Open Thread, 3/31: Padres vs Astros

Houston @ San Diego
Oh it's on now, boys and girls. Peavy goes against Roy Oswalt and lucky for us, Oswalt's probably Peavy's best friend on the Astros and grooving a pitch to the opposing team's pitcher isn't the scariest thing in the world, so I'm feeling good about the matchup.
I'm stll learning the ins and outs of the new system so your guess is good as mine as to what will show up during the Open Tread.
I'm feeling a little faint at the prospect of baseball again. Getting that dizzy feeling as baseball season once again starts seeping into my veins. Here come the irrational thoughts. Here comes the wonderfully sickening euphoria. Oh man... My stomach's starting to turn. Cold sweats.
The Gaslamp Ballers who could be in attendance are at the ballpark by now. It's just us now. Just us.
GO PADRES!!! NO FAKE QUESO!!!
PADRES! PADRES! DON'T GET HURT!!!
PADRES! PADRES! DON'T EAT DIRT!!!

Seriously
Am I the only one who feels faint right now? I really really want the Padres to start with a win.

It reminds me
of my grandmother dying and us scoring 11 in the first. Fair trade?

i always thought that 12 run first innings
were the trade off for death of a family member?

If we get off to a really good start,
I'll be expecting a phone call.

Well it does rhyme
Which is the most important thing in a slogan.
Except last year, when the slogan didn't rhyme.

You know what's weird?
We haven't seen Jonny Dub since GLB went 2.0.
Does he hate new-fangled technology?
by Winfield's Ghost on Mar 31, 2008 6:49 PM PDT 0 recs
I don't think he's figured it out yet
He put up a cat avatar and then got weirded out by all the lights and colors.

I figured maybe
you guys put in some sort of cat-block in the 2.0 and it was driving him insane.

Play Ball!
Hello Everyone!
My first post since the last (horrid) game of 2007...nice to be back! Hello Dex, hello, jbox, hello Drama, Hello.....The Third Gonzalez???
Anyway, I'm so amped for the first Padres game of the season! I've got a frozen SD Chicken Pie Shop chicken pot pie ready to heat up for dinner, and some SD-brewed Green Flash IPA to wash it down with, as I enjoy some SD baseball on a glorious HD television! I. Can't. Wait.
Unfortunately, my computer is two rooms away from my TV, so I probably won't be checking in too often. But I'll try to comment during commercials.
GO PEAVY!!! GO PADRES!!!!
