Open Thread, 4/2: Padres vs Astros

Crackerjackdex2_tiny by Dex on Comment 472 comments

Houston Astros @ San Diego Padres


I will admit it. I fell asleep for a relatively good portion of last night's game, though I did manage to rouse myself from a delightful dream about growing kiwi fruit in what I believe was my third grade classroom to witness Trevor Hoffman lock down his first save of the season despite being somewhat despised by  "in the know" Padres fans.

I will, however, do my best to remain conscious for tonight's game as the Padres attempt to demonstrate that they are indeed the best 1-2-3 in all of baseball. I will also readily admit that I am feeling rather hopeful that Justin Huber will play in tonight's game and somehow manage to upend himself into walking on his hands as he did in his previous performance. I am envious of people who can walk on their hands. Envious indeed!

GO PADRES!!!

Dex, I thought you were my friend. I know jbox hates me, but I thought I could count on you.

Time to retire, or leave for another team. Headley in LF. Some combo of Keg, Shrek, Edmonds, Gerut, and Huber in CF and RF. Honestly I don't think we need Edmonds either. Maybe go get an upgraded OF but stay young, the youth movement if what is going to win us games this year. Thoughts anyone?
