Game Thread: 3/28, Padres vs. Angels
Just when the city of San Diego thought it had put the terrible wild fires in the past, the Padres felt the need to open the wound again. So cruel...
San Diego Padres recognize Wildfire Survivors and First Responders:
Pre-game ceremonies include a salute to more than 35 first-response organizations that assisted in the relief effort. Padres players and coaches will exchange caps with individuals from these organizations and the team will wear the just-presented caps during the game. Participating organizations include several Southern California fire agencies, various law enforcement groups, the American Red Cross, U.S. Border Patrol and animal rescue organizations.
The game is at Petco tonight, tomorrow it's in Anaheim. We were all supposed to go to the game tonight. First Kev dropped out, then Dex, then Jon. Who knew that Spring Training was supposed to hurt this much? No wonder I never went before.
I just visited the Padres website and look what I saw:
Three is a magic number, believe it.
We don't know who's playing tonight until the teams take the field because Corey Brock hasn't put up the line up, so we have nothing to steal.

The words "magic number" make me want to hurl

I fully expect this
to be the first of many DL trips for Edmonds this year.
Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.
OT ... what does this mean?
At the risk of, and fully expecting some, smartass answers, I'd like to know what this statement means ... speaking about Dodger Stadium, the LATimes Blog says ...
There's more new paint in the expanded concourses (which look great, by the way) to give people a contact high. Any huffers among the season ticket pool are gonna be psyched.

It is LA...

I'm a little bit behind
I'm catching up on the DVR. I think the Padres should wear these crazy assorted hats all the time.
Not any hat...

One of the players (I am looking in Giles' direction) would abuse the hat privileges.
Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.
Batting Helmets
You know how this season the base coaches need to wear helmets? I kinda think that they need the ear protector. For protection and the helmet doesn't look like it would stay on very well without it. I guess players used those for years though.
I think one of the guys should wear a leopard skin pill box hat
It'd be like a mattress balancing on a bottle of wine.
How does the flu
get around the club house so easy? I saw how much anti-bacterial gel they have around. I know the flu is a virus and not bacterial, but still.
I have to get used to the preview post
somebody on the giants thread was talking about TAB ENTER TAB ENTER, to do it quickly let me try.
I want Cubs fans to warn me about getting my hopes up about Prior
I haven't heard enough of that yet. It'll drive them crazy when I insist that this is his year and he'll give us a piggy back into the world series.
One of the reasons I like him so much.
Just his name draws this total irrational anger from them. I love it.
I like this new commenting
this is the first I've really done it. It's so nice not refreshing every few minutes or trying to find that new comment up at the top.
And the new picture function
is really nice. The less HTML I am required to punch out, the better. I am sure the new setup will foster many a blessing of unicorns. (Thank you google for helping me name groups of imaginary rally-starters)
Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.
I wonder
if Steve Quis and Vasgersian get along. I'm guessing no. I bet they only communicate through Grant.
"Mark would you please tell Quis that he's not to touch my score books"
For a second
I thought Kouz was wearing a UPS hat instead of a Border Patrol cap. That would have been funny if UPS was a first responder to the wild fires.
What, no Fez.
I am watching the replay of tonight's weird hat thing game (which is completely pathetic) and I imagine the players running around with little velvety fezzes - tassles and all.
Maddux
He dominated, why did he come out after only 3 IP?
