Open Thread: 9/8, Padres vs. Rockies

Untitled_tiny by jbox on in News

The air in San Diego is becoming crisp, I turned on my heater last night on the way back from the beach.  I forgot to turn it off so when I tried to turn on the A/C today only room temperature air came out.  I think that little experience of me thinking my A/C was broken emphasizes my confusion. Is it Summer or Fall right now?

One thing we can be sure of is that every game is important this time of year.  Pads need to put a winning streak together.

Go Pads!  Experience it!!!

TOUCHDOWN AZTECS!!!!!!
Sorry I thought we didn't care about baseball anymore. If you are bored waiting for the game to start, KOGO 600 AM Aztecs v Cougars. Aztecs lead 10-7. My boy Kevin O'Connell is 5-7 for 71 Yrds in the first QTR. Brandon Bournes just had a 60 yard TD Run.

Scott Hairston off the DL
Only available for PH/running duties.

Padres activate OF Hairston from disabled list

September 8, 2007

DENVER (AP) -- The San Diego Padres activated outfielder Scott Hairston from the 15-day disabled list on Saturday.

Hairston has been out since Aug. 10 with a strained left oblique muscle. Manager Bud Black said that Hairston will be available as a pinch hitter or runner Saturday night.

However, he may not start until later in the week.

"It's all about having the mental confidence to go along with the physical," Black said.

Hairston is hitting .400 with three home runs for the Padres since being acquired from Arizona for minor league pitcher Leo Rosales on July 27.

by Sam (sdsuaztec4) on Sep 8, 2007 6:50 PM PDT up reply actions  

Seriously
what if there was no mangers. the pitcher just came out when they didn't think they could be effective anymore. i guess that wouldn't work with jake, he'd pitch 5 days straight.

Gonzo's name
jbox,

Just for the record, since it has been a topic that has been brought up more than once, I pronounce Gonzo's name like that at the request of his family.  I asked how they would prefer it be pronounced, and they requeseted the Spanish pronunciation.  So out of respect to his family and his culture I have tried to honor their request.

I hope that answers whatever questions there may be as to why I Adrian's name with the accent over the second "a".

I wish!!
I mean...no no (cough cough), of course not. Hmmmm....

I only have one game shot - the kickoff. Mostly to show off the gorgeous field. It's too hard to get good game shots with my little camera. I was taking some of the post-game coaches talk.

almost as much as I hate Byrnes. I have disliked Drew since the whole shitstorm with him and his agent when he was first drafted and held out forever.

The D-Bags announcer
Is he this annoying every night? I've heard Brennaman(sp) and Grace, and I don't think these are the same guys, but my god, that comment when Drew scored, "don't even try to understand this Diamondbacks team to anyone, they won't understand, you're wasting your breath"? What does that even mean? And how pompous is that, like they're some sort of enigma and tremendously complicated to the point that nobody would "get" them. Even when the Cards were putting up the runs, and I was feeling good, that guy was driving me nuts.

Ever since I got MLB.TV last season
Nobody has raised my ire more than that announcing team. What I find truly disrespectful is their stupid fucking buzzer bit that they do when they ask the trivia question. I just wanna be like, "There is a fucking game going on, ya know?"

heh
I saw an ad on the outfield wall of Chase Field that FSN AZ is the exclusive home of the D-Backs after this season, so hopefully this morning DJ wannabe will be out of a job.

And to make things worse, someone in an apartment nearby has made popcorn. I want some popcorn.

by California Penal on Sep 8, 2007 8:42 PM PDT up reply actions  

I doubt it.
They'll keep this announcing team. This is his first year on the job...he's not going anywhere. And neither will Grace. I like your positive thinking, though.

The Big 10 is getting pissed on
I am a buckeye lifer; we are 2-0 and still taking shit about how weak the big 10 is because Michigan sucks more than everyone thought they were supposed to. If Wisc loses.- we could go undefeated and win every game big and still be laughed at.

Akron keeping it close....
...didn't help either. My wife is a Penn Stater.

by Drama on Sep 8, 2007 9:24 PM PDT up reply actions  

Boeckman (rookie QB)
looked downright awful at times. Our defense is looking good- granted, it is Akron, but we had pressure and sacks left and right, and had 3 dropped picks.

I have to say, i was delighted to see penn state wipe the floor with notre dame. because the big 10 needed it, and i hate that smug douche Jimmy Clausen.

Plus- in michigan's loss, Hart, Henne, Jake Long, (their three studs) were all injured. Next week= Mich vs. Notre Dame, AKA the game that somebody has to win.

Mich and ND will just agree that they both suck and then plan on a tie so each team will have something to feel good about

by socaldelmar on Sep 8, 2007 9:48 PM PDT up reply actions  

Idk- I think its going to be close
Michigan's defense couldn't stop me-- but ND's offense is god awful.

ND's defense is average- and Michigan's QB, RB, and LG are injured/hobbled. Mich had a true fresh in at QB after Henne got hurt and it was ugly.

I think this game is going to be low scoring- lots of turnovers, lots of three and outs. I actually pick ND to win.

by JBro12 on Sep 8, 2007 9:50 PM PDT up reply actions  

Forget about Appalachian State-
Mich can't defend ANYBODY's spread offense. If Jimmy Clausen's head isn't completely up his ass and Weis gameplans correctly (lots of 3 WR, 4 WR sets with quick hitter routes at 5-15 yards deep) I think ND will win.

by JBro12 on Sep 8, 2007 9:54 PM PDT up reply actions  

If they bring eight guys against Clausen,
all he has to do is complete short, underneath routes and keep the chains moving. I know Penn State had success with the blitz against him today, though.
