Sweet Dreams!

Yes, I will have them. Sweet ones. Of Brian Giles in all his naked, bleached blonde glory. Team MVP. Retire his number. Awesome.

when the ninth started, i looked at my GF (studiously ignoring my dismay), hat upside down on my head, and said "I'm rarely desperate for anything when I watch sports, but I'm desperate for something right now...I really need them to do something right now..." and she kind of shook her head and patted my shoulder.

then, all that

this was the first time since Tony retired that I actually had to hold back tears, a little. well, when Tony hung 'em up I didn't hold back. I managed to hang on this time. The boys have a lot more work to do.

McCovey Chronicles

Since they were posting our comments over there and having a big laugh during the game, I'll post one of theirs (posted, oh, around the bottom of the 9th inning) that made me smile really big:

NOTE: I censored the naughty words.

<<This must be at least the 15th game where I open the Yahoo sports window and see that the Giants were leading by multiple runs going into the top of the 9th.<br> Feeling comfortable, i go back to my homework.

I open it up again 20 minutes later and it's the last pitch of the game in the bottom of the 9th, with the Giants losing by multiple runs.

F*ck this team. F*ck the Padres. F*ck the Dodgers. F*ck the NL West. F*ck baseball.>>

the rockies end the season playing the dbacks

that should be interesting. with all these teams left in the race this is by far the most exciting MLB playoff race I can remember in years. the cubs brewers braves phillies dbacks rockies and padres all have legitimate shots at making the playoffs with 5 games left.

KT said he is planning on having peavy start on 3 days rest to end the season. he also said 89 should get us in playoffs 90 Definitley will. we win 3 outta the last 5 we are in good shape. go padres!

threepeat?(never thought id be able to say that about the padres!)

by Peavyforprez08 on Sep 25, 2007 11:10 PM PDT reply actions

wow.

if we win out or 4 out of 5, we have a really good chance the division still. with the rockies fighting for the WC, they have a good chance of beating the dbags. this is going to be vvveeeeeeery interesting.

can't blame him

the ump does that, you have no choice. if he takes it, we bitch him for staring at strike three.

So I kinda gave up on the game

and walked to Ralph's to get dinner in the 7th. On the walk back, I get a call from my Dad and the first thing he says to me is "SANTA MARIA!" I completely freak out on the sidewalk and drop my steak and beers in celebration. I then calm down, grab my stuff, and run back to my apt in time for Trevor's save.

That was one of the better Padre moments I ever had. We've really got some good mojo going now. Experience the playoffs!

all I can hope for is attrition by those two teams gives us the lead in the division.

Go Padres, from a Cubs fan

Look, we don't like you, and you don't like us, but this weekend, we both would benefit from you guys beating down the Beermakers, so we're hopping on your bandwagon for a little bit.

We'll try to not mess the place up too much, and come Monday we can go back to hating each other. Agreed?

root for us...sure...

but we'll still hate cubs. we can agree to hate each other, and agree to combine vibes against the brewers, but I will not relinquish my hate for all things cubs.

Matt Cain is an even bigger ass then we thought.

From this mornings U-T:

One theatrical difference between the two games was that the Giants and Padres were openly hostile toward one another last night.

The Padres didn't like that Giants pitcher Matt Cain stared down Scott Hairston after striking him out early in the game.

"Matt Cain is a great pitcher," said the Padres' Brett Tomko, a former Giants teammate of the 22-year-old. "But you don't need to stare down people if you strike them out."

And this:

When Hairston homered off Cain in the sixth to draw the Padres to 4-1 - his sixth home run in 43 at-bats against the Giants this year - he flipped his bat some 15 feet in an obvious show of disdain.
Cain erupted, screaming at Hairston as he circled the bases. Two innings later, when Giants closer Brian Wilson struck out Hairston, Cain, leaning over the dugout rail, waved goodbye as Hairston walked to the dugout.

This time, it was Tomko who erupted. He went to the top of the dugout and screamed angrily at Cain.

"I wanted to defend my teammate because I thought it was a bad move by Cain," Tomko said. "Cain had rubbed his eyes, telling me not to cry because of the scoreboard."

we should keep uncle Milty on the top step for every game from here on out. he's nothing if not a fantastic cheerleader. plus, i think that'd make other teams less likely to f*ck with us.

(when i woke up this morning and watched the highlights, i cackled out loud at Hairston's bat-toss. please tell me we have him signed for at least next year.)
