 9:29 PM PDT up reply actions

Seven to Nada, huh?

Damn! A lot can happen when a guy goes across the way to pound a couple o' forties.

Nice to see the Pads

show off some guys from Portland, besides some so so pitchers.

BTW

After his work tonight....Jake's ERA is 2.10.

Thank you

I did wonder about that!

No Trevor tonight,

but today I was reminded that our beloved closer's signature entrance is used by my homestate West Virginia Mountaineers whenever the opposition is faced with a third down. Not to say I give a toss about football; it's just an excuse to drink beer and waste time 'til the Pads play.

I like British entertainment.

Not as much as Canadian entertainment (like Kids in the Hall) but that's where that comes from. Yes, crap like that really is actually part of my day-to-day speech.

When Jake pulls the dagger out of the Dodgers

Both.

They bleed Rockies.

Rockies coming back

against AZ. 12 - 7 2 on 1 out in the eighth.

by planetjeffy on Sep 1, 2007 9:50 PM PDT reply actions

Just got back from the game

WHOO it was fun.

During the fireworks, Jake and his entire family came out and watched them.
Then his boys went out into left field and beat each other up with Trevors kids and Jake and his blonde bombshell of a wife literally layed on the grass and talked with an older couple for about ten minutes. They looked so chill. Then Jake got up and laughed with people and signed autographs (including a Dodger hat which the guy later told me Jake wrote GO PADRES on it)..

Ahh fun night!
