Wife: Why are you so excited?

Me: It’s Opening Day!

Wife (looking me up and down): That explains the Padres hat on your head. What’s with the rainbow tattooed on your chest?

Me: It’s Opening Day!

Wife: Okaaaaayyyy. Is that a stuffed unicorn you’re holding?

Me: It’s Opening Day!

Wife (studying me): Close your eyes for a second.

Me (closes eyes)

Wife: Why do you have “Dex” and “jbox” written on the outside of your eyelids?

Me: It’s Opening Day!

Wife: Whatever. But could you at least go put some clothes on?

Me: It’s Opening Day!

Repeat after me - Trevor is ready.

Jake and Roy won't be friends tonight.

A quick preview of tonight's game.

And check out Drama's SLPiH from yesterday - lots of good stuff.

It's Opening Day!

Aside from Xmas

This is easily my favorite day of the year.

Xmas Lover!

Dodgers

Gee, we never saw this coming...

We'll see how long

this lasts. All it takes is Kent to throw a bitch fit to Jamie McCourt and Pierre will be sandbagging their OF yet again.

Fantastic

The real beauty of it is that the contract is for FIVE years. No one will ever take that contract off their hands.

I knew Mrs. Ghost and Mrs. Hatching should hang out...

Me: (opens eyes, blinks a few times, looks over at wife sleeping...) "HEEEYOOOOOAAAHHHH!!!"

Wife: "Jesus [Lopez]! What the hell is wrong with you?"

Me: (to the tune of Rock & Roll 2) "Da da, Da da, Da Daaa Daaa Da OPENING DAY! Da da, Da da, Da, Da Daaa Daaa Da OPENING DAY!"

Trade prediction:

Tim over at MLB Trade Rumors has a few trade predictions for July 2008. The Padres are in one of them:

Padres acquire Jason Bay for Kevin Kouzmanoff and Wade LeBlanc. Bay returns to San Diego to provide some power and solve the left field issue. Chase Headley takes over at third for the Padres.

Hmmm

That actually makes some sense. Have to think about it for awhile, though.

over at DS as well. I think Bay is a bit overrated personally. I would want to see him put up MONSTER numbers in the first half to pull the trigger on this. The FO is also REALLY REALLY high on LeBlanc.

JB's been downhill for the last 2 years.

I'd rather stick with the youth movement, unless we can trade for or acquire a real bat.

Hell yeah OPENING DAY!!!!!!

The lull between Chargers season and now took FOREVER. Here's to 6 solid months of baseball awesomeness!

WOOHOO!!!

I can live again!

OPENING DAY!

I took the day off. I've got to conserve my energy for all the long nights coming up. . . .

Capri. Baseball will get me through the Bar.

So many ways to go with that one....

Holding back?

You must be trying to conserve energy, too. Otherwise, you won't be able to keep it up all season.

Opening Day

It's like Christmas. Seriously, I've been giddy ALL morning. I even wore my Padres Jersey to work to represent! And everyone I see keeps asking me if I'm ready. Dumb question in my own humble opinion, but whatevs.

"i kinda feel like nevin and klesko were some fling we (the padres) had in the past and now realize were a bad idea and are embarrassed about."

by freelunch on Mar 31, 2008 11:46 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs

Same here!

And does everyone act like they are the first one's asking? Like you haven't heard the same question 20 times today! I'm rocking my Peavy jersey at work and have been getting the same routine.
