Open Thread, 4/4: Padres vs Dodgers

Los Angeles Dodgers @ San Diego Padres
Oh man I hate the Dodgers. I'm not sure why, but a fire burns within my soul whenever we play the Dodgers. Personally, I think it's a compliment when fans of other teams hate your favorite team. It seems to me that's a little better than just being completely indifferent or even worse, dismissive. The Dodgers and their fans should take it as a compliment that I think they smell like the rear ends of farm animals that have eaten lots of seafood and barley.
Interestingly, Dodger Thoughts' goes for the reverse jinx (as opposed to my blatant digust) and points out our overall advantage over the Dodgers since their World Series. That's kinda friendly of them, though it makes me hate them even more for thinking of the idea to do that before I did.
Here's a topic for discussion. Given that wins against the Dodgers mean more to us since they're in our division, would it have made more sense to have started Germano yesterday and let the Dodgers face Wolf, Peavy and Young? Here's the followup. Does it make sense that Young should pitch after Peavy at all? Wouldn't it make more sense to order pitchers so that their styles vary from day to day and their tendency to use the bullpen also alternates? So many questions.
GO PADRES!!! BEAT LA!!!

I've always been
a proponent of staggering pitchers to switch up the look.
Agree 100%.

Like a Peavy - Maddux - CY type thing. It makes total sense.

that Jayson Werth still played for the Dodgers. It's not as much fun to piss off his dad now that he sucks for the Phillies.

Enchanted
Never seen it, but my niece is a huge fan. Actually, it was showing on a flight of mine recently, but I opted to watch The Wire on my laptop instead. There was this group of little kids milling about the aisle around me, trying to get a peek at some of the nudity/drugs/violence.

Once through the rotation...
and I've mostly liked what I'm seeing. Maddux HR problem was the only down spot. Wolf and Germano--the biggest question marks--had 2 solid outings this week. I'm going to focus on that.
The bullpen, as we all know, can be fixed, if it even comes to that. If our starting pitching 1-5 is as good all year as it was this week....then the Padres will win a lot of games.

Cold Cold Cold
I resorted to using my towel as a Sandinista-style facemask after about the 2nd inning. This didn't hold a candle to the Holiday Bowl, where i'm pretty sure I lost feeling in my hands, but you know it's a chilly night when people are barely peeking over their sweater collars to see the action.
Germano, while a little erratic, pitched extremely well and made pitches when he needed them. Kuroda's a tough SOB, but I'm sure as more teams get a book on him he'll lose some of his dominating abilities. It would have helped if we TOOK SOME G.D. PITCHES, too. Can't let a guy make it through 7 innings under 80 pitches when you've never faced him, that's absolutely unexcusable.
On a chilly night, to reference my username/avatar, perhaps we needed Hats For Bats. We hit the ball hard a few times, though a few of them were right at defenders. Khalil's catch was just silly...he gets such an amazing jump on every pitch, which always puts him in a position to make a play. The best players don't have to make fancy plays, because they've made the right moves before the ball gets to them.
As for the Trolley Dodgers, what I love about their fans is they actually *CARE* about the Padres now. It used to be that they'd largely ignore our fans, our team, our games...now, they hate us, they really really hate us! Just like a bad relationship, you know it's gone south when each person's indifferent to the other, as opposed to when they're fighting, which means they still care and still have a reason to be angry. If Dodger fans have gone from ignoring us to taunting us after a win, it's clear we've made some real progress there :)
