Open Thread, 4/29: Padres vs. Phillies

San Diego Padres @ Philadelphia Phillies


You know what today is?   It's Visit to the Vault day.  This is the day that Jim "the Genius" Pursel and the Mark Grant Fan Club makes its annual trip to the ballpark to cheer for Mark Grant.  Can you believe this is already the 5th year of Visiting the Vault?  Me neither.

Greg Maddux tries yet again to get his 350th career win.  He battles Cole Hamels, husband of Heidi from Survivor the TV show.

Also keep your eyes out for Chase's Chicks as they try to seduce Chase Utley.

Don't forget to boo Jayson Werth.

So

I’d like to see Crabbe start at SS sometime. Mix things up a bit. I’m just sayin’.

Black

needs to shake up the lineup. Drop Giles to the 2 spot. Move Hairston up and see more playing time.

I love the Phillies announcer

I’m always expecting him to start talking about some epic football game.

I have said it before

Hairston should be the everyday centerfielder.

Well you know you have to have one hand on a beer at all times then. Kind of like Phantom staying in the bathroom except ten times more awesome.

i wonder if there's a statistically significant difference since last year

like is this just something that could’ve happened last season and we got lucky, or does the bullpen really suck this bad?

6 hits and 2 runs

Shut the f**k up and learn how to hit or go get somebody that can. They cry and bitch about Petco?? This team couldn’t hit at Williamsport.

They would probably lose in the West Regional and not even get to Williamsport.
