Smells Like Padres in Here - Wednesday Edition

East Coast, West Coast, it doesn't matter.  We can  lose  anywhere.

The team has so far faced pretty much every stud NL pitcher around.  Man, does this team love excuses.

Tickets for the All-Star Game are cheap this year, if you are a rich guy.  Good thing there won't be too many Padres wasting their time in that silly exhibition game.

CY goes against Jamie "I'm not dead yet" Moyer tonight.  Game time is 4:05pm PDT.

So, Once again

Dude

Knock off the optimism, okay? Nobody wants to hear that kind of stuff around here anymore. Don’t try to convince me that Ricky Nolasco isn’t the next Sandy Koufax. I know better.

(Mark Hendrickson is good? When did that happnen?)

Fine. How about this?

If we don’t take 3 out of the next 4, then this Padres team is officially one of the worst I’ve seen in the last 30 years… in which case, I’ll pop in later (maybe October) to see how things are going.

Didn’t look pleased last night with BB.

Well Padres, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.

Is it too early

to start wearing a bag over my head at home games?

If I drew a smiley face on the bag would that be considered contradictory?

If you can't be a good example, at least serve as a horrible warning...

The end of the Oscar Robles era

He was claimed off waivers by the Phillies yesterday. Can’t find a link to it, but it’s on ESPN’s transactions page.

Padres.com confirms

Mauro Zarate was taken off the 40-man as well.

Possible addition to the 40-man in the near future?

My guesses

Nick Hundley will be added and start splitting time with Bard. Morton goes off the 25 man roster.

A long shot is Will Venable. He’s been hitting pretty well in AAA could be a CF candidate at some point.

I watched all 23 innings and all I got was this lousy signature.
