Around SBN: Phillies trade for OF Matt Stairs Bar-right-arrows



In the midst of snakes

By chance, are any of my fellow GLB'ers going to be making the hard slog through the desert to support our boys at Chase this weekend? I'm heading to Phoenix tonite with the wife and the parents to watch the Padres finally hit a fuc*king homerun. Seriously, it's Chase Field. If I don't see a HR on either Friday or Saturday, I'm gonna cry.

Given that this is my first time to Chase, is there anything I should particularly pay attention to whilst in the snake pit? And no, I'm not talking about that incredibly annoying scream by The Who everytime a Diamondback goes yard. If I wanted annoyingly shrill sounds emanating from a PA system, I'd go see a game at AT&T.

I’ve been there a bunch of times and I find it sort of generic. Everything’s clean, fans are pretty nice, but I didn’t find anything unique about it. Part of that is that I’m always there in the summer and they usually have the roof closed, so it’s a much different feeling I’m sure than when the roof is open. With the roof closed, its like a big gymnasium, sort of like the old Astrodome was.

Bunch of nice bars and restaurants down in that area, though.

Also – I hate that stupid runway from the mound to the plate.

Please bring freelunch with you.

That way if you happen to run into Daron Sutton or Mark Grace she can unleash her fury.

Totally would

But I don’t want to exacerbate things with ‘Tec. He’s still pissed about our fantasy draft.

+1

for making a Simpsons reference, even if it IS anti-snake.

Kouzmanoff hits a HR tonight

That’s a TGH guarantee.

"I hate snakes"

And, I'm still waiting for Meredith or Bell to come in the seventh inning of April 4's game with the bases loaded, the score tied and Thatcher struggling.

"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."

Well,

I can only hope that you enjoy the game tonight at The Artist Formerly Known As The BOB.

Seriously.

Without the Padres winning, of course.
