Around SBN: Phillies trade for OF Matt Stairs Bar-right-arrows

Open Thread: 4/30, San Diego vs. Philidelphia

San Diego @ Philadelphia


Fortunately this is our last day of sucking until June 1st.  It's going to be nice to go undefeated in May.  Today is totally different.  Today we have no chance of winning.  Hoping for the Padres' bats to connect with Phillies' balls is like hoping for LC and Stephen to get together, it's pointless it's never going to happen!  We just have to move on, no matter how much they tease us.  Look at the bright side tomorrow is May 1st and all our troubles are over.

Go Padres!

There was a player's only meeting before the game...

My question is…did they let Iguchi’s translator in? He isn’t a player….

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

the team had a players only meeting

and are now ready to play some great ball games

Kidding Me?

Micah Owings hit a pinch hit HR to win the game for the D-bags? Damn. April can’t end soon enough.

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

Owings tied it with the HR

Byrnes won it with an RBI single. Just as bad, really.

Come on, May…

Do you think KT can trick the Pirates GM

into trading us Nate Mclouth to play CF for us? The guy is hitting .342 with a .425 OBP 1.083 OPS and has 7 HRs and 25 RBIs out of the leadoff hole.

Is it just me?

I feel like Wally has the hitters swinging early in the count in order to try and jump-start some of the hitters.

it’s so great to have a cleanup hitter pick up his 8th RBI of the season on April 30th….Meanwhile Mclouth has 25 out of the leadoff spot in Pittsburgh
