GameThread, 4/15: Padres vs Rockies

PrintColorado Rockies at San Diego Padres, Apr 15, 2008 7:05 PM PDT
And so we revisit two of the more annoying memories of last season... Game 163 and this crazy unretiring of the universally retired number 42. To many, Game 163 was an amazing, joyous cause for celebration. To the Padres faithful, it was a stab in the proverbial gut. I do not know the proverb that references being stabbed in the gut. I do know that it did not come from the one about the boy who cried wolf.
Speaking of wolfs.
Randy Wolf goes for us today, not to avenge our loss in game 163, but rather to begin the battle anew with our counterparts sitting atop their little mountain, drinking moonshine. We face Ubaldo Jimenez. I tried (briefly) to figure out what what the name Ubaldo means, but I couldn't figure it out. The guy who made us the first batch of t-shirts was named Ubaldo. The batch turned out well, but it ended up being such a hassle to get them made and sent out. We'll one day revisit the t-shirt thing, but that makes 3 reminders within this one game of stuff that irritated me last year.
GO PADRES!!!

The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
I'm not.

That's a good thing, ultimately
Mud’s right. Not the time to stretch a guy just off of surgery. I want him in September.
would have been cool
to get san diegos 1st no hitter ever against these dream crushers.
"I really can't control what people have said," Peavy said. "It's a big story in L.A., and I don't have a lot of friends in L.A."
That's
one helluva game pitched by Mr. Wolf, thus far. Done for the night?
"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
I sure hope so.
With a 6 run lead, in April, and a guy coming off surgery who has thrown 115 pitches….Wolf better be driving out for fish tacos right about now.
Mmmmm, fish tacos.

What was that about an exotic dancer?
Was that Wiggins’ mom?

Oh. My bad.
Another acceptable answer would have been “WG”.

Does anyone look at a comment for a long time...
...and think about whether your reply to that comment will finally get you kicked off GLB?

"I was tied to a chair and he had a baseball bat. Pissing him off was the smart thing to do."
Absolutely.
That one time... right after I put the picture up I thought “oooh, that was just completely effin’ stupid x dumb”

BTW
Most people don’t know this, but Wally Schang was the greatest offensive catcher of the World War I era.
Schang lover
(Although, I admit, he’s a snappy dresser.)

Holliday's chin has healed nicely
You know, from back when he scuffed it in the dirt while he was busy not touching home plate.

Great game
I like when the SP I was most worried about coming into the season turns in a 1 hit shutout. Nothing wrong there.
The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
I'm not mad
It’s ok, I know its all in jest. I know that I have 4 tickets to tomorrow night’s game in section 101 in the first ten rows. I know I’m gonna start drinking at Dick’s Last Resort at 3 PM. I just wish I could be here with you guys.
Oh my god. Oh my god, what's happening to me? I'm like that Texas woman who gave her son brain damage by holding him under water. (gasps) I'm just like Barbara Bush! - Lois Griffin

Dick's Last Resort
That’s awesome. I was too embarrassed to recommend it to matto619 when he was looking for places to pre-party.
