It Just Feels Right

by Winfield's Ghost on Nov 15, 2008 6:44 PM PST

The last couple of weeks have exhausted me. I know, I know. It's stupid to get sucked into all this rumor and innuendo, but I can't change that now. It's too hard to figure out whose side I'm on now. I no longer know. I can't eat. I can't sleep. The Padres are ruining my life and I had to figure out a way to stop it.

So I did what I always do when life is getting me down.

I searched through all the mix CDs that Drama is always sending me and tried to locate the one song that best represents what's been going on in PadreLand. One that really speaks to the situation. One with a beat you can dance to.

And I think I found it. And after I composed a riveting photo narrative to accompany it, I felt much better.

I hope it makes you feel better, too.

Edmonds?!?!?!

Really, I think we should concentrate our anger toward Bud Black. That makes me feel better.

Ron Rivera. Change we can believe in. YES WE CAN!

Not so much anger

as much as I thought he was a fitting partner for the word “done.”

I'll never forget that OGT. When we talked "jorts."

With a name like Smuckers, it has to be good!

I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.

You're just angry that I didn't use an Archuleta song

Oh. That reminds me.

I was going to ask you. Do you catch a breath…when I look at you? Are you holdin’ back…like the way I do?

Never thought

The Cat Videos would be topped, but I think they just were….Good Job!

I do feel a bit better

Can we get them to play that on the big screen @ petco next year?
You know, right after the player introductions opening day?

Thanks Winfield's Ghost

That was both sad and hilarious at the same time. So fitting. Well done.

I'm not in denial, I'm just selective about the reality I choose to accept.

I'm going to drink now

That just made me really sad and depressed. Nice.

Mmmmm....

It totally made things better when I saw Mark Kotsays wife in that clip. For a second there I forgot about all the negative stuff going on.

After about the third picture...

I started thinking “He added the pic of P-Keg on his back…right? He had to have added that classic. Come on, WG. Don’t let me down. Where is it? Come on…YES!”

Nice job, WG. This deserves the rec record.

(You so love my mix CD’s. Adorable.)

I had a good chuckle....

It’s been a few interesting seasons huh? Loved the pix of PV downing the yager….I did cringe when I saw Matt Bush tho….but then Kotsay’s wife made up for that. I also vote for this to be shown at Petco right before the players run onto the field.
