Open Thread, 4/5: Padres vs Dodgers

PrintLos Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres, Apr 5, 2008 12:55 PM PDT
Back to rooting for the Padres. I guarantee you Jake Peavy will try to win today's game so convincingly that the Commissioners Office will give us credit for a win yesterday, even though we lost. They'll say, "Jeez... Did you see what Peavy did? That seriously deserves two wins." If it weren't specifically forbidden by the rules of baseball and several chapters and verses in the Bible, I think Jake Peavy would have already hunted down and eaten most of the Dodgers to guarantee his win.
Next best thing, Jake! Just go for the next best thing!
GO PADRES!!!

Good thing about 10 dollar beers
at the Premier club. Don't remember the 7th inning. So in my world, it never happened. My head is still killing me though. Drama, can you make me a bloody mary real quick?

Okay
I haven't been told by MLB.tv that I am BLACKED OUT, and it doesn't say that it's a national blackout, so I'm hoping that I'm in. But it's not DOING anything, so I don't know. . . .
Capri. Baseball will get me through the Bar.
Preliminary worry
I still have 12 minutes. The stress! The agony! I better get to watch this or i will be too drunk to make it to law prom.

Maybe you'll get away with it in the first week!?
If you get it, it'll be a fluke, but good luck!!
If you don't, you may receive an email at the one you signed up with for fantasy baseball...it may or may not be of use to you :)

You're so sweet
I'm in. No indication I'm supposed to be blacked out. Maybe they figured out that when they input the zip codes to select the different markets for Fox that they can do the same thing for all of us on MLB tv.
Capri. Baseball will get me through the Bar.
The rule
Is that when games are shown on Fox, everyone in the U.S. (and 5 other countries) is blacked out from *any* game until 5 pm, or something like that...basically, Fox wants only their television broadcasts to be watched when they're broadcasting them...the fact that you're able to watch any game on there today is a fluke, but I PROMISE I won't tell the authorities.

Crap!
My internet took a quick vacation during all that hubbabaloo. What happened? Bard went into the dugout and fell down so they get a run?
Rule says
That if you catch a ball and go out of the field of play, it's an error on the fielder and a free base for each runner. Bard technically caught the ball out of the field of play (inside the first step of the dugout), so the runner on third scored.
by California Penal on Apr 5, 2008 2:07 PM PDT up reply actions
More or less, yes.
I prefer it when the catcher's going into the other team's dugout and they just leave him alone, but that's just my nature.

Meanwhile, in Detroit,
White Sox outfielder Carlos Quentin caught a fly ball about 10' short of the warning track in left field, then loaded up and threw a ball ON THE FLY to the first baseman, who never had to move off the bag to catch the ball to double up a wandering Edgar Renteria. Really an unbelievable play, seek out that game's highlights tonight to watch it. Crazy stuff.

Unfortunately for him, he can't utilize his speed because he has a little league swing and can't get on base.
