Open Thread, 4/29: Padres vs. Phillies

Untitled_tiny by jbox on

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.

Let's get maddux

his 350th tonight. Please?

So

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

by sacpadre on Apr 29, 2008 4:01 PM PDT   0 recs

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.

We've all experienced those delirious moments where one thing leads to another and you find yourself at the end of the night messing around with sheep. It's something we all have in common. -jbox

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.

That was a pathetic ass swing on the first pitch of the AB. Terrible.

“Maybe we should stick to hitting home runs” – Or hitting period.

we need to get some runs right here if we want maddux to get his landmark today.

Can’t we get Jim Edmonds to sell hot dogs or roll tarp on the field?

maybe i’ll stop getting harassed by his friends and family now.

I can't believe you just said that

NEVER GIVE UP!!! SCREW THE WERTHS!!!

by Winfield's Ghost on Apr 29, 2008 6:27 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

i think it's probably enough to add him to my fantasy teams

i’m not sure my wife would approve of going so far as to what you’re suggesting, wg.

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?
