San Diego Padres at Philadelphia Phillies, Apr 29, 2008 4:05 PM PDT
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.

I have said it before
Hairston should be the everyday centerfielder.

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

we won’t pull him until its 12-2 in this inning :{

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.
