Open Thread, 3/3: Padres vs Milwaukee

by Dex on Mar 3, 2008 11:58 AM PST in News

Lots of bad blood in today's matchup as we face the team that kidnapped Mr. Padre Junior and brainwashed him into working against us. It's like the episode of Thundercats where Wiley Kit and Wiley Kat were brainwashed by Mum-Ra into working against the other Thundercats. What's interesting is their eyes kept glowing red and they kept grinning evilly. How did the other Thundercats manage to become so fooled? Nobody thought to ask the youngsters why their eyes glowed red? Did anybody check Tony Junior's eyes before his AB against Trevor? I bet they glowed red.

It's interesting to think of how many teams the Padres have beef with these days. Our team used to be so lovable and snuggly and now? Misfits with no friends.

You guys listening to the game today? Me neither. Oh, wait, you are? OK me too.

Lineup stolen from Corey Brock who apparently realizes that's what we're using him for. Corey's become our new lineup whore.

CF -- Jeff DaVanon
RF-- Jody Gerut
3B -- Kevin Kouzmanoff
1B -- Adrian Gonzalez
C -- Josh Bard
LF -- Chase Headley
2B -- Edgar Gonzalez
SS -- Oscar Robles
SP -- Chris Young

Chase Headley better do something exciting or else.

GO PADRES!!! KILL MILWAUKEE!!!

Question

If Corey Brock is our new lineup whore...who was the old one?

Jayson Werth's dad?

Dodgers.....

The Dodgers are bringing Mark Sweeney to China. Poor China.

by Drama on Mar 3, 2008 12:41 PM PST reply actions

Mark Sweeney's gonna love China

He strikes me as a guy who's into Asian girls.

Dex

Over there they're just "girls".

Edgar

Edgar is already striking the fear of God into opposing pitchers...now they just drill him instead of pitch to him.

Brooks Conrad

Over the weekend, for the A's, Brooks Conrad had 4 ABs over two games and went single, homer, double, triple with 2 runs and 3 RBIs.

CY & Josh

Two innings...two stolen bases given up.

by Drama on Mar 3, 2008 12:46 PM PST reply actions

Written Monday, Feb. 25th:

"I hope Brooks breaks through with the A's. At the very least, I hope he gets a really good look at what he could contribute to a big league club. OK. You don't have to hear about Brooks for another month or so."

Stop with the lies, Dex.

by Drama on Mar 3, 2008 12:48 PM PST reply actions

"or so"

What month was that written? What month is it now?

by Dex on Mar 3, 2008 12:50 PM PST up reply actions

Stop, Dex.

You're an addict. It's ok. We're here to support you. We just want you to get better.

by Drama on Mar 3, 2008 12:51 PM PST up reply actions

I'll stop giving Brooks updates

Once you stop writing diary titles in all caps.

by Dex on Mar 3, 2008 12:53 PM PST up reply actions

Apparently...

...we have reached a stalemate in our negotiations.

So, Brooks really had a single, homer, double and a triple with 2 runs and 3 RBIs? Cool.

by Drama on Mar 3, 2008 12:57 PM PST up reply actions

2-1

Slow down, Padres! Save some for the regular season!

by Dex on Mar 3, 2008 12:54 PM PST reply actions

Cobwebs...

Ahh a spring training game day Open Thread! I'll have to shake off the rust and remember how to do this again...

So far, so good: 2-1 Pads

that's what this is for

Gotta get back in the groove. At first you may find yourself posting comments that aren't funny and/or interesting at all, but you'll get your summer legs under you soon enough.

Or actually, maybe some people will accidentally be funny and interesting before getting their summer legs and posting comments that are completely unfunny and uninteresting.

is CY still pitching?

i just tuned in and i don't really trust the box score.

Headley

So do you guys think he is making the team this year?

by fairweather on Mar 3, 2008 1:08 PM PST reply actions

Ummmm....

Speaking of not trusting the box score...according to the Tex-SF boxscore Noah Lowry started for the Giants today. His linescore:

1.0 IP, O hits, 4 ER, 2 wild pitches and NINE walks.

Holy shit. Could that be right?

by Drama on Mar 3, 2008 1:09 PM PST reply actions

Yep

I talked to a friend who actually took time out of his day to point the game out to me. Apparently he walked 6 out of the first 7 batters he faced... or something like that. I think that's got to be some kind of record for shitty starts. Miraculously, they only got 3 runs.
